Imperium Galactica - Alien Races

Alien Races

Alliance of Free Traders (AFT): "Once part of the Old Empire, the traders left to create a new empire for themselves. They are a peaceful race of traders and enjoy good relations with Ychoms."

• Human race
• Colour: dark blue
• Map location: centre middle
• Special vehicle: Behemoth Tank
• It is most unlikely that they will expand. With the smallest number of colonies (3), they are the weakest. If the player spends a lot of time with the Garthogs, they will likely die. In this case there is no opportunity to make contact with them.

Dargslans: "Very little is known about the Dargslans. Intelligence reports show that they have extremely powerful ground attack forces, as well as a competent space fleet."

• Colour: dark green
• Map location: top middle
• Special vehicle: Auto-Repair Tank
• Expand by invasion, not colonization. Although Auto-repair tanks are pretty tough, they rarely deploy them in volume. The main Dargslan ground advantage seems to be an uncanny ability to deploy all their forces right in front of yours at the start of a battle.

Dribs: "The Dribs are a proud race, with advanced knowledge of mechanics and architecture. They have known of the Dargslan race for a long time, since the Dargslans occupied some Drib territory."

• Colour: purple
• Map location: top left
• Special vehicle: Paralyzing tank
• Start very close to human colonies and are boxed into a corner. Very slight Human expansion normally causes them to attack planets like Earth.

Ecaleps: "With the rapid expansion of their empire, tax revenue has increased to a very high level. This partially explains their obsession with money..."

• Colour: light green
• Map location: bottom right - the Ecalep' empire can be find in the outskirts of the Andromeda galaxy
• Special vehicle: Anti-missile tank (immune to Rocket Sled attacks)

Free Nations Society (FNS): "Once part of the Old Empire, they declared themselves independent a long time ago. The Free Nations Society has developed rapidly, occupying territories with ease. The Society is well known for their arrogant attitude and contempt for the Empire."

• Human race
• Colour: medium blue
• Map location: centre right (the FNS controls the Magellanic clouds in the outer rim of the milky-way galaxy)
• Special vehicle: Behemoth Tank

Garthogs: "The Garthogs are a contemptible and un-trustworthy race, who implant their young with bio-mechanical devices. They have a special interest in mechanics and are renowned for stealing the technology of other races. It is rumored that they destroyed an entire race, known as the Nubs, to obtain their secrets. The Garthog Empire is close to the Human Empire and there has been conflict for 10 years."

• Colour: red
• Map location: centre bottom
• Special vehicle: Radar Jammer (disables your radar in battle)
• Aggressive early in the game.

Morgarths: "The Morgarths are an insular and hostile race...."

• Colour: white
• Map location: bottom left
• Special vehicle: Kamikaze tank

Sulleps: "The Sulleps are a warlike race with a very strict social structure. From a very young age, Sulleps are subjected to military training. Such is their code of combat, it is more honourable for them to die in battle than surrender. "

• Colour: Yellow
• Map location: bottom middle
• Special vehicle: Mobile artillery
• May be aggressive early in the game unless they attack the Morgaths first. They favour ground combat. Starts with the joint largest number of colonies (10, joint with Dargslans).

Ychoms: "A peaceful trader race that enjoys good relations with Alliance of Free Traders..."

• Colour: cyan
• Map location: centre left
• Special vehicle: Mine-laying saucer
• Vessels are weak, planetary defenses fairly strong.
