  • 2. The K'kree: Militant herbivores determined to exterminate all meat-eaters, the K'Kree make bad neighbors. A particularly aggressive faction, the Lords of Thunder, has carved out an empire in a neighboring sector, and they have only one direction to expand into …
  • 3. The Solomani Confederation: Determined to hit the Imperials wherever they can, the Solomani have sent ships into Gateway. Their agents find fertile ground among the independent worlds.
