Life-forms
Life, in its simplest forms, is very common in the galaxy. Nearly every environment with liquid water has something growing in it. Occasionally, a planet is found with a more complex ecosystem with animals and plants (or the local equivalents), and on rare occasions, a complex ecosystem is home to an intelligent species. The galaxy is large enough, however, that those rare occasions add up to a very large number of intelligent species. In all the galaxy, only two intelligent species became organized enough to independently discover interstellar space travel, Cielioids, and Humans.

The Grand Nalaxian was a sentient complex of Nalorgian spawning-pools that served as planetary governor.
Necroderms
Necroderms are creatures that float on top of water, looking like algal mats, waiting to capture and constrict their prey.
OOl-Tyr
The Ool-Tyr are an intelligent species that evolved free-floating in zero gravity. This especially suits them to be pilots of spacecraft, much to the chagrin of the Empire of 1,000,000 Suns.
Orgaff
The Orgaff is a large pack-animal native to New Albuquerque.
Pixielamp
Pixielamp is a short grass with bio-luminescent flowers native to New Promise.
Saurexian Rock-toads
Saurexian rock-toads are the descendants of toads from Earth, that evolved to live on New Albuquerque.
Spire Trees
These ominous trees conceal a deadly secret.
Spludd
