Major Races, Minor Races, Humanity, and Aliens
This document is a comprehensive (but not exhaustive) list of Alien and
Human Races named in Traveller.
Major Races
The "major" races are called such because they have all developed jump
drive independently, and/or forged a multi-sector domain using it. Of
the major races, three are human, one is geneered, and four are natural
aliens.
Race Home World
Droyne Eskayloyt/Spinward Marches
(Actual position unknown)
The Droyne are the survivors of the Ancients. They are a multi-part race;
an individual "castes" to become a member of a subspecies suited to a
particular role. Uncasted members do not fully develop and live as
Chirpers. Psionically inclined. See Aliens 5: Droyne and Adventure 12:
Secret of the Ancients.
Fteirle Kusyu/Dark Nebula 1919 (Kil'rai)
(Aslan)
Evolved from carnivorous hunters, they developed a society structured
by clan; no central government. Culture places great value on honor to
balance natural aggression. Their society spans 17 sectors spinward of
Solomani space. See Aslan & Solomani and Aliens 1: Aslan.
Hivers Guaran/Ricenden (Guaran) 0827
Evolved from gatherer/scavenger stock with six-fold radial symmetry
standing about 1.5 m high weighing about 150 kg. The head is a limb
modified with extra sensory organs (eye stalks, tentacles, and infrared
sensors). The other limbs are used for locomotion or manipulation. No
verbal speech, they communicate by ideographic sign language. They are
more curious than humans. Known for their superior electronics &
computers. They prefer subtle manipulation to physical confrontation or
overt action. They dominate a several-sector domain trailing of Solomani
Space. See Aliens 7: Hivers.
K'kree Kirur/Ruupiin (Thirty) 1315
(Centaurs)
The K'kree developed from hexapodal herd animals, developing intelligence
for defense. They have a several sector realm trailing the Vargr Extents
and the 3rd Imperium. Their herd mentality makes them happier only when
accompanied by their extended family/herd. They are quite claustrophobic.
They are arrogant, conservative, and militantly anti-carnivore. See Aliens
2: K'kree.
Solomani Terra/Solomani Rim (Terra) 1827
(Humaniti major)
Solomani humans come from humaniti's original home: Terra. Solomani are
known for their curiosity, impetuosity, and belief that they should rule
scattered humaniti. Of all humaniti, only the Solomani display ethnic
diversity (because each other human race grew from an undiverse initial
population). The Solomani Confederation is an 8 sector domain rimward
of of Imperial space. See Aslan & Solomani and Aliens 6: Solomani.
Vargr Lair/Provence (Grnouf) 2402
Geneered by the Ancients 300K years ago from terran canines. Their mental
capacity was uplifted to sentience and their fore paws were reformed as
hands. They are spread over 18 sectors with no encompassing government
coreward of Imperial space. See Vilani & Vargr and Aliens 3: Vargr.
Vilani Vland/Vland (Vland) 1717
(Humaniti major)
Taken from Terra 300K years ago by Ancients. Developed jump drive and
built 28-sector 1st Empire (Zira Sirku), which lasted a few K years before
falling within 2 centuries of meeting the Solomani. Pure stock Vilani
known for long life span (up to 200 years). Group-oriented culture known
for careful, deliberate planning. See Vilani & Vargr.
Zhodani Zhdant/Zhdant (Gaval) 2719
(Humaniti major)
Taken from Terra 300K years ago by Ancients. Developed a society stratified
by psionic ability now dominating a several-sector domain spinward of
Vargr space that eventually came in conflict with the 3rd Imperium in
Spinward Marches. See Aliens 4: Zhodani.
Minor Alien Races
Alien Races are non-human intelligent races found within known space.
These count as "minor" because they did not develop jump drive on their
own. Races created by genetic engineering techniques (geneering) are noted.
Race Home World
===========================================================================

Gurvin Ofilaq/Fologore A
Derived from hexapodal omnivore/hunter stock, about 1.75 m. tall, standing
upright on two legs. The middle limbs can also be used as legs (for stability
if needed or speed). Females are much more intelligent than males, who
seldom leave Gurvin settlements. Females can be found throughout Hiver
space as merchants and business execs or less commonly as explorers. They
are obsessed with money. Most place names in the Hive Federation are derived
from the Gurvin language, which provides an intermediate translation between
phonetic languages (like Galanglic) and the Hiver ideographic tongue.

wings are now vestigial, developed into another set of fingers. Less than
1 m long, hollow-boned and delicate, their diet consists mostly of fruit
(to maintain high methabolism), some insects and small game. They live in
small scattered communities requiring large foraging territories. Not
combative, but organized along clan lines, they were contacted by the
Aslan. Given ships in -1385 ti, they spread to about six worlds, none of
which were as inviting as their home world. Unable to produce or maintain
ships on their own, expansion stopped. See TD17.
Urzaeng through out Vargr Extents
(Vargr minor)
Taller and more powerfully built than humans, these massive Vargr can
take on Aslan males in unarmed melee. Originally bred for guard duty
and menial labor, they tend to lack full mental faculties. (Big & dumb).

forcibly brought into the Zira Sirku in -4404ti. They are concentrated in
an autonomous region filling most of a subsector. Currently
(1105-1130ti) an Imperial ally. See Solomani Rim and Supplement 11
Library Data N-Z.
Virushi Virshash/Reavers' Deep 2724
Referred to as walking bulldozers. 1.8 m to the shoulder, nearly 1 ton

be stubborn when pressed See JTAS 12 Contact!
Xapoqi Xapoqoz/Corridor 3131 (Sashrakusha)
Race of near-plants. See TD18.
Za'tachk Loza'tch/Wrenton K
Derived from omnivore/gathers; trisexual species. They are similar in
character to the Hivers, although more conservative. They tend to be found
in administrative roles. See Aliens 7: Hivers.
Minor Humaniti
All minor human races derive from two sources: either they were removed
from Terra about 300K years ago by the Ancients and left in various places
(and managed to survive after the destructive fratricidal war that
destroyed the Ancients) or they were developed some time during the last
2000 years by Solomani genetic engineering techniques (geneering). These
races count as "minor" because they did not develop jump drive on their
own.

the Vilani finished them off, a massive asteroid ship took off across the
void about -4500 ti. Emerging on the other side, they became known as the
Sky Raiders, legendary across Far Frontiers Sectors. Eventually,
civilization aboard their world ship broke down; many left and colonized
worlds in Far Frontiers, interbreeding with the Vlazhumecta (qv). See Fate
of the Sky Raiders and TTC5.
Mal'Gnar Mal'Gnar/The Beyond 3002
Humans geneered by Ancients to fly, with feathered wings and retractable
feet. Tend to remain aloof from Humaniti and hate Droyne. They are reported
as interfertile with humaniti, but I'd hate to see a cross-breed! See
The Beyond.
Mermani Phaedrus/Alpha Crucis 1006
Humans geneered by Imperial research scientists for existence underwater,
featuring large webbed hands and feet, no body hair, flat or external
ear, wide noses that seal (I guess like a seal's), and unpigmented skin,
leaving them the color of alabaster. See TTC5 "Mermani Descent."
Murrissi [uncertain Coreward Hierate location]
Nexies Nexine/Spinward Marches 3030 (Mora)
Nexine is an underpopulated water world being "reseeded" by the Ministry
of Conservation (as of 1105) using biologically altered humans. No description
available. See Supplement 3 Spinward Marches.
Suerrat Ilelish/Ilelish 2907
Shown as picture in Aslan & Solomani.
Sydymic Sopater/Ley 2929
Aggressive minor race controlling a subsector-sized domain. 2.4 m tall!
See Ley Sector.
Syleans Sylea/Core
Human minor race responsible for the Sylean Federation, which became the
3rd Imperium.
Tapazmal Dlaekan/Reft 3134 (Moiban)
Geneered by the Ancients for low birth rate. later raided by the Loeskalth
before annexation by the Zira Sirku. See TD20.
Thaggeshi Thaggesh/Vland 2530
Primitive human race found by the Vilani in early -9100s ti. (Since then,
probably subsumed by Vilani for the most part.) See Vilani & Vargr.
Vlazhumecta (planet)/Far Frontiers
Human minor race contacted by the Zhodani about -4900 ti. They got jump-drive
from Zho traders. After rapid expansion, they collapsed under the strain
of maintaining colonies far away. The Zho came in to clean up the pieces.
Many mixed with Loeskalth (Sky Raiders), who colonized the same area
when their Sky Raider civilization fractured about -3900 ti. See TTC5
"Far Frontiers."
Yileans Gashigan/Gashigan (Gashlikan)
Wuans Wu/Magyar 0203
Self-geneered race designed for industrial production. Workers are
single-minded and physically tough. Managers have more cerebral
flexibility. See Aslan & Solomani.
Zaris (planet)/Glimmerdrift Reaches N
(Zairae)
Humans geneered by Ancients as labor; designed to be non-interfertile
("profound biochemical differences") to avoid contamination by wild warrior
strains of humaniti. Race possesses latent psionic link that provides
stability and quick reaction to disasters. See Glimmerdrift Reaches.
