Natives
They have a mind of their own and come and go as they please. If the
planet's natives like you they will move into your base and assist in your war
efforts. Natives can be transported from one planet to another using native life pods.
Around half of all planets have at least one native life form. A few planets
have several different types. Once in a while you will find a planet that has
all ten common native types. Natives will become displeased if a large number of
them are shipped out in native life pods. They hate orbital bombardment. If
another base is built on a planet that you have the base on and the natives like
that leader more than yourself the natives will leave your base and join the
other leaders base.
Sometimes the natives will fight among themselves. They have been known to
steal spacecraft. Chupanoids have been known to suck the blood of Gimpsoldals and
Bovinoids. The safer the natives feel, more likely they are to help you.
Chupanoid
In a word, trouble. Blood sucking, transdimensional psycokinetic monsters.
Can tunnel through the ground, fly, and pass through solid matter at will.

and sometimes are able to draw up enemy hull plans based on captured ships or
spy photos.

planets up three times the normal rate. Will sometimes mine for minerals on
their own and trade the ore for food.

Star ship engine specialists. They have the knowledge of building very
advanced ship engines. They can refit ships with more advanced propulsion systems.
SILICONOID

combat ordnance on their own for your use. Sometimes will manufacture torpedo
launch systems using their personal resources.
AMPHIBIAN
Beam weapon experts. They will sometimes manufacture beam weapon systems for
you when they are happy with your war efforts.
BOVINOID
They are very hard workers, are extremely productive and contribute large
sums of megacredits to a planet's tax base and ask for little in return.
