Humans
Humans are the dominate species on Earth and have quickly spread through the areas of the galaxy they control. Humans are one of the most prolific races throughout the galaxy for their young age and with their aggressive expansionistic desire and sex drive they continuously pop-out an ever expanding race.
Humans are very versatile and flexible; although oft times they can be petty, jealous, greedy, and all the other deadly sins and even a few new ones even God didn’t think of until later on.

Dwuervan
Short of stature but filled with courage and strength the Dwuervan are the ones who started the Tunnel Union and are heavily into mining and the crafts that revolve around it but are also considered great warriors when they need to be.
The Dwuervan economy revolves mostly around mining but they also have a large amount of income that comes from tons of diverse amounts of artwork, gemstones, and other works of beauty created by their artisans.

Elharnian
Graceful, beautiful, and nigh unflappable the Elharnians are probably what the legends of elves evolved from.
The Elharnians while one of the largest races in the galaxy is also one of the oldest memoried ones as well with most of their race reaching into the 2500-3500 year old category [75% of their race]. This is a great concern since Elharnian females are only fertile for the first four hundred years of their life.
The Elharnians as stated before are thin and graceful, most have a pale skin with lighter colored eyes and hair but there are some Elharnian from the coastal region with darker skin and hair.
The Elharnians have a passion for the long blade and have a sharp eye when it comes to long range shooting and manufacture some of the highest quality swords, cutlery, and long rifles.

Ngorm
Probably one of the most annoying races in this spiral arm of the galaxy the Ngorm are inquisitive to the point of insanity and most of them spend their time driving everyone nuts with questions. If you’ve ever had a two year old you’ll know what it’s like to deal with an Ngorm.
Not to say that the Ngorm have the mentality of a two year old just their lines of questioning have a bad habit of following the same vein and the word why is the most prevalent in their speech [they actually have 507 words that mean why].
Other than their annoying inquisitiveness the Ngorm are a rather likeable race all and all and can be very loyal, they are also some of the best mechanics and engineers in the galaxy.
Ngorm Racial Description

Physical Description 	
Even shorter than Dwuervan the Ngorm are slight of build and generally dresses in loose clothing cluttered with pouches and tool belts. The men generally have short, pointed goatees and overly exaggerated mustaches that they have a tendency to groom to immaculateness even if every other portion of their bodies is covered in grease and mechanical fluids.

Relations 	
Ngorm generally get along with most races but only the Draganar, Yetin, and the Rahtahlans can really stand to be around them for long periods of time. The Dwuervan while relying on them for advanced engineering try to avoid them as much as possible, the Elharnians deep wells of patience are taxed to their maximum depths, and the Orlanc who are known for little patience are unable to be around them for long periods of time while the Yetin find them amusing.

Ngorm Planets 	
While the Ngorm populate numerous types of planets it just depends on what purpose the colony had started out with.
Unlike other races Ngorm colony missions are made up of like minded scientists and engineers [and of course their families]. For example a group wanting to test water based propulsion systems will choose a mostly water planet while a group wanting to test out new theories on mining will choose a rocky mountainous planet.

Tantalan
The Tantalan are those who have been infected by the Tantalus Nanno-Virus they appear very similar to the Quislings that were created by the Neo-Prussian Empire during the 7th Pan-Galactic War. Tantalans are part of the Tantalus Hive Mind but if they are somehow cut off from the Hive Mind for more than 24-hours they start having a personality of their own although this is very rare since all Tantalans are connected to the Hive Mind via Quantum Space Flux transceivers.

Relations 	
Most races distrust the Tantalans mainly because they look like Quislings plus the fact that the Tantalan Hive Mind has captured anyone entering their territory into Tantalans [although only humans can actually be assimilated any other races that are captured are exterminated or used for slave labor till they die].

Tantalan Planets 	
The Tantalans have no specific type of planet that they colonize, but specifically try to protect the ecology system of whatever planet that they newly colonize and try to return any planets that they have assimilated back to their original ecological state and build only six large cities spaced equidistantly across the surface of the planet and will even tear down any existing infra-structure [although they will preserve any buildings or monuments of historical significance] to return a planet to a more pristine state and use genetic engineering to re-introduce any extinct species.
