1. The Dorfmen – these are humanoids, very similar to Terrans with no discernable physical differences. They are usually athletic looking and not unattractive, although their hard living takes a toll on their bodies. Numerically, they are the largest group on Byzatium.<Br> | 1.

2. The Omunics – these beings’ original form is shrouded in mystery. They are masters of bio-engineering, and have transformed themselves by reconstructing their DNA, and then grafting on mechanical body parts to the resulting cocktail. They have also expanded their experiments onto unwilling test subjects. Most Omunics wear long cloaks from head to toe, with only the occasional glimpse of a muscled arm, claw or metallic limb showing from beneath the cloth. The Omunics and the Dorfmen are mutually hostile, not helped by the former harvesting the latter as guinea-pigs for their warped science projects.<Br> | 2.

3. The Iauh, Toaij and Gnaij are three sister races of sentient, tri-pod ‘jelly fish’ beings who have strong psychic powers, and a grasp higher level technology. Although able to walk on land, they prefer wallowing in shallow warm pools under their domes of tranquility. Being of diploblastic cell structure, they are of little interest to the Omunics.<Br> | 3.
