I was looking through character creation and I got to the part with alien characters and it dawned on me that there are only two races listed there: Aslan and Vargr. Let me be clear from the get go. I freaking love the Vargr and I also really love the Aslan (but not as much as Vargr. Sorry but not sorry.). Still though, where are the Droyne? K'kree? Hivers? Zhodani/Vilani I get because they are humans with no mechanical difference from Solomani (although a Zhodani entry might include a rule that any Zhodani character can make a SOC 7+ roll to go straight into the psion career and maybe get a racial bonus to their PSI score test. Like +2 to roll to determine PSI). I get that the Vargr and Aslan are the most likely to end up plying space as Travellers and that Hivers and K'kree don't work well in mixed parties (who can hold a conversation with a Hiver? And it's really going to suck when the lone K'kree character gets sick and dies before the end of the first play session because there aren't any others around). Still though, I've often toyed with the idea of an all K'kree party (Badass vegetarians of doom!!) or of a Hiver in the party who understands Galanglic and mutely does his job exceedingly well. Like a really good engineer who's a Hiver.

'Bob' the Hiver: "......."
(Turrets come back online)
Captain: "Thanks Bob!"
(The humans named him Bob because they will never learn the pheromones and hand gestures that are his true name)
