Persephone Sector is mostly
human-centric, but these alien species are available as starting
Player Characters. More aliens might "unlock" as the PCs encounter them.

Naga
The
Naga are androgynous, hermaphrodite reptilian humanoids possessing a
weirdly exotic allure. In aeons past, the Naga had a shamanistic religious tradition. This tradition disappeared centuries before
first contact was made. When humanity colonized Cedar, the Naga had
no concept of religion or spirituality. They were fascinated by the
idea, and rapidly embraced the teachings of the Temple of Babylon
Eternal. The humans and Naga of Cedar have worked together to form a
prosperous society.
The
Naga are an introspective, casual race that values the pleasures of
life and learning. Their reverence for philosophy and wisdom has kept
their hedonistic nature from declining into decadence.

Yuglings
Yurglings
resemble human-sized furry-faced slugs with high-pitched, grating voices. The
Yurgling species possesses three sexes—an egg maker, an
inseminator, and a womb-provider. Yurgling marriages are complicated
three-way affairs. Partially due to the complexities of these
triple-relationships, Yurglings have evolved to become the greatest
traders, arbitrators, and contract lawyers in the Sector.
Yurglings
cannot swim and have a superstitious fear of their planet's cold,
salty oceans. When humanity first arrived on Yurgoloth, the Yurglings
were more than happy to let them settle on the mineral-rich ocean.
However, the yurglings charge the human settlements outrageous rental
fees and taxes. They have wheeled-and-dealed human corporations for
trillions of credits, and Yurgoloth has grown to be one of the
richest planets in the sector.
