Alien and Human Races in Traveller

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

Adduxar				Addux?/Tienspevnekr G

Carnivorous reptilian race with small stellar empire of about 37 planets met peacefully by the Zhodani as they expanded. Currently Zhodani citizens with a 10 planet reservation with sizable populations found throughout Zhodani space. See Aliens 4: Zhodani.

Bwaps				Maharaban/Empty Quarter 0426
(Newts)

Amphibians (Newts). Bipedal tailed quadrupeds from a warm, damp planet. Known as thoroughly efficient bureaucrats throughout imperial space. See JTAS 11 Contact!

Chamaxi				Alenzar (Chamax)/Foreven L (Reiden)

---

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.

Extinct race who got jump drive from the Vilani and got aggressive. Before 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.
