[[Oteshknirians excluded, see "Information" factbook for details of the Oteshknirian race]]

Pronguaska
Pronguaska are the dominant race on Oteshknir痴 moon Rymeth. They are a technologically primitive nomadic race that follow the moon痴 ever-moving tide, hunting and gathering on land, and fishing in the sea.

Appearance: The pronguaska are very humanoid and are quite similar to the Oteshknirian. They have fully webbed hands and feet and transparent second eyelids. A very distinguishing physical feature of the pronguaska are the bioluminescent patterns that form on their bodies that glow in a range of colors from person to person. They also have both gills and lungs, allowing them to live in water or air. While pronguaska are somewhat rare on Oteshknir, many choose to live in communities in the deeper areas of Oteshknirs waters beneath the surface.

Abilities: Pronguaska have a range of abilities found in many sea creatures on sonnel. They can generate an electric shock, similar to the electric catfish and electric eel, only on a much stronger scale. Pronguaska can create an electric arc reaching a few feet. They also have the sixth sense of electroreception, like sharks and rays, that detect electrical impulses in other creatures muscle contractions, sensing an animals movement before it happens. This, along with infrared sight, make them extremely adept hunters.

Diet: Omnivores, typically raw fish or cooked mammals, along with most types of Rymeth flora.



Lanthorian

Appearance: Lanthorians are advanced robotic AIs who outlived their ancient creators. they were built to look similar to their creators, who were humanoid. Lanthorians have a titanium endoskeleton structure, with their components located within their torsos and heads. Most Lanthorians are built with translucent white silicone plates around their bodies as well as face that mimic skin.

Abilities: Lanthorians are able to connect their "minds" to multiple bodies, although their government limits this. Each Lanthorian body part is modular, and can be removed, replaced, or modified as one wishes. Generally, Lanthorians keep backups of their "minds", and essentially cannot die unless their data is corrupted. Although Lanthorians are mechanical, they are completely waterproof and can withstand high heat.

Diet: None, although they require power to function. Standard Lanthorians operate on lithium-ion batteries, but more wealthy lanthorians tend to upgrade themselves to solar panels attached to themselves, or even fusion cells.



Tallian

Appearance: Tallians are native to the Talcent moon Tallum, which is extremely rich in heavy metals, and their biology reflects this. Tallians skeletons are comprised of metal, as well as bearing an exoskeleton of thick metal plates. To those of a different race, their faces are difficult to tell apart from the nearly identical pattern of metal plates that form protecting their face, so many Tallians who live off-world carve patterns into their exoskeletons to help others differentiate one Tallian from another.

Abilities: Being made of a large amount of metal, Tallians are extremely heavy and extremely strong. Average weight for an adult Tallian is nearly half a ton, and can lift nearly four times their weight.

Diet: Most life on Tallum contains high amounts of heavy metals, which are an important part of Tallian diet. Any off-world food needs to essentially be seasoned with shavings of these metals to make up for their deficiency.



Vandectelian

Not much is known about the Vandectelian race. They have always been incredibly secretive, and no leaked information slipped past their controlling government indicates anything about their appearance.
