Huan are considered vermin by most races. Seen as opportunistic and looked down upon, they have a poor reputation in their whole sector of space. They are around 7 feet tall and have armoured foreheads. They come in a variety of colours, usually with two to three on their bodies, though their young are pale and only develop their markings from around eight solars old.
Iladar have dark green skin with black scales covering their shins, forearms, shoulders and back. They have four arms and long green tendrils hanging from the back of their heads. The Kaita are natural leaders among their people who have the ability to shift to a larger armored version to protect their people.
Inadiine are 7 foot plus in height and bulky. They have dark grey to black skin, white hair and highly reflective eyes. They were among the earliest signatories of the Protectorate and have been members for over two hundred solars. They're known for their stealth tech, their advanced materials with which they can create stealth clothing and for their large criminal underground.
Ivoreshi males are smaller than their females. The species is distrusting by nature, taking time to get to know people before allowing anyone to get close. They're excellent fighters, hunters and killers and fiercely loyal to those they care about.
Kathen are large, with bulky muscles. They have six horns which curl around their heads, providing protection to their skulls. They come from a largely green planet and live harmoniously with their world. Their world was going to be invaded by the Bentari when the Maruzen approached them and offered them protection in exchange for soldiers to fight for their mutual defence. Kathen and Maruzen have had close ties since.
Keddor are another of the larger races. They have dark navy grey skin, which they tattoo with iridescent red and gold tattoos and have dark hair which the males tend to wear long and loose. Their eyes tend towards yellow to orange and often appear gold.
Kolder have deep amethyst skin, two sets of twisted black horns growing in a V above the eyes. They have black hair and teal, green and blue eyes. They practice slavery but are mostly interested in Zavi because Zavi are the closest to Kolder with their purple orchid skin. They have a very hierarchical society and are deeply racist.
Kuyon have blue skin, black on black eyes and electric blue hair. They breed in triads, two males to a female and all members are sexually active with one another. They need two fathers to create a child. In some Kuyon cultures the offspring has a blending of the father's names, whereas in others, the children take the mothers surname.
Ledaan have green skin and pink to purple eyes. Slavery is common to their society and they don't consider slaves to be real people. They have advanced armour tech. The armour Danithor carries in The Prisoner’s Deception was stolen from a Ledaan bounty hunter.
Luadaal have pale white to off white skin, dark blue hair and eyes. They have an honour-based society, and military service is required of all members.
Maruzen are a predatory race, Maruzen bodies have lean, dense muscles, meaning they're extremely strong. They have dark, dusky purple skin, grey eyes and dark purple-black hair. Their claws are like cats, they retract into sheaths and they have prehensile tails.
Nbalan are a slave race living under the Ilidar. They have a variety of psychic abilities the least common and most desired of which is the ability to manipulate the nervous systems of other people. They have pale skin and purple hair of all shades.
Orthali are an extremely aggressive race. They're also sexually aggressive, meaning their women are commonly brutalised. They have two cocks, which are two of the strange tentacle things that grow on their backs, the others are pseudo-cocks. They wrestle with them to prove their dominance.
Potuun have pale cream skin with red markings and quills growing from the back of their heads. The males are smaller than the females.
Protectorate are the genetically altered human men stolen during the events of ‘The Violation’ on Earth in the mid-twenty-first century. They are a long lived species with pale skin, white hair and pale eyes of amber, green and blue. Due to them being genetically enhanced and altered, they carry the genes of Cealin, giving them long life, Sehn, which is where they get their horns from, as well as some of the properties of their venom and Fedhith which is where they get the orgasmic properties in their venom from. They also have the genes of various races including Inidiine and Weyilan, explaining the limited breeding ability with these races. However, their venom was altered specifically to genetically alter human women to make them Protectorate and therefore make them capable of breeding with humans. They were bred to be an army by the Cealin but killed their masters and left the planet where they were engineered. They subsequently founded the Protectorate and guard the borders and worlds of around forty races. Due to further Cealin experiments, there are now over three thousand Protectorate females and the first natural-born Protectorate are now being born.
Qoni are another of the larger races, growing from seven and a half to almost nine feet in height. They have digitigrade legs, thick tails and horns, purple skin with green markings.
Raqhan have cream skin with brown markings. Brown hair and ridged foreheads with bright blue and green eyes. Heresh, the pit fighter is Raqhan. Their race believes they have the right to slaves by divine decree.
Scrants are a mystery. Few know what scrants look like, or anything about their society except that they built Alidai pit and the city around it.
Sehn come in a variety of colours, from very dark, to light. They have long hair, with antelope horns. They are venomous, but can also create antidotes to venoms, poisons and toxins. This becomes tailored to their mates when they take one and bite them. They bite each time they have sex and their venom can also deliver anti-virals, anti-bacterials and more. The males are significantly larger than the females. Varid from Alidai pit is Sehn.
Surilan look a lot like humans. They are larger, but nowhere near the size of the larger races. To protect themselves from slavery, many of the Surilan people augment themselves to some degree or another. Very few people are allowed to leave Surely, and those that do are either farmers or become criminals. Kaiton and the Prince Eternal are Surilan.
Tensa are butterscotch in colour. They have four horns on their heads, a thick tail, digitigrade legs with three huge toes.
Tessans are a mix of races that live on the planet Tessa. The Protectorate are now the most numerous of those races since they joined in 2369, claiming the planet as their home and opening it up to freed slaves.
Ualha are one of the slave races. They are extremely pale with black markings, black eyes and white hair. The males are ovipositors. Their planet falls under Fedhith space who ‘administrate’ their planet and the people in breeding facilities.
Uunda are an arachnid race. They stand are bipedal beings but have four more appendages that exist in a desiccated state in a bundle on their backs. When needed, a hormone is released that allows them to expand. At this point, the Uunda can stand over ten feet in height and can scale sheer cliffs.
Walian have dark red skin. Thick tendrils on their heads, thick tails and digitigrade legs. Along with the Horran, Invoresh and Keddor, they are among the largest races standing at over eight feet tall.
