Description
OK, so all of these guys are from the videogame "Ascendancy", which contains a whole slew of different alien races to play as. It's really one of those old-timey looking games, but here they are!----
PSA: If ya wanna go to space, NEVER take the "Planet of Hats" logic with you. Aka don't think that every member of a race is going to think exactly the same. They are individually thinking people like you and I, so "Planet of Hats" simply doesn't exist for those races. Because there is DEFINITELY bound to be someone around to prove you wrong! Aka an altruistic Reptoid, a dumb, ditzy Grey, or an evil, sociopathic Nordic. They can and do happen, so keep an open mind, and safe travels!

The Govorom - They are a species of anenome-like aliens who have one of the most important roles in the galactic community. One of the things they are best known for is the ability to nurture life on other planets. They've first done this on their own desert home planet, transforming it into a biodiverse paradise. Now these guys have been around for BILLIONS of years, and have ever since then established a space colony which contains the DNA of just about every sapient alien race that has existed in this galaxy. Greys, Reptoids, Humans...all of them have been visited by the Govorom, and have since then been genetically archived. The whole point of it being that in case something ever extinguishes them from existence, they have a second chance to start fresh. Even the most belligerent of alien races know, DO NOT screw with them. Because if they attack the Govorom DNA Archive, there will be no trace left of them at all to come back from should something ever happen to them. Ever since the Archive's Inception, many, MANY races have put in high efforts to protect it, and the Govorom race, at all costs.
The Nimbuloids - They are a race of small clouds and balls of bright blue gas floating in the atmospheres of gas giants. They move and interact with their environment by chemically attracting and repelling molecules in their environment, being able to manipulate just about anything down to even a molecular level. So, THEY are best known for being extraordinary builders and engineers. Having such an innate understanding of subatomic physics, they can build their ships to be almost impossibly good at building ships and spacecrafts. In other words, making them some of the best engineers in the galaxy.
The Snovemdomas - These guys may look like big and tough mammoths to us, and it's easy to see why. They're actually pack hunters as big as bears, and use quick moving and their clawed trunks to bring down much larger creatures as a team. The thing is they actually evolved from a high-gravity planet, and have thus evolved bodies that are strong, but light. Their bones being formed from a honeycomb lattice that are hollow, but damn near unbreakable. They are best known for making some of the most indestructible ships in the galaxy. Durable to a LOT of space menaces (i.e. Nebula emission heat, black hole Hawking Radiation, star heat, supernova). That's right....they built a ship that can survive a SUPERNOVA. Right alongside the Nimbuloids, people are quick to hire Snovemdoma engineers.
The Marmosians - They are a race of giant bugs that evolved from a hot, arid world orbiting close to its sun. And they may actually look physically imposing but ehm...they're actually not. They've learned that using a cocktail of specially developed pheromones, they can basically mind control aliens into unwittingly doing their bidding by screwing with their emotional states. This makes them able to set up territory right in the middle of otherwise dangerous ground by simply manipulating the local animals or hostile natives into being OK with them. Should an enemy try to screw with their planets, they simply covertly send a few Marmosians over to board onto their ships, release the pheromones, and BAM. The war pretty much stops in its tracks as the Marmosians just sit right there and let the cocktail do its job. Sometimes using specially developed drugs to enhance its effect in radius, strength and versatility. While most races REALLY don't like the idea of a whole race of aliens being good at what is basically mind control, this ability has actually saved the lives of other alien races many times in the past, as a race of omnicidal or conqueror-type aliens can basically be cowed into passiveness with enough exposure to it.
The Fludrentri - They are a species of red, goo-like organisms made up of a polymerized fluid. Their bodies are able to recover from just about any injury unless their entire body is disrupted at once. What's more, is that they can manipulate the solidity of their bodies, and actually be able to manipulate their environment or grab onto things this way. Thus, one of the things the Fludentri are most famous for is being a warlike species. Granted, not all Fludentri are fighters, but their military forces tend to be much more hardier and longer-lasting due to them being able to survive a LOT of injuries. Whether for espionage, assassination, front-line fighting, they do it because they know that most of the time, they make it out unscathed.

At least you made the govorom not resemble a naked lady like the image in the game did. That was always annoying to me, I thought that detracted from it.

I totally did too, which is why I thought I could at least portray them as looking like aliens. Still why not take a look at 's stuff? He's got some pretty good alien drawings. And he's even got one of the Frutmaka!
