The Alterran race is actually a higher evolution of human kind. While they do have something to do with tampering in the origins of humanity, Alterrans are not human. They have advanced evolutions in the genetic code which give them a variety of abilities such as telepathy, telekineses, pyrokinesis, energy transference, healing powers, manifestation abilities, energy manipulation powers, field enhancement abilities and even self healing power. They are a remarkable people.
Human SID: Homo Sapien
Typical Human Female
The Human Race is a lesser evolution of the Alterran people, though not looked down upon. In the late 2100s, the Alterran Race underwent a genetic enhancement program which gave them the higher powers. Humans originated on planet Earth and have higher thinking abilities. They are bipedal natively, just like Alterrans.
Unlike Alterrans, Humans do not have powers and it is harder, but not impossible, for them to ascend.
Asuran SID: Ecellens Mecha
Deputy Chancellor Shia Mau, Asuran Female
The self-replicating nanites that would eventually become the Asurans were created by the Alterrans on the world of Asuras, as a weapon against the Krenim. As they grew in numbers and sophistication, they assumed the form of their creators. The Alterrans programmed the Asurans with an aggression rivaling that of their enemies, but when they determined that the Asurans would never become the weapons they desired, they ceased their experiment and offered the sophisticated weapons full citizenship.
Cylon SID: Altior Mecha
Two Centurions and Caprica Six, Avatar
The Cylons were cybernetic mechanized infantry that the Alterran military designed to fight the Cyrodians in the first Alterran-Andalusian war.They were a crude creation at first, but over time have become effective, highly skilled, highly trained soldiers of unbelievable accuracy and deadly efficacy.

Ordinal SID: Ludo Usum
Tiera of the Ordinal
The Ordinal race have been exploring the cosmos for nearly 345,000 years. They have no home planets, but have been living on ships in space for all of this time.

While their massive ships now orbit Alterran planets, they tend to still prefer to live in space on their colony ships. This is common practice for the Ordinal culture.
Archon SID: Ascendio Ecellens
Empress Raven Claw, Supreme Archon
The Archons are the predecessor race to the Alterrans. They were the race that learned ascension first and have been around for many millenia. The Archon race is invulnerable and extremely powerful.

Astorian SID: Proprius Spiritus
Dr. Manhattan, the most famous Astorian
The Astorian people and the Archons are actually related as their species acheived different levels and means of ascension.

Wraith SID: Ancien Rucari
Chancellor Tod Manith
The Wraith are a species that evolved from the ancient ancestors of the Alterrans, the Eden and a predatory insect that extracted life energy from it's prey to survive. They are super strong, fast, and dangerous. The palm of their hand is where they feed, so it is wise to avoid getting too close to that. Originally enemies of the Empire, the Wraith and Alterrans came to an agreement whereby the Wraith became citizens of the Empire, earning the full rights and benefits thereof.
Ooud SID: Ooud Dirati
Chancellor of Ooudsphere

The Alterran Archons set to work moving the Sarabien HomeWorld from Andromeda's environment to a stable star in the Eden Galaxy.
The Sarabiens are known for their unique technology, their shiny metallic skin, and their ability to breath in zero oxygen environments. They are among the only space faring races to not use an enclosed structure.
They have wormhole surfing technology...literally.
Barrion SID: Verito Barius
Zambien Lullv
The Barrion people came to join the Alterran Empire after a civil war with the Krenim. The Barrion are actually the same race as the Krenim, but after the bitter break, they do not wish to be associated with the Krenim, even in name.

They tend to vote conservatively and tend to like protectionist actions over socially advancing ones.
Na'vi SID: Omata Caya
Yirota and Sirnie Poroun
The Na'vi are a race of sentient extraterrestrial humanoids who inhabit the lush jungle moon of Pandora. On the whole, the Na'vi are quite similar to humans, both in appearance and anatomically.

The Lycan people have even held the Chancellor's position twice in the past.
Malum SID: Ortri Seplan
President Lacir Milgia
The Malum are a race of dark and wicked creatures that were once slaves to the Ashen.

The Racnoss are a very old and powerful race that evolved from a species on Earth. During a planetary collision in Earth's past, a shard of the Earth with Racnoss DNA on it was thrown out into space and landed on a planet 145 AU from the Sol System. They stand a towering 15 feet tall and are very strong. Their tough exoarmor is better at deflecting projectile weaponry than any polymer ever made. Among their primary reasons for expansion is their ravenous hunger. They will eat anything that comes in their path provided that it is not agreeable to them. It was surprising for the Alterrans to take them on as a race,but the Racnoss and the Alterrans have gotten along rather nicely.
Jin Wel SID: Intril Copab

Vashta Nerada SID: Vinci Swari
Vashta Nerada First Contact
The Vashta Nerada are microscopic carnivorous beings that live in swarms, thousands strong. The name literally means "the Shadows that melt the flesh". These swarms are able to strip a creature to its bare bones in milliseconds. They are often known as "piranhas of the air". While these swarms are not common, they inspired a fear of the dark in most species across the Universe, since any shadow could be made of Vashta Nerada. Despite being microscopic as individuals, Vashta Nerada swarms are sentient and two spacesuit-inhabiting swarms developed the ability to communicate through the spacesuits' Communication Device. They were also able to coordinate their efforts and make the spacesuits walk, though only with some difficulty, and could walk slowly in a 'zombie-like' fashion. The Vashta Nerada live on almost every planet which has organisms with meat. They are born as microscopic spores in trees and live their lives in forests normally. It is said that they are able to hatch and form into a swarm in minutes.
