The Drilvar are long-limbed, lethargic mammalian bipeds, known for their laid-back and relaxed attitude. Their fur pattern is a flashy orange, with black stripes. Their driving philosophy is that decisions and deeds should only be reached through careful consideration; it is this attitude that leads to their reputation as unreliable, compounded by other races deriding them as slow to react under pressure. Their slow metabolic rate is at the heart of this issue, which is part of why their city design is unusually compact. Drilvar don't like to go far from their homes for activities, which makes attending diplomatic processes a drawn-out affair. The Drilvar are best known for their legal services, with their attorneys becoming renowned across the Federation for their knowledge of galactic law across numbers of jurisdiction. Their law schools feature sprawling campuses with dizzying verticality due to the inclusion of branch-like structures at various heights to hang from. The Drilvar Kritocracy reflects their reliance on codified statutes and systems through rule by the planet's highest judges.

As mentioned with the Krakotl, avian species are a rarity. The second and final other bird race in the galaxy are the Duerten, who are known for their long, curved bills. Most have dull, gray feathers, which adapted to blend in with the often-stormy skies on their homeworld. The monsoon season on their planet can result in extreme weather pattern. The Duerten Homogeneity actively encourage uniform thinking, and discourage individual ideas. Their collectivism is unique even among Federation species, as they only show their true personalities among close friends and in the privacy of their homes. The Duerten are key producers of support ships, while never playing a leading military role themselves.

The Farsul are best known for their historians, and creating standardized education curriculums for all prey species. They chair the Federation's Archaeological Committee, though their excavations often involves studying the ways a species' ancestors were hunted. They also maintain various museums and the Galactic Archives. The Farsul also were one of the lead species in observing Earth back in the 20th century. The "scholarly" research done on humanity, and the dossier of our wartime atrocities, was largely their handiwork. For this reason, they are critical of Terran diplomacy. The Farsul States are a gerontocracy, which means they are led by any elders who are considered wise or accomplished. Their government is more decentralized than most unified planets. The day-to-day affairs on the local level are controlled by an elder from that region. The Farsul are bipeds, but with their stout paws and curved hindlegs, they struggle with traction and balance. They have a variety of fur colors; while brown in the predominant gene, anything from white to charcoal gray exists. Their floppy ears are reminiscent of a cocker spaniel's to human observers.

The Fissan Compact exploded onto the scene as a trading power in the last century. The newer species did not shy away from the trading war with the Nevoks, undercutting their prices and swiping deals at every turn. The rival Nevok Imperium has lobbied accusations of corporate espionage at the Compact, but the Fissans insist that they merely engineer the technology cheaper. The Fissans have a single horn at the top of their heads, with a hearty mane covering their necks. Humans are quick to draw comparisons to mythical unicorns, though the Fissans do not have hooves. Their whinnying vocalizations reinforce such parallels.
