Data on the Mazbak Empire and its artifacts havebecome the most coveted archeological treasures acrossISCO space.

Legends of the oldest races tell us that 200,000 yearsbefore the advent of humanity a humanoid race built anempire that spanned a thousand light years.

As the Mazbak expanded and built their vast cities ofglass and steel they became the friends and teachers tohundreds of Alien Races as they uplifted them from theirprimitive beginnings. Then the Mazbak met the Akitee, atruly Alien life form with no consideration for other life forms.

The war with the Akitee crossed hundreds of light yearsand the results were terrifying. Worlds were sterilized,continents shattered and suns destabilized. The result wasthe utter obliteration of the Akitee and the Mazbak as well asmany other races.

What remains in 2448 are memories and fragments ofthis once proud race.

The Akitee rose from an insect like ancestor on a lighthot world. Somewhere a mutation occurred that gave thispredatory species intelligence. In a hundred thousand yearsthey learned cooperation and headed for the stars.

After a golden age of expansion and disposing of lowerlife forms the Akitee crossed the path of the Mazbak. Theysimply disposed of Mazbak colonies.

The Mazbak stunned the Akitee with the violence thatwas returned. The conflict became a mutual war of completeannihilation. There was no mutual ground for communica-tion between the two races. The Mazbak sterilized everyworld where there were Akitee Nests. The Akitee learned toNova Suns as their enemy released a Bio-Specific plagueacross a thousand worlds.

The average Akitee is highly Psionic. They can be themaster of mental illusion and telepathy. Only 20% of the linepossessed other talents like mind control and pyrokinesis.This made them formidable in close battle.

The Trebottl are often called the disposable StarflightCulture by archeologists that study their artifacts.

This odd humanoid species pushed into space a littleover 20,000 years ago and left no colonial sites.

The Trebottl artifacts are known from a handful ofstarship artifacts left in asteroid belts and ORT clouds. Theseship fragments are literally trees that have been adapted forspaceflight. These massive shells were able to hold crewand cargo as they jumped between stars. Another class ofship, barrel like in structure, is believed to be a harvester thatcollected ice or minerals. Ships Engines and Stardrives werecompletely biological in nature.

It is assumed that a biological or botanical plagueripped across Trebottle space and they were unable to stopit. Recent research speculates their star may have goneNova due to the scorched exterior of one smaller craft foundand the several hundred individuals that were trapped in it.

Krelvins hope to reconstitute the race from frozen DNA.

Artesee

A half million years before mankind and ISCO space arace of Lemur like creatures crossed the galaxy and fadedinto history. These are the Artesee, a tiny Alien Race withastonishing engineering skills.

Sadly, the only fragments left of the Artesee culture areceramic plates that decorated their mile high towers andindustrial centers. After 490,000+ years even these are hardto find and require major excavation.

From these plates a culturally rich race takes light, asmall but diligent species that perfected flight and headed forthe stars in great spherical ships. Scenes show diversehome life, robotics, music, crafts and games being played.Oddly no other Alien races were shown alongside the Arteseeand that alone may indicate a high degree of Xenophobia.

Artifacts have been located at the far corners of ISCOspace so it is assumed the race was very wide ranged.Another interesting fact associated with the Artesee is a layerof Iridium dust associated with their sites.

Humanity’s first contact with the Gosto showed themwhat could happen when war, religion, and poverty de-stroyed a culture and people.

Near humanoid, the Gosto reached a technologicallevel equivalent to Earth's 20th century. At that time a fewyears of famine created an impoverished under class thatdemanded food from an already weak government. Claim-ing technology was the cause, they began to smash theirprogress with a religious fury. Cities became armed campsand finally the entire system collapsed back to Warlords anda near feudal economy. Disease finished the system and putthe Gosto back into a dark age where ignorance is fashion-able.

ISCO hopes to remedy this world and put them back onthe right track if only they would stop burning the psycholo-gists sent to do the job.

An orbital station has been established to quarantinethis world until a new renaissance can be started and thepeople can re-enter a technological age.

The rich culture and strong family life of the Nalaniwould be a great addition to ISCO. Unfortunately their loveof politics and their precarious balance on the brink of warhas caused Nogulaa to be quarantined.

With 104 feuding states (38 Governmental types) and300 smaller client states, the map of their world is a crazypatchwork of alliances, friends and enemies. Compoundingthe problem is a 1950's Earth equivalent technology andNuclear Weapons.

Three of the nations have achieved space flight and arebuilding several research and weapon platforms.

The ICL maintains stealth craft for monitoring Nogulaaand a base has been built on the dark side of one of their 3moons. Psychologists have advised ISCO to avoid contactthat could start a Nuclear Holocaust, but continue their covertplan to create a United Nations to stabilize the situation.They hope this planet will survive its nuclear era as Earth didor hope to pick up the pieces if they fail.

HukHukHukHukHuk

This race of primitive cannibalistic tribesmen wouldhave been ignored except for the fact of a survey shuttlecrash and the discovery they were 99% human in DNAcomposition.

Resembling the Amazonian natives of Earth's 20thcentury, this group has apparently been seeded to thistropical world sometime in long past millennia. The seedingof other races is a given fact but the Huk language is unlikeany of its terrestrial counterparts.

Huk life is centered around a fort like village and a ringof farm land. Women farm and Men hunt and wage war onneighboring villages. Captives of these little wars are ran-somed for food or eaten.

An orbital station monitors this society and keeps out-side contact away. As this is a human colony, ISCO believesit has the right to help the Huk regain their human heritage.The first problem they see it contact, education, and notlanding in the stew pot.

The Near Human Parne moved into their Feudal eraand promptly stayed there. With their religion backing thesystem, the lords entrenched themselves in custom andcreated an amazingly stable society.

Nothing changed for more then a millennia until theadvent if man.

A shuttle crash and early contact by an exploration teamleft the Parne are fully aware of space and the worlds aroundthem. They are picking the technology that best fits into theirsystem of government.

Psychologists call the Parne stagnate but healthy, a farkinder and more gentle people then humans in their sameperiod of time. Because of this ISCO hopes to gently bringthem into the best of the 25th century while making a minimalnumber of modifications on their society.

The Lord Emperor of the Parne has granted the ICLland in the Northern Tundras and the ability to set up anembassy office at the royal palace.

ISCO was 30 years too late to stop the Grathn fromblowing each other back into a dark age.

Originally with two superpowers and several 'between'states, the Humanoid Grathn developed a twentieth centurytechnology and Nuclear Weapons. The missiles sat in theirsilos for 20 years before something triggered the conflict thatslagged a hundred cities and cultural centers.

The survivors decided they had enough war and subse-quently hung every politician, royalist, and member of theestablishment over the rank of civil servant. They thenvented their hatred on the Computers and Higher techequipment of the military.

The net result of all of this was a zero. The handful ofsurvivors were found grubbing an existence by gathering andraiding the still radioactive ruins.

With no choice ISCO has set up bases on Zamak andstarted health programs to save the survivors. The nativesstill mistrust ISCO's motives and the high tech equipment.

ISCO researchers first classified the builders as theyclassified the Army Roach Pests that sometimes took upresidence on starships. Given time and a second look, theydiscovered a highly intelligent race of alien life.

The builders were so unlike any of the other races ofISCO space that they were immediately quarantined and leftto develop.

Builders are industrious, creating vast cities that towera hundred feet in the air. Spanning buildings are ramps andgardens. Avenues of commerce dot he cities as well asbioluminescent lighting and use of the wheel.

Beyond that, these crab like creatures will not acknowl-edge researchers in any way or form. Humans are free towalk through a city and watch. Accidently damaging astructure is permitted.

Due to the small size of the population left on Arial,ISCO sees the possibility of a massive relocation operationto save this race.

Before this can be accomplished ISCO must first seedwildlife to another world before they attempt to transplant asmall number of natives.

The Granezii are now in their age of exploration, sailingtheir stormy seas and charting continents. Their technologyis an Earth equivalent to the 1490's with one striking differ-ence. The difference is flight. For all their weight and size,they are learning to fly. ISCO surveillance has spottedgliders and balloons as well as their first runway. Severalgreat telescopes have been spotted and unverified reportsshow very basic solid propellent rocketry is being attempted.Close survivance shows tracks are being laid for what maybe their first steam powered train.

Tebble is best described as a large world covered insteaming jungles and sluggish rivers.

The residing intelligence is the Nyrn, a humanoid spe-cies close to humanity in structure.

The Nyrn were master builders that created cities,castles and monolithic buildings of natural stone. Theyaqueduct fresh water in and composted waste for terracedgardens. Ceramics abounded as well as stained glass.

More than a thousand years ago the Nyrn simplystopped developing, building and running their society. Theirachievements abandoned, they walked back to the jungles tolive in small family bands.

Thinking this might be a medical problem, ISCO estab-lished a ground base and began its fruitless search for whythe Nyrnese just quit civilization. Just a few of the natives talkto ISCO personnel, telling them there is no reason to workwhen food is easy to find and life is just a step from Nyrtala,the paradise of the Gods.

Wichita was unique in climate and position ISCO space.It was the only local system rich in minerals and fuel. It alsohad a missive inhabitable planet.

Of its 18,000 mile circumference a mere 2000 miles ateach pole were perfectly habitable. The rest of the world wasa raging magnetic and wind storm the likes of which werenever seen.

Out in that trackless void are the legends of Geemer, aplant like race of creatures that are sleeping and waiting fora special time to return their planet to a botanical paradise.

Now with a human Corporate Colony at each pole thedreams of the Geemer have intensified among the Psionic ofthe 80,000 colonists. Many believe the Geemer are stillhiding from the Mazbak/Akitee war 200,000 years before.Linemen working for the Corp have reported finding stone-work in the deserts. The Meta-Star corporation refutes theseclaims and knows they will loose their ISCO lease of anintelligent species is found here.

The Garson's Green Colony was evacuated after com-ing under attack by a hostile spider like species. Their 6months under the Aphonop were a living hell.

More then 40 colonists vanished and were found live inholding pens in a mountain valley. After their bloody rescuethe hive opened its doors and began relentless attacks on the4000 colonists. At rescue only 1600 were taken away.

The Aphonop is a spider like species with the habits ofinsects and an amazing degree of intelligence. They canlearn and pass knowledge to others. Structure of the hive,depending on size is 25,000 workers, 3000 warriors, and ahandful of Males that attend the Queen and her egg layingsisters.

As ISCO began its observation, from orbit , it discoveredthe Aphonop farmed, fished, and conducted warfare againsttheir neighbors. Technology for these aliens remains at thelevel of Spear and fire use. It appears metal is now beingrefined and exterior structures are being built.

If ISCO didn't have enough problems on the WesternFrontier, the advent of the Dogo have added another front tothe expected upcoming conflict between Human and Hagonni.

These diminutive aliens are self centered and obnox-ious, leaving ISCO psychologists to wonder how they everblundered into space or gained the technology to build aStardrive.

Contact with the Dogo has been limited and hostile.Exploration craft have easily escaped their inferior technol-ogy.

The Dogo are firm believers in using brute force to buildwhat they need. Their ships have been described a lumber-ing monstrosities composed of iron using nuclear detona-tions for propulsion. A damaged shuttle retrieved by the ICLshows welded 'Tin Can' construction, tubes, wires, andnatural rubber-like seals. The most amazing part of the shipwas a simple Anti-Grav lift system far too advanced for therest of the ship.

OMRETHOMRETHOMRETHOMRETHOMRETH

As ISCO pondered the new hostiles on the NorthernFrontiers a second race showed its fangs both figurativelyand literally.

The Omreth can best be described as a humanoidversion of a Terrestrial Wolverine with an attitude to match.The ICL realized their first mistake in meeting this race wasto back off and give ground. Little did they realize the tenacityand psychology of this expansionistic race.

The Omreth are the ultimate end of the Nuclear Family.Extremely protective, they form large extended family groupsthat manage starships or starship groups. All is dedicated tothe survival of the family and finding a habitable world for thefamily to grow on. Omreth commerce only with other Omrethand consider humanity and its allies lower life forms onlyworthy of serving as slaves.

ISCO is lucky in the fact that the Omreth have only beenin space for a half century and their technology is nearly 200years outmoded and they refuse to steal higher tech.

Imprisoned on their own world, the Orban are now thefocus of several ICL covert operations. The Hagu invadedand added Brycinon to the Sphere of Prosperity. Suppres-sion of the local monarchy, and the installation of a Hagonnipuppet government, has done more to upset the Orban thanoppress them.

The Orbans were a progressive, peaceful people, readyto accept and adapt new technologies into their culture. Theheight of scientific achievement was their Bi-Phase FTLdrive. Only Hagonni prejudice and pride has kept them fromrecognizing the benefits of this new technology.

It is rumored that “rogue” Orbanian scientists are hardat work, finding a way to drive the Hagu and their Zankeesoldiers from their world.

Male Orban have fleshy “feelers” that grow from theirforeheads at puberty, but until then, both male and femaleOrban children are identical.

Caught behind the lines of the Hagonni Sphere ofProsperity, the Kartama live in fear of their very lives. A“servant” race under the Hagu, Kartama have been thrustfrom the 3th century into the 25th century unprepared.

On the whole, they have not adapted to the new waysimposed on them by the Hagu. Most believe the Hagu aredemons sent by their gods to punish them for their sins. A fewsee them for what they are: Invaders.

Kartamii are humanoid in appearance, skin coloringvaries from a light yellow–red, to a deep orange–brown. Haircolor is less varied, shading from a golden brown to a jetblack. They have four digits on each hand, and use a basetwelve number system.

The Kartamii's extensive feudal system has beensmashed and small town are the norm. The strong and theyoung are used as labor in the Hagonni small industry that isscattered from pole to pole. These are connected by roadand steam powered railroad.

These pleasant aliens look and feel like large black ormidnight blue bowling balls. Mallory's World, their home, isa cloudy, fow shrouded planet where this race evolvedwithout sight. They compensated with impressive mentalpowers, "seeing" with Clairvoyance, communicating withTelepathy, feel sound and manipulate their environment withTelekenesis. While their usual mode of locomotion is to roll,it is not uncommon to see one bounce of fly.

Balls are often found using their PSI to good effect aspsychiatrists, mediators and micro mechanical engineers.This race has a marvelous sense of humor that runs frompuns to storytelling. They can be charming to clusters ofaliens and generally enjoy the emotional'high' from gather-ings of happy people and bars.

The average Ball starts out with d4 +4 average PSI skillsin Telepathy and Telekenesis. These talents have no WKPcosts for them within line of sight. They can not control mindsor lift more then their own weight.
