A species was a group of living organisms capable of interbreeding. The galaxy and its many planets were teeming with diverse species, with members of a species sharing a fixed set of observable biological characteristics. Some species were sentient, capable of intelligent thinking, while others were not,[1] with more than twenty million sentient species in the galaxy.[2]
Biology
Physiology
Species whose body plan resembled that of humans were referred to as humanoid.[3] Species included humans,[4] near-humans[5] and aliens.[6] According to Lugubrious Mote, most sentient species in the galaxy were about the same size, ranging in height between about half a meter to three meters.[7]
Classification and Intelligence
Classification of species included amphibians,[8] birds,[9] felines,[10] insects,[11] mammals,[12] mollusks,[13] reptiles,[14] reptomammals,[15] rodents,[16] snakes,[17] and spiders.[18]
Kindalo[19] and drengir[20] were plant[21] based sentient species.
Wirutid[11] were a fungus based sentient species.
Some species like the Zillo Beast,[23] Purrgil[24] and Mairan[25] were Semi-sentient.
Life cycle
Reproduction was how species created new life.[26]
Necessities
Species breathed oxygen,[27] methane and ammonia.[28] They needed to breathe,[29] drink water,[30] eat food[31] and sleep.[32]
Vulnerabilities
Species were not capable of surviving in the vacuum[33] of space (except for some species) or underwater[34] (except for amphibians), and were vulnerable to cosmic radiation,[35] poisons,[36] toxins,[37] diseases[38] and could die.[39]
