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

Famous quotes containing the words alien and/or races:
“Just kids! That’s about the craziest argument I’ve ever heard. Every criminal in the world was a kid once. What does it prove?”
—Theodore Simonson. Irvin S. Yeaworth, Jr.. Jim Bird, The Blob, responding to the suggestion that they not lock up the teens pulling the alien “prank,” (1958)
“While the white man keeps the impetus of his own proud, onward march, the dark races will yield and serve, perforce. But let the white man once have a misgiving about his own leadership, and the dark races will at once attack him, to pull him down into the old gulfs.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
