Greetings, fellow sapient. l'm Professor Starymaple of the University of Zacania. I have compiled this treatise on intelligent races, and offer it for your greater edification. In it are listed most of our brother races who reside in Second Empire space. It is my hope that this presentation will promote better understanding of our fellow beings, their strengths and their weaknesses, and hasten the day when we will walk, crawl, fly and swim in greater harmony. If you should encounter a new sapient race, or perhaps discover a hitherto unknown ability of a known race, please communicate with me care of the University of Zacania. May you learn something new every day. —Professor Starymaple University of Zacania 4222 (Preface to Terran Edition)
From the Acknowledgments:
"Many of the races in this Spacefarer's Guide - fourty-five to be exact -
were directly inspired by works of science fiction. I am happy to
acknowledge these sources, which are listed below. All are excellent
resources for the SFRP gamer."
