SO...MANY...ET'S....at first you thought you were alone in the galaxy. Now its too crowded. XD

Anyway, quite a selection today, all from the game Ascendancy, so let's check 'em out.

------

PSA: In Eccentrix-Verse canon, all living beings have ki/life energy. They can draw it out to produce different abilities. Most of the time, it's something relatively easy like telepathy/telekinesis. Although some alien races are capable of doing some pretty spectacular stuff with it!

------

The Chamachies - The Chamachies are pretty easy to figure out. Their schtick is that they've produced some of THE best technological researchers and inventors the galaxy can find. Literally decades ahead of many races in their galactic neighborhood. As it turns out, this was spurred by a super-advanced alien vessel which had crashed into their home planet in the recent past. The aliens on board warned them that a convergence of "Star Lanes" may very well destroy their planet some time in the future. This is the event that sparked an interest in space exploration, and discover how to travel among the stars. Especially something known as the "Star Lane Phenomena", which involves wormholes or sumshit like that. Mainly the goal is to either relocate their race or possibly avert the disaster altogether!

Anyway, the Chamachies have produced some great researchers, which have been able to discover major breakthroughs under duress. Stress tends to heighten their abilities, whatever they may be. And THIS is basically what fueled such a huge surge of technological advancement. Basically knowing it'll happen but not knowing when, they pretty much went into overdrive mode and advanced unbelievably. Making them REALLY close to figuring out that answer.

The Ungooma - These guys are good at mind control. And they're microscopic. Sooo...

OK! The Ungooma were a race of microscopic brain parasites which used to take control of their hosts' minds to serve their own needs. That used to be their only method for sentience. But later on down the line, they became sentient on their own terms. While they can no longer take over a host, they can conglomerate together by the trillions and form a massive, powerful hive mind. With the power they accumulate, many Ungooma collectives can group together and use their strength altogether to temporarily mind-control a population of people, that can number from the thousands, to millions, and even BILLIONS. The said victims of their mind control having their minds wiped if they're overly aggressive. They do this because the Ungooma's military might is actually sub-par in comparison to their neighbors, but only because they often don't need to use weapons when they can simply mind-wipe a population of aggressive people, and have them fight against other aggressors. It's surprising how effective it is.

The Kambuchka - These guys look like alien ham sandwiches. They look funny because they're actually gas-giant aliens!

They feel atomic vibrations of their surroundings to know things. They can't move very fast, but they CAN detect living beings that are far away, which helps them find food or avoid predators. And with this same ability, they've evolved the ability to detect sentient life from across space! This makes them aware of just about anything going on in AND out of their solar system. They don't have any limbs or hands, so to compensate, they have much larger stores of ki than usual, since they use it for pretty much everything. They manifest it as telekinesis to teleport, grab things, or build ships to leave their home planet with. They're also good telepaths, being able to easily communicate with other races with telepathy since they don't exactly have much in the way of biology that could feasibly produce vocal communication.

The Baliflids - The terragen (from Earth) species known as the Balifids are right next to the Ungooma in terms of being able to avoid battles they can't fight very well. In this case, they spend their energy/ki using an ability that's made them known as one of the galaxy's best diplomat races: they can tranquilize aggresive races. Absolutely no exceptions. Whether it's the Minions, Shevar, Frutmaka, Fludentri....nothing is spared from their influence. In their eyes, when they encounter a Balifid, and sees it just standing there giving it a playful stare...the said aggressor almost invariably doesn't feel like attacking them anymore. Together with the Ungooma, which can use that opportunity to mind-wipe them to make them forget why they attacked. They make some of the best aggressive-race tranquilizers and are pretty high in demand from the Galactic Community as Peacekeepers. Emphasis on Peace.

Many Baliflids are raised in a very light-hearted environment. Unlike many other races, they are lead by, raised by, and work alongside by fellows who simply like to goof around. Baliflids in general enjoy not having to take life as seriously as other people, because come ON. There's a whole Universe out there! Have FUN for chrissakes!

The Hanshaks - These guys are ANCIENT. They've gone through so many biological changes throughout the span of time that they've lived, which is probably about a billion years old at this point. Probably older. But they've seen a LOT at this point. The Hanshaks are a bit rarer than other races, but that's mostly because they reached their technological peak millions of years ago. A good portion of them decided to simply dismantle their cities and return to living with nature after so long, and they're dedicating to keeping it that way. Aside from a druidic cult that retains knowledge of their hyper-advanced technology, which they just use to travel around space in.

Hanshaks are naturally good at harnessing ki powers, and have discovered several good uses for it. Including a fusing technique that fuses two Hanshaks into one toroidal being that can produce a LOT of ki, and use it for mass-telepathy with multiple races at once. Or a ki technique which makes weapons of all sorts malfunction in the vicinity of their home planet, making it literally IMPOSSIBLE to wage war of any sort there. The Hanshak home planet is a safe haven for almost any race. Team Milky Way. THIS is the direction you should strive for.

The Minions - They used to be an Always Chaotic Evil Race. This was because they were created by some extragalactic master race who built these guys in an effort to destroy all sentient life in the galaxy and prepare it for the return of their masters. Eons ago, these guys were feared as one of the most powerful armies the galaxy has seen. Able to dominate any being in unarmed combat. Made of nanotechnological, self-maintaining tech that can assimilate other life forms to keep themselves powered up. Built for strength and speed. They used to be some of the best planetary invaders EVER, and back in the day, no race could stand up to them.

Until guys like the Hanshaks, Balifids, Ungooma happened. They were able to kick their asses. Repeatedly. WITH PEACE. Making entire Minion armies forget what they were doing. Making them act as un-robotlike as possible, absolutely destroying their original directives. Keeping this up until literally half of the entire Minion population is entirely benevolent, and thanks to the Baliflids, are pretty fun to be around. Nice job guys! Keep up the good work. ^^
