Kitat
An alien race of wealth-obsessed merchants, the fish-like Kitat have castes that are based on whether they have been engineered to survive on land, water, or both, based on ancient divides in their culture. Genetic engineering is now a taboo after how it fractured and nearly destroyed their culture. They now have an oligarchical federation.
The Kitat are clannish, and Value family very strongly. But those who are not part of their clan, caste, or collegiate body are open for exploitation, and the Kitat are noted for being schemers and con artists.
They are also incredible orators, fast-talkers, and known for their poetry.

Nuhenni
A race of arboreal sentients, the Nuhenni have seven articulated limbs for running, jumping, and climbing with incredible agility. The Nuhenni are feathered, and vaguely bird-like, but their anatomy doesn't fit any terrestrial model of life very well.
The Nuhenni were still in a bronze age society when they were discovered by human explorers and raised to spacefaring technology in a couple of generations; this has led them to have many odd, backwards-seeiming customs.

Ubul
A race of small, Axlotl-like aliens that most other races find cute, the Ubul are caught in a series of perpetual holy wars over esoteric they have little interest in explaining to outsiders.

breathes in air and underwater
Vath
The Vath are a race with a highly elaborate caste system, and an obsession with cybernetic enhancement: especially cognitive enhancements. Thye have a strict caste and collegiate system that pigeonholes members of the society into their "ideal" role (as judged by the needs of society and not the individual.) Extremely rare, only a small dilomatic caste is usually permitted to explore space. Outliers and deviant Vath are usually the only kind you will find on the Frontier.
+1 INT, -1 DEX, -1 Base Saving

Yoc
A furry humanoid species with square, muzzled faces and leathery noses, keen, bat-like ears, and a tail. Tend to be blue, Grey, or black.
Most Yoc live within their own xenophobic empire that keeps its borders closed. Most encountered outside of Yoc-space are outcasts and wanderers whose punishment for a crime is to explore space and then return with chronicles, that are valued and assessed against a debt. They cannot return to Yoc society until they have documented enough.
You are all at least mildly telepathic, and have a strong pack mentality. Fiercely loyal to friends.
