Races
The hulking race of horse-people. Their greatest leaders were once mercenaries. Their government is a bureaucracy. They are involved in a subtle conflict with another race to determine the destiny of other, younger species. They come from a low-gravity, resource-rich world that has no moon and a single ring surrounding it.
The gigantic race. Many members of their species are traders. Their society is dependent on one technology: cloning. They employ a servant species for some tasks. Their government is inefficient. They come from a high-gravity, resource-rich world that is known for being an excellent place to observe astronomical phenomena.
The spindly race that resembles the trolls of earth mythology. They have powerful hearing. They have five stubby manipulatory limbs. They are famous for producing inventors. They would conquer the galaxy if they could, but so far haven't proven to be very good at it. Another race uplifted them to sentience. Their world of origin is flourishing, mineral-poor, has a single ring surrounding it, and is known for having its own special natural beauty.
The monstrous-looking race. Their greatest leaders were once thieves. They are masters of teleportation. Their government is an aristocracy. They are actually a biomechanical race created by another people.
The skeletal, dark-armored race. They have multiple nasal organs. They are lithovores. They never need to sleep. Their internal structure is very delicate - so any wound can be fatal. They do not reproduce, but instead infect and transform other beings into new members of their species. They dislike wearing clothing. They are rapidly expanding out of their solar system. Their world of origin is desolate, resource-poor, and has no moon.

The tiny race of leech-creatures. This race moves along on a sluglike foot. They are omnivores, but prefer to be herbivores. Social status, job, and so forth are demarked by a clear dress code. They control only one planet. The different genders of the species are very distinct physically. They come from a high-gravity, hot world.
The spindly, plant-based race. By tradition, they are a race of intellectuals. They know deep secrets about the universe. Their government is entirely dysfunctional. They were once a dead people - what brought them back to life is a matter of speculation.
The gas-based, skinless race. This race moves quadrupedially. They can consume almost anything material. They mutate in ways that let them adapt to their environment. They are a race of artists. When severely hurt, they enter a regenerative trance. They dislike wearing clothing. They are involved in a subtle conflict with another race to determine the destiny of other, younger species. Their world of origin is mineral-poor and has a single moon.
