This is a partial listing of the many races that live within the Third Imperium.


Demographic Data Table: 1105[edit]

Significant populations of the following sophont races reside within this polity:

Imperial Sophont Demographics (Populations 10+ billion)
Race Population Type Remarks
Humaniti 015 trillion Major Race (Various)
  • Imperial Man
Humaniti is the dominant species on the many thousands of systems and worlds within the Third Imperium and while most humans are of Solomani, Vilani, or mixed ancestry, literally dozens of other races and sub-species of humans exist: Minor Human Races, Human Chimerae, Variant Races, ethnic groups, and nearly every other possibility imaginable. Humans are a prolific species and can be found in large numbers throughout vast tracts of both the Third Imperium and Charted Space.
Suerrat 359 billion Minor Human Race The Suerrat are a prolific race of hairy humans with atavistic (ape-like) features and a powerful, well-developed space empire prior to being conquered by the Vilani. Their great numbers, wealth, and prosperity still make them a powerful force within the Imperium.
Lancians 235 billion Minor Human Race The Lancia or Lancians are a minor human race conquered by the Vilani whose culture has long been repressed. Other than their background and culture, they physically resemble baseline genetic humans in almost every way.
Vegans 155 billion Non-Human Race The Vegans are a strange human-like race of arid, low-gravity, near-vacuum desert-dwellers. Their communal culture with its distinctive tuhuirs has long baffled human observers. Their society and space empire has long been a crossroads and pawn between larger major races.
Syleans 119 billion Minor Human Race The Syleans are genetic humans with a powerful spirit and ambition. Their cultural achievements form a solid cornerstone of the Imperium and one of their own was reputed to be the founder of the Third Imperium. Cleon I has been reported of Solomani-Vilani ancestry, while others record his heritage as pure Sylean. The religion, philosophy, and trade instincts of the Syleans are widely considered second to none, while maintaining a mysterious spiritual aspect that few non-Syleans ever seem to fully grasp.
Luriani/Roryniar 104 billion Minor Human Race The Luriani are an enigmatic race of humans, adapted to a semi-aquatic life. Their flexible culture has allowed them to prosper, even while under foreign yokes. Some attribute it to luck or serendipity, but the Luriani know better.
Kaggushus 092 billion Minor Human Race The Kaggushus are powerful, genetically-engineered humans, with a long record of ground combat prowess. Their homeworld has long played an important role in Imperial history and their culture has long been repressed.
Sigka 090 billion Non-Human Race The Sigka are an aquatic minor race known for their wide-ranging trade missions and advanced technological prowess. As an aquatic proto-species, they were known for great piscinoid aggregates that shoaled and schooled together and their society cooperates and collaborates with each other in ways that other species can only marvel at...
Darmine 076 billion Minor Human Race The Darmine are a minor human race, which has little variance from the human genetic baseline including interbreeding capability. Their culture has long been rebellious and has ever since been tracked by the Imperial authorities.
Aslan 073 billion Major Race The Aslan are a young and powerful race of felinoid-like sophonts, united in spirit, but not in temporal power. Their often quarreling empire, the Aslan Hierate lies rimward and many Aslan have settled into the Imperium as refugees and exiles with a long and proud record of dedicated and loyal service.
Lurent 070 billion Non-Human Race The Lurent are a mysterious, nomadic species with a unique planetoid starship design, a penchant for trading, and a wanderlust second to none. Few know much about the Lurent and they like it that way.
Geonee 065 billion Minor Human Race Shorter dwarf-like humans who developed on a heavy gravity, geologically unstable world, which gave them incredible strength and a powerful penchant for taking risks. Their space empire was developing when the Vilani conquered them. Geonee society has always had a rebellious streak as well as a number of well-kept secrets.
Bruhre 060 billion Non-Human Race The Bruhre are massive hexapods accustomed to a sulfur-tainted atmosphere and an exotic biochemistry, largely incompatible with mainstream Humaniti and sophontdom. Their culture is extremely complex, and intolerant of outside ways. However, they have keen scientific and philosophical insights that still motivate researchers to overcome their intolerance to learn their insights despite being isolated from mainstream Imperial culture...
Selenites 060 billion Variant Human Race The Selenites are human beings, geneered to survive in the microgravities of space habitats. They have experienced explosive population growth and their numbers now make them a force to contend with.
Llyrnians 050 billion Non-Human Race The Llyrians or "Devils" are a strange, trisymmetrical, digging species adopted by and allied to the Geonee. Their zero-G combat aptitude make them some of the most capable ship-to-ship fighters ever known.
Vargr 042 billion Major Race The Vargr are an enormously adaptive race, capable of fitting in anywhere. As a variant race, they have some racial insecurities, but one of their biggest concerns is whether the Third Imperium will ever fully integrate them into their society.
Answerin 040 billion Minor Human Race The Answerin are baseline humans with little genetic variation, while their culture sets them greatly aside. Their powerful psychological sciences help them conquer fear in unparalleled ways. They are fatalistic in one aspect and supremely self-confident in others. Their service as mental health specialists and, oddly enough, fearless mercenaries is in high demand throughout Charted Space.
S'mrii 028 billion Non-Human Race The S'mrii are an enigmatic alien race of insectile centauroids with a long history of loyal and dedicated service to the Imperium. The history of their ancient culture is studded with great tragedies and even greater technological achievements.
Nenlat 024 billion Non-Human Race The Nenlat are a strange trisymmetrical race of amphibianoids known for their strong tastes for adventure and exploration. Their technological aptitude makes them commonplace on tramp freighters, interface starships, and exploration teams throughout Charted Space.
Dolphins 020 billion Non-Human Race Dolphins, an aquatic species and variant race from Terra, were brought by the Solomani to interstellar space. They have prospered ever since and their keen astrogational skills are in high demand.
Ziadd 017 billion Minor Human Race The Ziadd are a minor human race with atavistic Neanderthal-like characteristics. Their dynamic culture and keen mercantile instincts have made them famous throughout the Imperium.
Llellewyloly 015 billion Non-Human Race The "Dandies" are a finicky bunch of non-humanoid sophonts with a near-unique biology, full of complex social rules that make it hard for outsiders to join their society. Their unique outlook allows them to see many problems "outside of the box", which has led to some remarkable technological innovations. Much of their society is still blanketed in mystery despite centuries of interaction with Humaniti.
Chirpers 015 billion Non-Human Race Chirpers are a simple apolitical race of pet-like sophonts that some suspect are proto-sophonts, primitive versions of the Droyne, or possibly even related to the Ancients. They might be simple babes in the woods or they could be a species far more devious...
Bwaps 010 billion Non-Human Race The Bwaps are an amphibious, newt-like species dependent on moist air humidity, who are an ubiquitous part of nearly every institution, bureaucracy, and paperwork processing organization throughout the greater Third Imperium. Their regenerative automy ability is well-known (...they can regenerate entire limbs), but their secret experiments into Psychohistory are only rumored at. The mild unassuming image of a Bwap functionary is portrayed throughout the popular media, but what other secrets do these master bookkeepers hold?
Kirissukyoya 010 billion Non-Human Race The Kirissukyoya a strange trisymmetrical race of starfaring merchants. Their race was known for high quality merchandise throughout Deneb Sector until internal differences led to a global war which devastated Kiri civilization. They are still re-learning and re-gaining their former glories after a devastating conflict in which the Droyne mysteriously intervened. Observers still ponder why the normally reclusive Droyne intervened...
Tahavi 010 billion Non-Human Race The Tahavi were the first non-human race encountered by the Vilani and their early exposure to a sophisticated technological race has greatly benefited them. They have developed into a powerful race of starfaring merchants despite being an aquatic race greatly hampered in trade with terrestrial walkers...
