Aliens, Creatures & Androids, Oh My!

Species: Graks "Moonheads"
Home World: Z-6

Physiology
The Graks are bipedal beings and sufficient workers. They have an acceptional ability to adapt to changing environments. Their skin tissue is more like a thin layer of cartilage over a skeletal structure. Also, their physiology allows them to exist in non atmospheric areas for a lengthy amount of time.

Habitat
The Graks prefer small moons and asteroids to build their colony bases on. Their homeworld, Z-6, was the perfect world for the Graks. However, their endless civil wars and weaponized culture devasted their planet and ionized their atmosphere. Most of all the lifeforms on Z-6 have become extinct. Their galactic war with the Krel Naga didn't help things either. About 300 gamma cycles ago, their planet's atmosphere collapsed causing the Graks to live in underground cities and bio domes. This unfortunate cataclysm has caused their species to become wreckless nomads, having no civil order and no place to call home.

Culture
Probably one of the most troublesome species in the galaxy, the Graks are notorious for their unwavering ability to cause havoc. They're referred as "Moonheads" because of the ridiculous shape of their cranium. However, as big as their heads are, their brains are actually quite small.

They at one time attempted to form a confederate government, but ended up blowing up their capital city by testing hydrogen bombs right next door to their government center. Since their government collapsed, law and order decayed, and their industry crumbled. Their planet became a haven for crime lords and black market operations. Most of the graks have found their occupation as pirates, rogues, terrorists, and annoyances throughout the star systems. They often commandeer other ships by force and raid cargo ships for their black market operations. They love weapons and technology and since they no longer can make their own, they smuggle and deal to get their hands on alien technology. Also, they love to just blow up ships for target practice when they are bored.

Species: Kelubdebaug "Metal Face"
Home World: Unknown

Physiology
There is no archive or common knowledge as to where the Kelubdebaug came from. Their physiology is mostly organic with cybernetic implants. They are bipedal beings that stand about 2.5 meters. They are able to survive in most environments and even worlds without an atmosphere. They eat intravenously with liquid elements from their world. Each Kelubdebaug is powered by a plasma energy cell that is wired to their brains. Their language is unknown, but their vocal cords reverberate when they speak.

Culture
They emerged from a dark mysterious star in some deep abyss as a conquering empire with vast technological power and great numbers. They made slaves of thousands and exterminated two species that we know of from existence, the Creeketese and the Jgambii. They conquered one of the three star clusters in the Gammagammu and reigned as overlords for 760 gamma cycles.

There also isn't much intelligence on their hierarchical order, however there were sightings of the Kelubdebaug working closely with some strange mysterious beings that seemed to be able to control them and were also able to vanish and reappear within the blink of an eye.

The Kelubdebaug's warships had superior long range and were numbered in the millions. Their ships were armed with deadly and vastly powerful plasma weapon technology. Once their ships invaded Confederation space they declared war and created havoc for 97 gamma cycles. They also used a devastating bio-chemical weapon called "The Ditt" on populations that caused people to become mindless berserkers that would kill each other. Entire worlds within Confederation territories collapsed because of this weapon and it became a galactic pandemic.

Species: Nume "Amoeboid"
Home World: Michrondronome

Physiology
The Nume are ancient sentient amoeboids that derived from the planet Michrondronome about three million gamma cycles ago. They are one of the oldest existing intelligent species in the galaxy. They can live for tens of thousands of gamma cycles and reproduce dozens of offspring. They have a thick cytoplasmic exoskeleton that is leathery and waxy and excretes a strange musk through tiny pores. Each Nume can listen and follow hundreds of conversations at the same time through a large circular air vibration sensory membrane in the middle of their bodies. This vibration membrane also changes color through an internal organ that emits bio-luminescent light depending on their mood. This light emits low frequency sound reflections so they can communicate one with another . They have no appendages or limbs, but have the ability to hover and move around in mid air by use of a strange floatation organ. Their floatation organ cryogenically converts their internal gasses into alpha particles similar to helium. They can regulate these particles internally through equilibrium so that they can maintain their elevation. Around their cytoplasm are small exhaust tubes that eject small bursts of gas, which enables them to move slowly. Their metabolism is very slow. They only need to eat small portions about every 10 gamma cycles. Their main diet is water and bacterial colonies. When they eat, they usually go to a lake or pool and suck in large volumes of water and filter through it to obtain tiny organisms with microscopic tentacles. This process often takes a quarter of a gamma cycle. Once they have obtained the nutrients they need, they are done eating and may continue their lifecycle.

Reproduction
Their reproduction process is also very slow compared to most organisms. They are asexual beings that reproduce one offspring every 500 gamma cycles. They have an incubation chamber inside their inner wall where the offspring develop. They are pregnant for 120 gamma cycles before the offspring breaks forth from a womb-like bag within the interior lining.

Habitat
Michrondronome is the 5th planet that orbits a complex white dwarf star system of three suns called the Delta Trivax. This planet has an oxygen compound atmosphere and thrives with millions of strange and exotic life forms. There are very powerful magnetic vortexes all across the surface that has caused massive tectonic plates to remain stationary in midair. The Nume are not the only dominant species on the planet. There is a species of feathered beings called the Indjgrunjun that live in tribes all over the planet. They fly and live on the elevated landmasses in large towering constructs. Together they have cohabited and protected each other for millenniums.

Culture
When there is a communion of several Nume, their communication frequencies sound like the music of a droning hum vibrating. They come together often and teach one another of their discoveries. The Nume are a race of observers and have a kinship with all life forms. They have no ambitions to conquer or destroy, but just dwell in peace. They have not acquired any technology and have no means of stellar transportation. When they were visited by the Nod Xish they volunteered to leave their world in order to explore new worlds and connect with other sentient beings.

Recent History
There was a notable time in their recent history about 200 gamma cycles ago that their planet was thought of as an easy target and was invaded by the Mangaurians, a vicious and violent species that wanted their natural resources. The Indjgrunjun tribal warriors fought back but had no defenses against the Manguarian's advanced weaponry and attack planes. Tens of thousands were massacred and thousands of Nume were also slaughtered without cause. Eventually the Nod Xish and the Acramysiam star fleet intervened and defeated the Manguarians evil faction.

Species: Krel Naga "Arachnoids"
Home World: Drenogg

Physiology
The Krel Naga is a higher form of an arachnoid species. There is an entire hierachy of breeds within the Krel Naga that range in size and function. The workers and harvesters stand about 2.5 meters and have 8 appendages. They have eight eyes and can see very well in the dark. Bright light blinds them so they often stay in cool dark places deep in their worlds. Their bodies have a tough exoskeleton that is very strong and can withstand hard impacts. They have thick hair patches with sensitive nerve endings that grows all over them. These nerve endings help them to feel vibrations and subtle sound waves.

They are carnivorous and prefer to eat living prey. When food sources are low, the workers are offered to the queen as a temporary source of protein. It is considered a great honor to serve the queen in this matter. The warriors are similar to the workers, but are larger, quicker, very sneaky and also much stronger. The warriors stand about 3 meters and have a tougher exoskeltal system and 12 large hairy appendages. The queens are the most to be feared in the Krel Naga consortium. They stand about 7 meters and have an extended thorax with 24 long legs. The queens lay about 40,000 eggs per gamma cycle. Only one queen is allowed in each fortress nest. If a queen lays an egg that has a queen larva in it, she will eat it to prevent any future rivalry.

Habitat
Drenogg is a large damp and humid moon that orbits the gas giant planet Acidrixxdrylithrium. There are 16 moons total and all of them have been colonized by the Krel Naga. They build their civilizations within massive fortresses made of thick sticky webbing produced by their queens. Each fortress is a giant nest with tens of thousands of harvesters and warrios. Within the nests are labyrinths and chambers filled with food and larva. There are hundreds of nests on each moon and a ship harvester. The ship harvester is a biological creation that grows interstellar ships made of organically engineered matter. This is how the Krel Naga have accomplished stellar travel.

Culture
Their culture is surrounded by their glorious queens and their nests. The Krel Naga worker or warrior is devoted to serving the queen and keeping her alive so their species can continue. They must keep her fed contantly less she grows hungry and eats all the eggs and even worse, their entire colony. This has happened before in their earlier times. Therefore the Krel Naga have set up many traps throughout their system to catch large space living creatures and medium sized ships. Once they capture a vessel or victim they send out their ships to extract them. There have been many times that the Krel Naga have invaded sovereign worlds to capture as many living organisms as they can. They have created many enemies by this and have found themselves in ongoing galactic wars with many sovereign worlds. They have had stellar technology for about 600 gamma cycles and their ships are large bio-organic vessels with toxic exotic weapons.
