For those who don't have the books yet a quick over view of the races of Hellas

Amazoran

2m tall blue skinned race. Unlike most of the other sapient life in the known worlds the Amazoran are female dominated, with the men being subserviant in most areas of life to there female counterparts. They are highly militaristic, with full rights only being given to those who serve in the military.

Gorgan

A race of powerfully built serpent people, they have the upper body similar to Hellens and the lower of a great snake (up to 4ms long). They are considered loud and crude by Hellens (although not to their faces). There society is built on extended family units who work together to provide what they need.

Hellene

Currently the dominant force in the galaxy, the favored children of the gods, they are often seens as being overly haughty as they believe it is their divine destiny to control the galaxy. The Hellenes have no central government instead each 'poleis(city-state but these can control whole planets or systems) governs its self, however it deems fit.

Kyklopes

2.5m tall and darkskinned, the most notable feature is their 'third eye' which is usual encased in crystal and floats around their head. It allows them to see far better than others can and infact most never use their natural eyes in favor of third one. Due to long, close contact with the Hellenes they have adopted most of their practices

Myrmidons

Not one living creature but in fact a hive of small insects that work together they have taken the forms of Hellens who they see as gods after the activities of the Hellens caused them to become sapient.

Nephelai

A mysertious race who keep much about themselves hidden from outsiders, they seem to be ageless with no young or old Nephelai being seen. Physically they stand between 2m and 4m high, with blue-ish grey skin and hair. There most striking feature are the wings which sprout from there back giving them the ability to fly.

Nymphas

The Nymphas are a androgynous race who's genders are hard to tell apart as both have shapely hips and mammary glands in fact they are actually two very closely related races the Oreads who are closer to earth, and the Neiads who are closer to water physically the two groups are different the Oreads stand only around 1.5m tall and tend toward having green or brown skin whereas the Neiads are closer to 2m and have green or black skin and hair and are have gills and webbed hands and feet.

Both branches share a similar disposition preferring to talk their way out of trouble or use there pheromones to influence others. They have very little in the way of Military or Political structures themselves and are thus valued as advisors in many courts as they are utterly in wider affairs neutral

Zintar

A small cephalopod race that in their natural form stands only .5m tall, there coloration varies between pink and purple, they have a roughly humanoid face, but instead of a more normal array of limbs they have between 4 and 10 'arms' they move well in water but clumsily on land.

To overcome this the Zintar have learned to fashion artificial bodies that can be customized to fulfill a wide range of functions, the Zintar social structures are generally pyramid shape with each Zintar acutely aware of their position and the time it will take to advance it. They frequently spend much time re-calculating this as it is in constant fluid state.

Zoran

Scyllan

Atlantean
