Type: Extra-terrestrial

Place of origin: Benicia Tara, the sixth planet in the Upsilon3 Eridani System, a.k.a. Beemim System.

The Benicians and the E'lah have a history of war, but also of co-operation. After having reached a peace agreement, the E'lah and the Benicians divided their spoils, but could not agree regarding the Shifu system, both sides claiming they were the first to colonize it. Since Andeleb IV had been the only world the Benicians had actually settled on, they were allowed to keep claim to it while the E'lah claimed the rest of the system.

Unknown to both races, at the time, the Anunnaki had claimed it first, but since the Anunnaki did not need it as a settlement, they stayed quiet. They had other plans for it, and when they lost Earth, they decided that the Shifu System would become its replacement.

With the E'lah having claimed the majority of the system, the Anunnaki struck a bargain with them regarding Human colonization, and when Humans settled the system, the Benicians did not object, so long as they were allowed free trade with them.

Particularities: Benicians are immune to Meridian's pheromones and are unaffected by some of Soleil's chakra powers, indicating that their internal energy centres are vastly different from that of Humans.

Sexuality: They are a two sexed species, males and females, and are oviparous, laying one to three eggs.

Berandi

Type: Extra -Terrestrial

Planet of Origin: Beranda IV

Berandi are known to be natural empaths and as such, have had a positive impact on their world. Berandi can sense emotions and can sense the fear in animals as well. For the most part, Berandi are vegetarians and peace loving. Some, however, have come to see the opportunity that their empathic abilities offer.

Berandi do not have hair. Instead, they have sensory spots on their head. These allow them to feel the emotions in others, and also share their own emotions. This emotional sharing is the reason many Berandi work in the sex industry. It is said that a sexual experience with a Berandi is highly pleasurable because the Berandi can feel what you are feeling, and so, by pleasing you, they also please themselves.

Only one Berandi has the ability to release mental energy via these spots. The bounty hunter known as PsyLash.

Sexualiy: The Berandi are a hermaphroditic species, possessing both male and female organs. Each individual is capable of carrying a child, though once that happens, the individual will essentially become female or fem, as Berandi call it. Fems start developing breasts and lose their ability to inseminate, though they do keep their male appendage. The Hound, Psylash, is one such individual.

Many young Berandi enter the sex industry in order to avoid becoming fems. Berandi are physically compatible with many species but can only be impregnated by other Berandi. Some fems do enter the sex industry to avoid getting pregnant a second time.

Many Berandi are referred to as Futs, a derogatory term meaning chicks with dicks. Berandi are viviparous, giving birth to fully formed young.

E'lah 


                     
                                                                                                  E'lah ships

A.K.A.: The People, Greys, Zeta Reticulons

Type: Extra-terrestrial

Place of origin: Zeta Reticuli
 
The E'lah came about as a failed experiment. The Anunnaki were experimenting on Humans in order to learn the secret of the Human soul, when one experiment resulted in the creation of beings virtually emotionless and soulless. The Anunnaki had no need of such a specimen, but allowed them to live regardless. These began worshipping the Anunnaki, but soon learned that their gods found them unworthy. To atone for their deficiency, the E'lah vowed to surpass their Human progenitors, and did so by hundreds of years. The E'lah had developed star travel while Man was still learning their world was round.

The E'lah, however, had been breeding through genetic manipulation, trying to breed the best qualities in their offspring. They depended on artificial procreation so much that they began to see physical procreation as barbaric and uncivilized. In time, however, their selective program started to fail and lower specimen started to rise from their experiments. 

The E'lah started "inbreeding" the best genes from their populace, but the gene pool eventually drained and the E'lah's survival became problematic. As they searched for a solution to their problem, they realized that their survival lay in their progenitors, the Humans. They started their own experiments on Humans, but unlike their gods who wanted to isolate the power of the Human soul, the E'lah thought the soul and emotions needed to be expunged from their experiments. They believed that it was the only way to produce a perfect Hybrid that would help restore their race.

Abilities: Advanced technology and weapons. Can read weak minds, mould and control them. They are highly intelligent.

Sexuality: E'lah are a two sexed species, males and females, although it is sometimes difficult to differentiate males from females since their sexual organs are internal by default. E'lah do not engage sexually and prefer reproducing through in vitro fertilization. Some, however, have been known to copulate with humans. E'lah can conceive a child with Humans and Chaeh'lah, since they have a shared biology.
 
Weaknesses: Physically weaker than humans and prone to the same types of injuries.

Known E'lah: Se'lah (although he is now classified as Chaeh'lah), Te'mel, Mek'teh

First appearance: Novel Grey Legacy 

First visual appearance (ships): The Return of Gaia Force #5

Jaravians

         

Type: Extra-terrestrial

Planet of origin: Jara Vee 

Jara Vee is a world with a gravity of 5G, making its inhabitants extremely strong. For that reason, Jaravians are often recruited as muscle. In a 1G environment, Jaravians can easily lift around 5 tons.

The Jaravians' reputation is that they are a violent species, but the truth is that they are very caring towards friends and family.

Sexuality: Jaravians are a two sexed species, males and females. They can be physically compatible with Humans, but their size and strength can be an issue. It is unlikely the two could conceive a child.

First appearance: The Return of Gaia Force #1



Obsidians


Type: Extra-terrestrial

Planet of origin: Obsidia 

The world known as Obsidia is a world almost totally covered in magma. The humanoid species that lives there has developed a very strong outer shell, enabling them to survive the intense heat of their world.

Sexuality: Obsidians are a two sexed species, males and females. They are not sexually compatible with other species, primarily for the fact that their bodily fluids are highly corrosive. It may be possible to counteract their effects, however, since the Hound, Obsidian, did make advances to Meridian. They are viviparous, although the young are born in a sack that protects them from the mother's corrosive fluids.

Known Obsidians: 

First appearance: Scheduled for Gaia Force #10



Valamorans

Type: Extra -Terrestrial

Planet of Origin: Valamore Ceti

Valamorans are recognized throughout the E'lah Dominion as being an excellent work force. Their bodies made for living in a 2G world gives them a physical advantage when working in a normal 1G environment, where Valamorans can lift 1000 lbs with little effort.

Sexuality: Valamorans are a two sexed species, males and females. They are physically compatible with Humans, although conceiving a child is unlikely. They are viviparous, giving birth to fully formed young.
