 The Alari is a human-like species of single gendered hermaphroditic aliens. They look remarkably human-like, almost passing for a handsome woman or feminine man.  They tend to be tall, around 6' with subtle differences in the ears, eyes, and nose the give them a somewhat uncanny elfin features.  They are extremely long lived with most living more than a century and some living close to two centuries.
 The Alari are a politically powerful race, being one of the longest space faring races.  They are generally polite and civil with a society that is inclusive to all races, not just their own.  However they are shrewd negotiators and not above blackmail, sabotage, and brutal action in they deem necessary.
 Alari society is marked with a great focus on personal excellence and communal unity.  "Whatever you do, strive to be the best" is a common principal.  However this leads to some Alari becoming quite notorious when turning to life or crime or violence.  Alari do not have traditional family structures.  Reproduction is controlled, with birth being illegal without government approval.  Children are raised communally without ever knowing their biological parents or siblings.  Most Alari find the concept of family a bit taboo, with a growing group of radicals push for reproductive rights.  The whole thing is a bit of a sore spot compared to the rest of the universes cavalier attitude on reproduction.  Alari society is somewhat communistic, with min and max incomes capped.  This leads to many Alari leaving their core worlds to the fringes where they are free to pursue their own fortunes unhindered, but also giving up the safety and security of the core worlds.

 # Drax
 The Drax are a somewhat reptilian (think dragonborn) race and the most significant non-Thebus race in the galaxy.  The are powerful warriors and the biggest combined known military.  They are a sexual dimorphic race, with males being roughly humanoid in shape and size, but females being up to 5-10x in size and more slumped and dragon-looking.  Males far outnumber females, with females taking a matriarchal position in society.
+Drax are born in clutches of eggs.  The all start male, but the largest of the clutch will become female if no other females are present.  Males will often develop sexual relationships with each other.  Males and females do not traditionally have relationships due to class difference.
 Drax are heavily motivated by honor and conquest in the name of their matriarch.  They worship the matriarchs with a semi-religious zeal.  The have a long history of tribal infighting, but intervention from the Alari unified them into a single fighting force with the Alari comfortably holding the reigns.

 # Voraskan
 The Voraskan are large arachnid looking creatures.  They are hive based, but have many breeders rather than a single queen.  They are voracious eaters and combatants.  Centuries ago they were a monstrous scourge on the galaxy, invading and consuming entire worlds.  But after a terrible disease engineered by the Sophons devastated their populations, the Alari offered a cure in exchange for peace.  The universe discovered that the Voraskan were quite intelligent.  No longer the galactic threat they once were, you can now find Voraskan wandering the universe.
 Voraskan culture honors the consumption of the dead.  By eating the dead, they give strength and live on in the consumer.  The Voraskan are also renown for their sense of humor.  This humor tends to center around their barely contained instinct to kill and consume those around them, which humans for some reason find off-putting, but the rest of the galaxy find hilarious.  The Voraskan do not feel pain.  In fact they seem to only feel joy and hunger.
