Alien Races
The Tywom are your (too) friendly neighbors that are very eager to be your friends.
Do they have an agenda? Or are they just very lonely in a creepy way?
The Mu'kay are a peaceful squid race of aliens that prefer to not interfere with the development of young aliens.
When it comes to fish, though, they are no longer peaceful.
The Scryve dominate the galaxy by subjugation and extermination. They've chosen to do the latter to you.
How did they come to power? What is their origin? How will you survive?
