List of Sentient Species

Many different species call the Galaxy home in addition to humans, and each of these have different cultures, motivations, histories and religions that set them apart from one another. Many took evolutionary paths that are different to what was experienced here on Earth. Some are vaguely familiar to us.

This page is broken down into two categories - before and after the Tenth Galactic War. Prior to the Tenth Galactic War, almost all species known fell into either Senate or Constellation Space and the Frontier was not recognized as a separate territory and only treated as a dividing line. After the Senate War, the Gray Syndicate had arisen to claim power in a large portion of the Galaxy, the Senate's influence had shrunk and the Frontier was considered independent and neutral. Allegiances shifted due to events in the war as well, reshaping the political landscape of the Galaxy forever.

### Prior to the Tenth Galactic War

The Senate and the Constellation had divided the Galaxy into roughly equal portions with the Senate taking slightly more--claiming the Galactic Center--at the conclusion of the Eighth Galactic War. This was to prevent further bloodshed between the two political titans and to establish some form of boundary as neither side wanted to risk open war after the chaos of their conflict. Both sides attempted to pressgang any spacefaring civilization they found into their service, but occasionally a species would refuse. These small pockets of independence were usually worn down fairly quickly, although some civilizations persevered.

### After the Tenth Galactic War

Following the crushing defeat of the Senate at the hands of Edge and the Gray Syndicate, many former Senate species departed and joined the Gray Syndicate. This left the Senate grievously weakened and ripe for the picking by the Constellation. To avoid this, as it was feared that an Eleventh Galactic War would result, the Gray Syndicate called upon members of both the Senate and the Constellation to meet and sign a new set of treaties. This created the Frontier, granted the Gray Syndicate its own territory, protected the Senate against further attacks from either party and allowed some of the species that had formerly been pushed into the Constellation to settle in the Frontier as neutral parties. During this time, the Verges were officially declared neutral as well, but this point was rendered somewhat moot by the fact that neither side wanted to cut through the other's territory to reach the opposite Verges and going around the entire perimeter of the Galaxy was a ridiculous detour.

### Extinct or Unknown Species

There are numerous traces left behind in the Galaxy of highly advanced empires that came before the current population. There are also simply unknowns - derelict ships or artifacts that are too recent to belong to the empires of historical antiquity - and foreign species with little to no information.

#### Extinct Species

* Minra
* Old Race
* Primarchs
* Qandamir
* Ragans
* Species-37
* Species-52
* Species-99
* Tsimi
* Viusti
* Zetans

#### Unknown Species

* Ildossa (Megatans)
* The Silent Ones

### Other Species

There are a few sentient species that don't fit neatly into any category at all. These are often unknowable, even with the knowledge of untold millions of years, and some defy the definition of "life" in general.

#### Artificially Created Species

* Anu'bai
* Gatekeepers
* Progenitors
* Sentinels

#### Unknowable Species

* Kelthos
* Qaplatians
* Xiiro's Species
