Featured Races
The X-Universe features several sentient species, some of which are yet to be seen in the games themselves.
- Human: Divided into three factions:
-
- Terran: Humans who were born in the Sol system.
- Argon: Humans who are descended from the remains of the fleet that lured the Terraformers through the gateway that saved Earth in the terraformer wars. The Argon government decided centuries ago that the pain of separation with Earth was best dealt with by changing the official version of history so that humans in the X-Universe believed they evolved in their current location.
- Goner: Argons who believe the legend of Earth and Nathan R. Gunne (who led the fleet that saved Earth), despite both being officially just a myth.
- Boron: A squidlike alien race that reveres their queen and love peace.
- Paranid: A three-eyed alien race that hail to their Xaar emperor and have a strict religion.
- Teladi: A reptilian alien race that worship trade and profits.
- Split: A tribal alien race that fight within themselves as much as they fight their enemies.
- Khaak: A buglike alien race that started war with the Argon in X²: The Threat. They decimated the sector now known as "President's End"
- Xenon: A self-replicating artificial intelligence evolved from the terraformers created by the Terrans in an effort to colonise worlds. Now hostile to all life, they destroy anything organic.

Famous quotes containing the word races:
“While the white man keeps the impetus of his own proud, onward march, the dark races will yield and serve, perforce. But let the white man once have a misgiving about his own leadership, and the dark races will at once attack him, to pull him down into the old gulfs.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
