Delarplex

Delarplex are a race made up of androids, which were of a race like humans. Living in a solar system call Hydronec, their technology is quite advanced.

Around a thousand years ago, a plague spread throughout the Delarplex population. The plague caused their reproductive system to deteriorate. Soon, they were unable to reproduce. In time, their population started decreasing. To fight the death of their race, they developed a huge computer system to store the minds of their people whom are about to die, hoping one day to find a cure. One day, a brilliant young scientist named Belixro Mored Quxon Keldaw, developed an robotic mobile system that allows their people to store each mind into their own mobile system to act as individuals.

Basically, the robotic mobile system could be any shape and size. But the Delarplexes have decided on a 7' humanoid to resemble what they are before. Also the humanoid shape allowed them to accomplish tasks that only a humanoid could perform.

Over century of using the androids, the Delarplex have lost their feelings and emotions. All they ever think about is how to advance their race. They are especially interested at how to reproduce themselves genetically with living body tissues.

Since Delarplexes are in their android form, they are still unable to reproduce. They can create no new generations. While this is so, they would not die, for they are androids. When a Delarplex is almost killed in a combat situation, it can simply transmit its memory back to the main computer on their planet. Then the main computer could reprogram another android with the memory data received.

The main computer has another safety measure. If the android was destroyed in combat and was unable to transmit its memory in time, the main computer can create an android based on its back-up data. However, the memory data will contain only information since the last backup.

With these safety precautions, the Delarplex population stays constant with time.

Jadiac

Jadiac is apparently a very mysterious race. No one knows where they came from, or knows their past. Their gigantic vessel simply appeared in the Earth's solar system one day. However, they seem friendly and beneficial to the Earthlings. Most people think they are space travelers that no longer have a home.

Even today, no one has been onboard their massive vessel. Nor has anyone seen their flesh. They are always enclosed in a full-body armor suit. Some people think they are just androids.

Space Zombies

During the twentieth century zombies were depicted as undead creatures who kill and devour human beings. Space Zombies is the name given to an alien creature race, on the planet Saltar, by human refugees. Space Zombies are found mostly in the dense jungle of Saltar. These aliens eat all moving lifeforms in sight, except each other. Although intelligent, their only urge is to hunt and eat. On Saltar, a number of explorers were found eaten by these alien creatures, hence the name Space Zombies.

Space Zombies travels in-groups of threes. Not much scientific study has been done on these creatures. However, the humans are in the process of capturing them for research purposes. Since it is relatively dangerous, the humans are slow at attaining living species.

Yaules

Unknown to the dwarves, another race lives on the planet Coloqudo. Deep in the oceans, this race, called Yaules, has been living on Coloqudo for millions of years. The history of Yaules has long been forgotten through time. Average life span of a Yaules is fifty-four hundred years. Few have the strength and the endurance to keep up with the past; to remember.

The biological features of the Yaules are similar to the humans. Except they are, in a way, superior because they have the ability to live underwater. Like human, they breath oxygen. Their bodies are coated with a thin layer of clear slime. On the side of their neck are streamlined gills. The gills are used to extract air from the ocean. Yaules can dive down to a hundred feet of water without assistance. Further down, under water pressure, the air is un-breathable.

There are ten underwater cities all over coloqudo. Each has the capacity for four million citizens. The underwater cities are encased in a hard clear dome to stablize the water pressure for breathing. The capital, Yayee, is directly under the island of Wanto. Wanto is Yaules' first line of surveillance; any extraterrestrial beings are bound to explore Wanto first. Yaules respect the dwarves. Wanto is sacred ground; the only dry land on the planet. Plus, Yaules like the water and they have no intention of alarming the small tribe of Gaundes.

The Yaules society is simple, yet complicated. The ruling king and queen presides over the empire while their children govern the underwater cities. The Yaules are constantly under political turmoil. The children of the king and queen fight over the throne, the bishops conspire for power, and the citizens fight for survival. It is hard to find a Yaules politically unbiased. In addition, the battles keep the population in balance; Yaules hardly ever dies of old age.

Over the past millenniums, the Yaules have developed technology far more useful to other races. Their underwater vessel is capable of traveling through any atmosphere and far and deep into space. In the last century, they have sent an expedition into space. However, they have lost contact with the expedition through several changes in political power.
