Anlam: a tall arachnid-faced species that are known for its advances in technology. They have small, vestigial wings that are unsuitable for flight. Usually grey or other neutral colors. Their leader is Heth.

Arnoxi (ar-knox-ee): a water-based alien species that are on the short side. They are soft-tissued, able to squeeze into almost any place imaginable. They are humanoid in shape. Their head resembles bioluminescent jellyfish that are used to communicate over long distances. Their leader is Avo.

Be'turian (beh-tur-ee-in): flying insectoids that are often blue. Their limbs are long and arch over their thorax. White, brown, or grey pigments can often be seen on these creatures due to a genetic mixup. Their leader is Zzir. Succeeded by Tzzzp.

Gcit (sit): a slug-like species. Their leader is Gnaroi.

Glorcxans (glor-shin): a large-eared species that resemble a bat. They are furry in nature and come in a myriad of colors, most often purple. They have eyes that are barely functional, as they mostly rely on their sense of hearing for navigation. They work well in groups.

Im'ill (ihm-eel): a four-armed armored species. They are humanoid in shape and have translucent skin that flows over their bones and muscles like water. 

Montet (moh-nay): a plant-loving species that hail from the planet Kuy. They are gardeners by heart. Herbivorous, they are often seen covered in vines and leaves. No one has seen what they truly look like. 

Moxi: subterranean lizards that rely heavily on light orbs to see.

Outkasts: a fabled, highly-feared species banned from the Alliance. 

Plorax: a humanoid species that rely on its lights to communicate. Their heads are completely covered in translucent cells that allow various colors of light to shine through.

Roxn (roh-skn): a magma-based species that are small-bodied and tough. Their skin is hard as a rock and they are born of magma and lava. Their leader is Roxen.

Straytex: a short-statured felinoid species.

Torra (tor-uh): a robotic race created by the Anlam. Some often question its true sentience, as they are not living beings. They are often box-shaped but have the freedom to choose what form they like. They are a hivemind.

Tretrian: An eight-limbed, bipedal species that is able to manipulate their limbs to move in almost any direction imaginable. Their faces are blank slates, hosting only dark, bulbous eyes. They have sparse hair cover on the top of their head, often only a few threads drooping in front of their face. They have no mouth and communicate solely with hand gestures and sign language. 

V'srk (virsk): a bull-like species that resembles minotaurs. Their faces are flat and they have sharp teeth. Their horns are large and heavy, curving into the air above their skull. Their leader is Nelcu.

They are often speckled with flowers and leaves. Their feet are woody stumps that are able to climb any sort of terrain. Their leader is Birum.
