Katyten

The Katyten originate from the planet Ugpalo, and they are famous throughout the galaxy for their culinary skills. The most popular restaurant in the GSF is the Fat Squwarma, where there is an extensive waiting list; many an affluent parent has booked a table as soon as they know that they are expecting in anticipation of an eighteenth birthday celebration.

The most popular dish at the Fat Squwarma is the Squwarma that the restaurant is named after. Every person asked says that the dish tastes different to what the next person claims. When asked, the head chef states that it is just a testament to his skill to be able to satisfy so many customers with what they most desire, which raises the question of whether the Squwarma actually tastes of anything at all. The Squwarma is on found on Ugpalo and the hunting is heavily regulated, with only Katyten licensed to hunt the beast.

K'Ibor

The K’Ibor are firm believers in the improvement by cybernetic augmentation. Most have replaced their original biological sense with cybernetics, and all are wirelessly connected to the galactic network. While not quite ready to do away with their organic bodies entirely, many will happily use varying excuses to replace a biological limb. Broken humerus? Replace the entire arm. Shattered pelvis? Replace the entire lower body.

Cybernetic alteration is closely regulated within the GSF, which has led to a massive black market on the K’Ibor home world of Avtik.

Koalan

The Koalans are a nomadic, fox-like species that originated from the planet Roka.

Roka was made uninhabitable not long after the Koalans made their way out into the wider galaxy. The facts have been lost to the mists of time, but the descendants of those first pioneers hold the belief that the discovery of life outside their own solar system drove a number of radical fundamentalist religious groups to start an all-out nuclear war. Those that survived fled the planet and have been travelling the galaxy ever since, never settling down on a new world and only ever leaving their ships to trade.

The Koalans are a short-statured species, with the tallest on record being just shy of one metre tall.

Kord

The Kord originate from the industrial planet of Gemi and are the most prolific ship builders in the GSF; they are responsible for the design of most Space Corps ships.

Although relative latecomers to interstellar community, their engineering skill and extensive ship yards saw them fast tracked into the GSF not long after its formation and within a decade they had standardised ship design throughout the GSF and Space Corps. The Kord have the second highest proportion of engineers within the Space Corps; second only to Humans.

Most Kord prefer to spend their time in overalls or jump suits, modifying something that was perfectly fine the way it was; really, who really needs a sonic spoon or a hydro fork?

ADDENDUM: The Kord now have the most engineers within the Space Corps since the Human Extinction Event.
