  Aliens in StarCluster are of three sorts. One is the Advanced Alien, who is technologically equivalent to 
  SaVaHuTa and the most advanced Diasporan states. The second is the Backward Alien, who is technologically 
  advanced enough for regular contact and trade, but is not able to create and maintain interstellar trade. The third 
  is the Primitive Alien, who is unable to sustain even the normal contact a Backward culture can sustain, and must 
  be contacted if at all by trained professionals. 
  This book will cover the Advanced Alien cultures. These cultures are at least Tech Level eight, which means they 
  could support an interplanetary civilization. Most do. Their relationships with Humanity in general, and 
  SaVaHuTa in particular, are varied. No one is at war at the moment, but there are undercurrents, as always. The 
  Uramkup, the Tumuran, and the Tommu are expansionist cultures, which conflict with the expansionist aims of 
  SaVaHuTa. The Etvar just don’t particularly like humans. The Kiskit are a fierce warrior culture, and do not like 
  being marginalized. There are many simmering sore points in the Cluster, and the differences between Humanity 
  and the Aliens are vast indeed

  The Tommu 
  The Tommu have a rather large, rapidly expanding 
  sphere of influence. Centered in the Mink System, the 
  Tommu homeworld of a’Tommutu’a has spun out 
  colonies to 13 other worlds. The oldest have evolved 
  into States of their own.

  The Tommu are large carnivores, and require a lot of 
  meat. The first encounter with the Tommu as they 
  chased prey through a SaVaHuTa exploration camp 
  frightened the exploring party so much that shots 
  were fired and a war began. The war was quickly over, 
  but it left a bad taste in peoples’ mouths. The Second 
  Tommu war was much longer and far nastier. It’s been 
  almost one hundred years, but resentment still sim-
  mers, and harsh words are spoken on both sides. 
  The governments of a’Tommutu’a and SaVaHuTa, 
  recognizing the dangers here, set up inside a small 
  moon in the Fox system a joint administration colony 
  known as Luknow in SaVaHuTa, and as Tommutesu 
  in Tommu space. The colony has prospered, and now 
  has State status, giving it the Tommu e’’e honorific as 
  e’Tommutesu’e. Here SaVaHuTa and Tommu live and 
  work together, trying to find common ground. So far, 
  the experiment has succeeded, but there are still many 
  tensions in this part of space.

  Kolusien 
  The Kolusien are aquatic creatures, adapted to life 
  under water. They are clumsy on dry land, but adept 
  and dexterous in null G conditions. Kolusien prefer to 
  keep their ships in null G, unlike Humankind and 
  most other Aliens. Kolusien are large omnivores. 
  They hunt prey underwater and grow crops of various 
  seaweeds in the shallows.

  Their home planet, Runivaran, is a water world, with 
  only tiny coral islands breaking the ocean’s expanse. 
  They tend to favor watery worlds to colonize, but 
  Melianiene is a dry moon, and the Kolusien congre-
  gate there in the two small seas. 
  Kolusien do not particularly care for 
  Humanity, although that seems a political 
  decision due to Humanity’s dominance in 
  the cluster rather than any real species 
  antagonism. Generally aligning against 
  Humanity, they are nonetheless scrupu-
  lously neutral and avoid participating in 
  conflicts. In general terms, they favor the 
  initiatives of the Tommu and Uramkup as 
  checks against SaVaHuTa. 
  Kolusien are most likely to be found in 
  Sector Fifth, but are also fairly common in 
  Sector Fourth, especially near their colonies. They will 
  occasionally show up most anywhere, usually as mer-
  chants but occasionally as tourists, particularly on 
  watery worlds.

  Tumentamenata 
  Tumentamenata inhabit a small but densely populated 
  sliver of space. With 7 worlds in three adjacent sys-
  tems, they dominate the area around them in a way 
  disproportionate to their actual power. Their home-
  world of Keminaritumen in the Sprite system is the 
  center of their wealth and power, but the other 
  Tumentamenata worlds are not to be ignored.

  The Tumentamenata generally trade in an area from 
  Leviathan to Iris and from Shyly to Mahdi. In this 
  area, they are a dominant economic force. Outside of 
  this area, they are seldom seen, though not unknown. 
  Tumentamenata are never tourists. Their politico-eco-
  nomic system is tied to personal wealth, and they 
  value this status very highly indeed. They always travel 
  as traders, buying and selling most anything. They 
  love to smuggle, seeing smuggling as merely a more 
  rewarding sort of business opportunity. 
  The Tumentamenata are generally well-disposed 
  towards SaVaHuTa, although individual trading fami-
  lies (called Houses) may vary somewhat as they see a 
  competitive advantage. They have no true space navy, 
  but individual houses are well equipped for combat, 
  with some fielding private navies of considerable 
  power.

  Tappi 
  The Tappi are an anomaly among the Aliens of the 
  cluster. Immensely intelligent and capable, and pro-
  ducers of marvellous technology, the Tappi are not 
  only water breathers, but immense creatures, with the 
  largest individuals reaching some 30 meters long. Sin-
  gularly ill equipped by nature for space flight to begin 
  with, the Tappi are exquisitely sensitive to fluctuations 
  in gravity, and artificial gravity fields make them vio-
  lently ill. The Tappi, by sheer will and determination, 
  have established a colony on the moon which orbits 
  around their home world, Teumatimon. 
  Colonizer

  Teumatimon Clovis 1 #095 400 mil 
  Colony 
  •
  Tappana Clovis 1+1 #095 3 mil 
  This colony, while stable and productive, is the far-
  thest the Tappi will ever reach into space. They have 
  come up with an interesting and peculiar solution to 
  their problems. The Tappi, in order to trade on equal 
  footing with the likes of SaVaHuTa, the Uramkup, 
  and others, must field their own space-going ships. 
  Tappi cannot crew them, so they ’adopt’ creatures of 
  other species into Tappi families as equals, treating 
  them no different than they would Tappi. Certain 
  Tappi families have established relations with particu-
  lar species, so that, for instance, 
  the Hummea Family will always 
  adopt Tommu, and the Juctu Fam-
  ily will always adopt Uramkup. 
  All space-going ’Tappi’ outside of 
  the home moon and it’s colony are 
  actually different species who are 
  legally, but not physically, Tappi. 
  They enjoy all the rights of the real 
  Tappi and are mostly fanatically 
  loyal to their new families.

  Ven Der Opt 
  The Ven Der Opt are perhaps, outside of the Tappi, 
  the least enthusiastic colonizers in the Cluster. While 
  Ven dan Oor seems quite solid and in no danger of 
  failure, the Ven Der Opt seem much more inclined to 
  wander about the Cluster pretending to trade. The 
  Ven Der Opt are, at best, indifferent traders, seem-
  ingly more interested in the latest gossip than in mak-
  ing a profit. They are the Cluster’s best source of 
  certain kinds of information.

  They can be found virtually anywhere in the cluster, 
  poking into whatever suits them. They seem to have a 
  sixth sense for trouble, because if Ven Der Opt show 
  up it is almost certain that something is happening in 
  the immediate area. The Ven Der Opt are the most 
  gregarious of Aliens, seemingly always pleasant and 
  charming. They are very large, but to a Human’s eye 
  strange and almost comical. This adds to their charm, 
  and they use it to pry loose tidbits of information. 
  No one knows what the Ven Der Opt economy runs 
  on. They seem to always have plenty to trade, but they 
  seemingly go through the motions of trading without 
  caring of the result. The Tumentamenata flatly refuse 
  to trade with Ven Der Opt, claiming it is without chal-
  lenge and boring. The Ven Der Opt merely shrug and 
  go about their inscrutable business.

  Kiskit 
  The Kiskit are a small people, like the Uramkup. They 
  make up for lack of size with a fierceness that is diffi-
  cult to see beyond. They are definitely the most 
  aggressive of Aliens, having fought three wars with 
  SaVaHuTa, two with the Tommu and with the 
  Uramkup and one with the Tumuran, all within the 
  last one hundred years. They are hot-headed and 
  quick to take insult, but are quick also to laugh and 
  party.

  The Kiskit homeworld is Kwry in the Jack system. 
  Kwry is not at present colonizing anywhere, but the 
  former Kwry colonies of Tyrrik and Beal are coloniz-
  ing Skrit and Kwnin, respectively. Knowing that they 
  are out manned by the Tommu, Tumuran, and 
  Uramkup has given a sharp impetus to Kiskit coloni-
  zation efforts. They are driven by the knowledge that 
  their enemies can crush them by sheer weight of num-
  bers, and this thought does not sit well with them.
  The Kiskit are prideful and arrogant, and will feud at 
  the drop of a hat. They will fight as readily amongst 
  themselves, though, as with outsiders. This is one rea-
  son their population has remained relatively flat, as all 
  surplus population tends to get sucked into some Kis-
  kit war or other. They have lately made a concerted 
  effort to avoid war, and it has paid off. They are 
  aggressively scouting for new Colony locations, and 
  predictions are that they will soon double their colo-
  nial real estate.

  Tumuran 
  The Tumuran are cat-sized soft bodied invertebrates. 
  Their diet is omnivorous, but disgusting to most 
  Humanoids, as the Tumuran prefer their food rotted 
  to the texture of slime. Luckily, Tumuran have a taboo 
  against eating in public, so we are spared this spectacle 
  for the most part. 
  The Tumuran are a young, expansionist people, and 
  have butted heads with various Human factions sev-
  eral times. Tumuran objectives are not so much anti-
  thetical to Human objectives as incomprehensible. 
  The evolutionary path taken by the Tumuran has 
  almost nothing in common with the Human path, and 
  unlike with the Tommu or Guaru, there is no clear 
  comprehension of what the other wants.

  Tumuran in a fairly small area. They can be met with, 
  though, throughout Sector Fifth, typically travelling in 
  convoys protected by Tumuran Naval ships. 
  The Tumuran are meddlesome and incomprehensible. 
  The reasons they do the things they do are insane by 
  our standards, yet their society works very well on its 
  own terms. The Tumuran are a very successful peo-
  ple, and have exploited their niches well.

  Ronaure 
  The Ronaure are a rather reclusive people. They pre-
  fer to speak via electronic means rather than face to 
  face, and few Humanoids have ever made close con-
  tact with a Ronaure. They are herbivorous, and detest 
  most carnivores. They wear no clothing themselves, 
  although their plated exterior make them unnecessary, 
  they feel clothing hides things and that people who 
  wear clothing are essentially dishonest.

  Their worlds are spread throughout Sector Fourth, 
  with no particular grouping about their home system 
  of Five Fingers. They travel throughout Sector 
  Fourth, between their various footholds, and trade 
  along the way. They are aknowledged as utterly honest 
  traders, so long as one listens carefully to what is actu-
  ally being said. 
  They have never been known to war, either among 
  themselves or with others. Their relations with 
  SaVaHuTa are best described as "Polite", with no par-
  ticular animosity on either side. They seem to get 
  along best with the Kertu-Drua, and most of what is 
  know about the Ronaure comes from Kertu-Drua 
  sources. 
  The Jointly Administered world of Kominu/Oliphant 
  is probably the biggest failure SaVaHuTa has ever had 
  in its Joint Admin program. The extreme privacy 
  needs of the Ronaure inhabitants dictated a strictly 
  segregationist policy where each of the peoples inhab-
  its a different hemisphere rather than blending 
  together as was the intent. Kominu/Oliphant is best 
  described as two separate worlds in one.

  Uramkup 
  The Uramkup are perhaps the Cluster’s most success-
  ful Aliens. They have a widely dispersed and populous 
  sphere, and can be found anywhere in the Cluster. 
  They are omnivores, eating virtually the same foods 
  Humans eat. They are smaller than humans, though 
  not as small as Kiskits or Tumurans. They have fought 
  2 wars with SaVaHuTa, both over one hundred years 
  ago, one of which was successful.

  The Uramkup are SaVaHuTa’s main "competition". 
  They seem to have set themselves up as champions of 
  the Non-Human, and gain immense status by defying 
  SaVaHuTa. They seem to like humanity, as witness the 
  success of the shared Jointly Administered world of 
  Zebra/Urumit. The Uramkup make a great distinc-
  tion between Humanity and SaVaHuTa the political 
  organization, and trade most willingly with Human 
  worlds, both SaVaHuTa and Diasporan. The 
  Uramkup are the "Loyal Opposition" to SaVaHuTa. 
  They serve as a focus to legitimate Alien political 
  maneuvering, and for the most part serve to prevent 
  the most blatant abuses an enormous political organi-
  zation like SaVaHuTa is susceptible to. They are for 
  the most part straight-forward people, preferring 
  things in the open and above board, and have earned 
  the respect they are given.

  Guaru 
  The Guaru are an old space-faring people. Like the 
  Etvar, the Guaru’s homeworld is not one they now 
  occupy, but unlike the Etvar, they know what it is. At 
  some point in their past, the Guaru moved en masse 
  from their homeworld of Glask to the new world of 
  Slus in the same system. Glask is now run by a Guaru 
  Archeological Council, and trade in ancient Guaru 
  artifacts is now banned. Banned, of course, does not 
  mean stopped, and many smugglers have made a fine 
  living from these artifacts.

  With the discovery of Jump Ship technology, the 
  Guaru have begun colonizing outside their home sys-
  tem of Suprise. They have recently moved into the 
  Berlin system in a big way, colonizing 3 worlds there. 
  Guaru are found throughout Sector Third, but can 
  mostly be found in the tail end beyond Plush. 
  They get along well with Humanoids, and often hire 
  them to man their ships. Perhaps because of their sly 
  and secretive natures, the Guaru and Humanity find 
  many points of commonality. The Guaru have never 
  been in a war outside their own species, but tend to 
  take SaVaHuTa’s side in conflicts. 
  The Guaru have profited greatly from their associa-
  tion with SaVaHuTa, and have been given preferen-
  tial treatment above other Aliens. For this reason, the 
  other Aliens tend to shun the Guaru as SaVaHuTa’s 
  toadies and catspaws. The Guaru have other ideas, 
  and if their close relationship with Humanity ever 
  becomes a hinderance, they will surely turn.

  Kertu-Drua 
  Kertu-Drua are small, friendly aliens who have 
  evolved a stable, non-expanding set of worlds. They 
  happily trade and tour throughout the Cluster, taking 
  in the sights and not pushing too hard. The Kertu-
  Drua are the kindly retired Aliens of the Cluster, help-
  ing out around the place, and generally improving 
  everyone’s lives by being around. Everyone likes the 
  Kertu-Drua.

  The Kertu-Drua have long ago stopped expanding, 
  and all of their former colonies have become States. 
  Their homeworld of Kertu-Darurak has held its pop-
  ulation steady at 2.5 billion for hundreds of years now. 
  The last Kertu Drua colony world was a special one. 
  With the newly established SaVaHuTa, they founded 
  Kertu-Luku/Dandylion, a jointly administered colony 
  where the two peoples intermingle freely. It is the very 
  successful model for several other joint colonies, like 
  the Guaru/SaVaHuTa jointly administered world of 
  Whitecap/Slualo, or the Tommu/SaVaHuTa jointly 
  administered world of e’Tommutesu’e/Luknow.
  The Kertu-Drua are herbivores, and their highly var-
  ied vegetarian cuisine is famous throughout the Clus-
  ter. Their worlds are gardens, where vegetation from 
  around the Cluster is grown. The Kertu-Drua’s pro-
  pensity for simple beauty of form is also well-known, 
  and Kertu-Drua architecture is copied in many places 
  in the Cluster.

  Etvar 
  The Etvar dislike Humanity, seemingly on an instinc-
  tual level. They also dislike the Uramkup, though to a 
  lesser degree. No one knows exactly why this is so, 
  even the Etvar, but it is the case, and we have to deal 
  with it. Humanity has no reciprocal dislike of the 
  Etvar, and Humanity has always been puzzled by the 
  evident hostility shown by the Etvar to anything 
  Human.

  Etvar States are extremely far separated. Long ago, 
  there were many Etvar worlds, but the Etvar seem to 
  have died off before humanity entered the Cluster 500 
  years ago, except for the 3 separated States of Etlevs, 
  Etruns, and Etcleks. None of these three is the Etvar 
  homeworld. The Etvar say their homeworld, like 
  Humanities Earth, was destroyed. It happened so long 
  ago that it is almost mythical to the Etlevs themselves. 
  The Etlevs have never colonized another world in the 
  last 500 years. 
  Most Etlev ships run around the sec-
  tor, trading with any Alien people 
  they come across, except for the 
  Uramkup, whom they detest, and the 
  Formenai, whom they cannot get to 
  save by being escorted by SaVaHuTa 
  ships, which they will not do. Etlev 
  Ships can be found most anywhere in 
  the cluster. They are a people old in 
  technology, and have forgotten much 
  from their glory years, but every once 
  in a while an archaeologist on a 
  former Etlev world will find amaz-
  ingly advanced items.

  Formenai 
  The Formenai inhabit a compact but heavily popu-
  lated area at the edge of the Cluster. Dortmund and 
  Mombassa are a one jump away from each other, and 
  both are a one jump away from Anson, but Anson is 
  SaVaHuTa interdicted space, and Anson is a five jump 
  away from anywhere. Formenai ships must request 
  SaVaHuTa escort through Anson interdicted space, 
  and they resent this thoroughly. As a result, few For-
  menai leave their home systems into the rest of the 
  Cluster.

  Another source of irritation to the Formenai is that 
  SaVaHuTa is sitting on a beautiful moon in the Anson 
  system, Anson 4+6, perfect for colonization, but due 
  to the SaVaHuTa interdiction of the world of Jalan, 
  they are not settling it, and refuse to allow it to be set-
  tled by the Formenai. This angers the Formenai, and 
  tempers are flaring in the Trans-Anson area. The 
  readily colonizable worlds in the Dortmund-Mom-
  bassa systems have long since been colonized. 
  The Formenai, luckily for SaVaHuTa, are probably 
  the Cluster’s most natively rational beings. They are 
  well aware of SaVaHuTa’s far greater population, and 
  have so far settled for pushing in diplomatic channels, 
  but they are determined to settle Anson 4+6, and may 
  just end up daring SaVaHuTa to stop a fait accompli.
