The Prime Galaxy could contain an uncatalogable number of sentient races that live on the billions and billions of stars. Only the races which contributed to the story are listed here with a brief outline. Follow the link to a detailed race page.
- Humans : Descendents of ourselves, inhabitants within the Great Cloud and survivors of the Crok Empire.
- O'ckchuka : Inhabitants of a rocky, hot world who are short in stature. Initiated the Servile Rebellion with a prophesy that a 'human' messiah would lead them to victory. Staunch allies of humans and supporters of the Prime Union. They are excellent soldiers and most join the military for a tour as part of coming of age.
- Crok : Descendents of various reptilian creatures on a humid jungle homeworld, created by the Elder Whoshoe with genetic manipulation. Their class structure fell into disuse with the slavery of other worlds and mastery of genetherapy to create tailored servile races. Invaded and almost destroyed the human race. Finally defeated by the Servile Rebellion, demilitarised and forced to exist in a small cordon of worlds.
- Manoon Na : A tall thin race with ESP awareness. They have no eyes or mouth. They were trusted slaves of the Crok and so have never been fully trusted by the other Servile races, even during the Annihilation story. They have a innate understanding of 'nature/life force' and some have been known to manifest surrounding energy physically, similar to mana.
- Ae'thair : A race from another galaxy they invaded the Prime Galaxy in search for a source of mana which is their primary source of power. Their religious leader, the Sah'Villi is the most powerful of the race. Ae'thair have been said to kill by look alone. Their own galaxy is small and their source of mana is running scarce, thus the reason for their migration. Female Ae'thair are known to have wings while males do not.
- Kongsvergragrin : Genetically bred by the Crok from gorilla stock as shock troops. The Kongs are viscous, dangerous and were greatly feared by the Servile races throughout the Crok Empire. Humans from the Great Cloud first encountered Kongs in 'human' space and learnt of the Crok Empire. After the defeat of the Crok, Kongs turned to piracy but were completely destroyed by the Patrician Sisterhood.
- Elder : The Elder are not one race but a collection of individuals or groups of races who are hundreds of thousands to millions of years old. One does not become and Elder by living forever though, it is a state of being and achieved through a journey of discovery and self-awareness. The Elder are not suppose to interfere in other races but several have, especially during the conflict with the Ae'thair and when one group of Elder attacked the fledging Prime Union.
- Xxol : A minor Servile race who did their part in the Servile Rebellion and continue to serve in the Prime Union in accordance to their percentage of the population.
- Crok Gene Races : The Crok were masters of gene therapy and manipulation. They experimented on creatures and sentient beings to create hybrids which could be used for specific tasks such as labour, transport or entertainment. Such races maintained such of their original temperament and make-up as the therapy usually increased a certain attribute or raised intelligence to a more suitable level. Sub-races of humanity were created in this manner.
- Mu'a'to : A totally in appropriate name given to a race of crystalline 'golem' shaped beings by a Manoon Na aboard the Star Chaser (episode XX, Exploration). The Mu'a'to sound like wind chimes and breaking ice when they move or communicate. They joined the Prime Union after helping to foil the Ae'thair and maintain the Armageddon Station.
- Bukoniskistunachi : A minor Servile race most noted for their wandering nature. When enslaved by the Crok they served as ship crews and within years could be found all over the Empire. With the defeat of the Crok and creation of the Prime Union, the Buko's as they are called have become even more prevalent, spreading their culture to every inhabited planet. The Buko are very family and ancestral orientated, maintaining strong links to their homeworld.
- Patrician Sisterhood : The Sisterhood is one of the few anomolies of the Elder. Where as Elder are hightly unique and individualastic, the Sistherhood is a large group of Elder, about two dozen who share a Mind Mentality. Originally a Religous Order, the Sisters acheived 'Elder' status as a group and continue to maintain their previous form of existence.
