Members of the Interspecies Republic

The following are the member races of the Interspecies Republic

Florian
Being half the size of the average Terran, Florians are the smallest (size-wise) races with a presence in the Republic Parliament. Because of their short stature, the Florians aren't very strong, but are rather quick on the feet (and in their wits as well).

Helfan
An extremely long-lived race, the average Ralfaen lifespan is five centuries. Despite being one of the founding members of the Republic, the Helfan abhor violence and war, and Helfan members of the Republic Parliament consistently vote against funding offensive military actions.

Laceran
The Laceans are a warm-blooded, bipedal saurian race. They have a natural defense mechanism that allows them to spray venom at any would-be attackers. They also have an increased rate of cellular regeneration. They have the least amount of similarities with the other Republic species.

Neandean
The Neandeans are very human-like in appearance, but are shorter in stature (still standing a head taller than most Florians). They come from the cold planet of Neandea. Despite their short stature, they are, on average, stronger than the terrans and can withstand colder temperatures.

Telilians
The Telilians joined the Republic for convenience, they had disagreements with the Coalition, and therefore needed defense against them. The Interspecies Republic had no love for the Coalition either, and therefore were willing to support the Telilians if they agreed to join the Republic.

Terran
The Terrans original came to Home as refugees from a dying planet billions of lightyears away. In the past centuries since establishing Terra and subsequently unlocking the secret of hyperspace, the Terrans have become a galactic powerhouse.

Velfonean
The Velfanan are also very human-like in appearance, and are close to them same height. What the Velfanan lack in strength and immunity to diseases, make up in agility and intellect. Many Terrans find the Velfians an attractive species as well.

Veladrian
Most Veladuan found in the 'Verse are actually refugees from a parallel universe. While not having as big of a presence in the Republic Parliament they can provide information on the encroaching multiversal entity known as "the Conglomerate".
