Aloin

The Aloin were once a ward species of the Scryve Empire, of which they considered themselves peaceful members. The Aloin were native to the Zeta Domos system, and they liked to keep to themselves. Their entire civilization lived inside an enormous tower until it was knocked over in the Xraki rebellion, wiping them out. At the time the Aloin were confused who was even attacking them due to the Xraki's use of Scryve ships.

Atheti

The Atheti were a pre-spaceflight civilization from Gamma Ymir I, that were wiped out by a Drenkend cloning pod deployment only a few decades ago. Their newspapers seemed to have reported on the event.

Aoowls

The Aoowls were a species native to the Barr G system that went to war with the Scryve. They were wiped out via Pinthi deployment. However, they notably came close to finding a cure for the infection. Their planet, Rekabdan, is patrolled by many Scryve security drones.

Ban'canalandan

The Ban'canalandan were a species native to Gamma Lewis II, they had attempted to defy the Scryve but were wiped out. Their bodies stood frozen in place, they seemed to be made of some soft stonelike material. Each body had a plaque attached to the, put their by the Scryve.

The Danish

The Danish are a species that resemble gerbils and are found in a city on Beta Zapoki A. They know about the Scryve but prefer to keep to themselves, and are willing to bribe others to keep their location secret.

Dds

The Dds were a species native to Alpha Aspis A IV that met the Scryve in 3412 ME. Some time after this they all became ill. According to a monument left by the Scryve on their world, the Scryve tried everything they could to save the Dds but failed. The Scryve supposedly set up the monument to remember their friends.

Fetz

The Fetz were a species that originated on the same planet as the Umberzock. They were a member of the Faction of Eight at the time of the Scryve's entry. The Librarian was not entirely convinced they were a different race from the Umberzock.

Hrrrmmm

The Hrrrmmm were an engineered speicies of unknown origins who were a member of the Faction of Eight at the time of the Scryve's entry. They arrived from some other area of space but no record of their creators exists.

Ktang

A race of warriors from Iota Boklos III. They were seemingly wiped out after encountering aliens presumed to be the Phamysht.

Ooros

The Ooros were one of the two species that entered the Faction of Eight after the Urpox had, and were the last member who had joined before the Scryve had. According to the Urpox they were, "nothing special" and not very memorable. Their language had a lot of double vowels, so talking to them was quite soothing.

However according to The Librarian, they were considered a hated species, even among other members of the faction. They were self-carnivorous, and used exotic healing techniques to repair the damage they inflicted on themselves. No record of their natural appearance survives, the only record is of the mass of wounds that covered their bodies.
