some idea for alien civlizations-
Karn-Dre
the Karn-Dre are, by most accounts, a rather barbaic people, ingageing in a great deal of the "seedier" activities, including piracy, and slavery, sometimes even with the official sanction of the goverment, an oligarchy, plantes are very much held as "fiefs", with the ruler of each planet haveing say in a grand chamber decideing the fate of their empire...
in apperence, they are of a rather slender build, and look, genrlly, like a cross between a human, being bipedal,a nd laceinkg a tail, a lizard, having the scales, and claws of it, and a bird, haveing a rather fearsome looking beak (though note that dose not mean the head in total bears a resemblen to a ird
)
they are of a techniological level comparabel to humans, and are -generally- of friendlly relations to all species, though offical policy dose not stop indipendent raiders, and slavers from -attempting- to 'do buisness' in human, and opther species territiories
-----------------------------------------------
Mern
the Mern are nbasically a conglomerate of trades- an example of what unbridled free enterprise dose to a civilization, the Mern have a small upper class basically repressing a huge majority of worker- consumers, generall peaceful, recent Human expansion, and influnces on the surrounding civlization have made thsoe civilzation more hesitant to do buissness witha people at odds with the moral ideals of the ever militartistic, ever expanding "Imperium Humanorum" tyhis has caused, at least in the opinion of the mern, a great deal of stirfe between them- though Humans, generally give little thought to the mern, as few products make thier way into human space, as trade embargos exist as a result of the harsh repression of the working class by the Mern upperclass...
a stout race, rather batlike in facial apperence, the mern have two arms, but four legs as wedll, a rather weak race physically, trade relations have brought them a great deal of techonolgy, and ship wise they are a formidible race
-----------------------------------------------
Operincitalmundi
the Operincetalmundi are a race that si secretive in the extreme, confined to a back boen of a few denslly populated worlds, a few back water out posts, there is evidence that they once had a large influence, covering a great deal of the sector- *possible* artifacts of thier cultue has been found even in the Human home system, though on exactly what planets, is, if confiermed that they are artificat from the "mundi" as they are often called by other races, is classified...
the 'Mundi" are a rather dratic departure from the "average alien", being rather then Mamillian, Avian, Reptiallin, or amphibian, a sort of amaglimation between isectiod, and reptile, giveing a rather shocking aperrence, bearing an interesting resemblen to the generaic 'alien" that pervaded late 20th, and the early 21st century human media....
the cultureal aspects opf the mundi are that tehy hold in great distaste the use of artificial intelliegence, but no one for sure knows why... like the karn-Dre, slavery is an active aspect of Mundi socity, though basic rights for the slaves are garunteed, almost making them into a more "forced indentured servitude", though sacrifice, upon large "pyramids", remisint perhaps of mesoamerican temples in soem aspects i snoted, at least on the outpost worlds, as yet, no one has been to a mundi "core world', and in all actuallity the reports of slavery are unofficial, though some Mundi sorces have made allusions to it in diplomatic talks
