Here I will compile a database of the alien races you have knowledge of. I shall update the entries whenever you find anything new about them. So if you forget something you can find it easily here.

Korg

Korg are impressive creatures, standing from 7 to 9 ft tall, with muscular bodies. They resemble somewhat mythological minotaurs, having two big horns and a thick fur. (if you want some image I think this is closest to what I have in mind) Korg are a peaceful, serene race of philosophers. They are slow to anger but when they do, their great strength makes them a devastating force. And as slow they are to get mad, they are even slower to forgive past insults. Technologically Korg are about as advanced as humans. (pl6)

Known Korgs:
Shrew: Standing fully 9ft tall, Shrew is one of the biggest of his kind. Owner of the Black Hole, most succesful bar on Unity.

Syrran

Syrran (or Sirryn, their name is impossible to properly write with human alphabet) are a very humanlike race. Aside their long pointy ears (think of elves) and a faint bluish tint to their skin, they could very well pass for a human. Even their genetic structure is very similar to humans. How this can be is a complete mystery.

Another similarity with humans is that Syrrans too are a race without homeworld. But Syrrans have never built a system of stationary colonies like humans. They are always on the move, living in their war-cruisers and constantly searching for a planet. At the moment there is one of these ship perched outside Unity, the crew taking a bit leave and trading with their human friends.

Syrran are way more advanced race than humans (late PL7)

Thomaar

The third race in the same situation with Humans and Syrran. Thomaar are a race of pibedal reptilians who have a mercenary way of looking at things. They don't seem to mind that they are outcasts. Might have something to do with the fact that they actually enjoy roaming the space fighting for whoever pays most. (PL6)

Mirp

Mirp are a race of small furry creatures who are considered the most ruthless traders in the Rebuplic. They were the ones who originally sold spacefaring tech to humans. However they don't have much contact with humans any more because relations with humans have become mostly nonprofitable.

K'ting

An insectoid and the most numerous sentient species in the Republic, K'tings have tough exosceleton and extreme strenght. They posses a low level of telepathy between themselves. There is a form of caste system in their culture but any of it's specifics are unknown to outsiders.

Segdiiri

Isolationist and xenophobic humanoids that are almost only nominally part of the Republic. Very little is known of them, but you have determined that they seem to build androids resembling themselves.

?

A mysterious race whose ships are shaped like classical flying saucers.
