Alien Races
In Shatterzone there are three classes of race: Citizens, which only Humans, Glahns, and Ishantras have the right to become; Allied, which consist of races who have signed nonaggression pacts with the Consortium, but which have no rights to representation; and Hostile/Unidentified, which are considered suspicious and are treated with caution.
- Glahns - one of the three ruling races in the galaxy, blue skinned humanoids organized into clans
- Ishantras - another ruling race, bipedal aliens who lost their homeworld in an ancient cataclysm
- Armagons - an incredibly powerful alien empire of various races which rule from beyond the Shatterzone, pillaging and destroying one world after another
- Yithras - a violent race whose bodies emanate chill rather than warmth
- Kestarians - primitive four-armed matriarchical humanoids
- Rednas - reptilian humanoids whose pre-spacefaring civilization is prized for its metalwork.
- Veronians - shapeshifters from an unidentified homeworld
- Reavers- aggressive humanoids allied with the Armagons as shock troops
