Their natural charm and need for community makes them suitable merchants or work in retail services. Akorans have a natural allure to them, so it is not unusual to see Akorans flock towards broadcasting type roles. Lastly, the Akoran's brain thrives on adventure, exploration and thrills. It is common to see pilots and astrocartgraphers in the Akoran race. Their appearance is similar to a griffon like humanoid beast.

One of the two original sentient life forms occupying the Gabbochan systems, Gromkin have spread out through the galaxy with Gromkin communities having tragic origins as refugee encampments or abandoned slave dens. The goblinoids thrive in urban settings or large settlements, as they seek to exploit welfare, horde resources and seek shelter from the dangers of the galaxy. Gromkins assume everything is fair play and will take advantage of those weaker or unaware. They're not all bad though, a Gromkin is looking to make a deal. In exchange of long term protection or survival, the Gromkin will cast aside their own moral code to satisfy their end of the deal. They're interested in commitments and relationships that can last and are aware that they must say Humans parts.

About and Biology According to Golden Age data, Humans entered the Raelaris Galaxy through massive fleets of colonial ships. These ships were damage from their long voyage from the Milky Way galaxy, indicating disaster occurred somewhere between their departure and arrival in that galaxy. These ships held cryogenic humans, asleep for thousands of years. Slowly, fleets of these enormous ships started to arrive at the rim of the galaxy. Some ships crashing into deserted planets while others were intercepted by native Raelaris races. The Raelaris Empire captured many of these ships and awoke the Humans from their slumber. Since then, the Humans have spread quickly throughout the Raelaris galaxy, becoming one of the most common Race in the galaxy. It is not known what happened to the Milky Way or why the Humans left it. Many of the records were lost after the Raelaris Empire fell, when these colonial ships were used for scrap Kilatani through their pores.

About and Biology Kilitani are a race with the reputation of being calculating, cold hearted, ambitious and clever. A reputation that is well earned. Their ancestors did not escape their failing solar system through sheer luck, the species relied on its strategic planning to spread among the stars. The Kilatani mind is a fascinating one. It is not an ape-like mind, which is (on comparison) more altruistic and empathetic than a Kilatani mind. Kilatani are programmed to be long term strategists, willing to take short-term losses for the “long play”, meaning that they will backstab or climb over their peers if it suits them. A Kilatani has little true understanding for the word “guilt”. Technically speaking, the Kilatani are an cephalopod aquatic race, much like a whale or dolphin could be considered an aquatic race.

They are concerned with the now, and not what was or what will be. Orcos have a tendency for aggressive behavior because of this instinctual disposition. Orcos in society is a touchy subject. Typically, an Orco has no patience for commitment of a long- term investing or career path. They live in the now. As such, their culture and their communities are often run amuck with crime, poverty and violence. It isn’t unheard of an Orco escaping such pitfalls, but it is uncommon.

Their minds give them an ability to easily comprehend incredibly difficult tasks, making them the first to colonize the galaxy. Syndairian have a mindset of competitive craftsmanship, narcissism and egotism. Syndairian seek out approval from reputable sources of authority to “bless” the fruit of their labor. In this quest, they will bombard other rivals with harsh language in an effort to bully or discourage any progress, and sometimes sabotage their rival's efforts. Syndarian personalities do not know the term “humble” or “enough is enough”. Syndairians do not know restraint. They will "go hard" on a project, often causing burn out, turning into Biological Chemical Stimulants to keep on task.
