Argon

Argons originate from the planet Lohi in the alpha-quadrant. They are a reptilian species with green scales and dark yellow eyes.

Being a dextro-protein based species, Argons cannot eat the same foods as most of the rest of the galaxy.

The ozone layer around Lohi is slightly thicker than the galactic average, which has resulted in the Argons having a higher sensitivity to ultra-violet radiation than most species.

Allcson

The Allcson are a reptilian species from the planet Narrasti, a planet covered in equal wetland and desert regions across the surface, and approximately 50% water.

Not the first reptilian species encountered by humanity, they had already become trade partners with a number of future GTU and GSF species. As a result the Allcson were one of the original species to be involved in the GTU and the GSF.

One of the most notable Allcson in recent history was Admiral Kuula, who was in command of the 6^th Fleet during the Akiran War. The 6^th Fleet were one of the front line offensive fleets and were instrumental in a number of major campaigns that helped turn the tide of the war. During the war Kuula lost his left arm, leg and eye when his command ship, the SCS Ben Nevis, was disabled during the Urodela campaign. Although Kuula accepted the cybernetic replacement limbs, he outright refused a replacement eye and opted to wear an eye-patch. This led his crew to believe that the Admiral had a sixth sense because he appeared to be able to “see” on his blind-side, which a number of cadets found to their chagrin.

Algol

Originating from the wetland planet of Damci, the Algol are the only sentient and truly amorphous species in the known galaxy.

When interacting with the wider galactic community, the Algol will assume an appropriate shape, be it humanoid or otherwise, in an effort to blend in. The most popular shape the Algol assume is that of the Alexans as the Alexan Science Foundation were the first species to encounter the Algol when they first set forth from their native system. The Algol can morph into any shape with the same volume, which has led to some amusing incidents, such as the time an Algol attempted to morph into the shape of a Jark during a diplomatic function; the Algol in question managed to morph perfectly, only they were half the size of the average Jark child. Although the Algol try their best to blend in with non-amorphous species, this is only partially achieved as they cannot alter their colour. Green is the most common Algol colour, but they do come in a variety of colours and hues.

Algol reproduction is a form of self-sacrifice as during mating, a pair of Algol will merge and gradually separate parts of their bodies to form a third. The resulting will grow as it matures, but the parents are never able to replace their lost mass. This has led to instances where rather sexually active Algol parents are significantly smaller than their many off-spring, as a result, most Algol only reproduce twice. An Algol can have intimate relations with other species, but they cannot reproduce. Although an entirely asexual species, they will assume the form and nature, of the most compatible gender for their non-Algol partner.

Argalian

Argalians are native to the planet Argalia, a planet not unlike Earth, with approximately 75% of the surface covered in water.

Although Argalians are mammals, the more politically incorrect regions of the galaxy, and children, tend to refer to them as the jellyfish heads. Their skulls are translucent, showing the brain and top of the spinal cord; the rest of the body is semi-translucent, showing visible transparency when the skin is stretched, such as during pregnancy. Argalian skin comes in various shades of pink, and has a general sheen to it, although the skin is not oily or rubbery in any way. Rather than a skeleton made from bone, Argalians have a cartilage skeleton which also accounts for their great flexibility.

In the place of head hair, the Argalians have flexible tentacles that wrap around the skull. These can be moved independently by the Argalian, and were once used as a defence mechanism during the species early development; many Argalian children have been known to use their head tentacles in this manner when being raised in mixed-species environments.
