* SpaceNomads: The Akaraks, due to catch-22 of GC bureaucracy and their unique non-oxygen breathing. Harmagians' colonization destroyed their homeworld, yet GC refused to terraform any existing planet for their home. Exodan humans count too since even though the Aandrisks gave them a star to orbit around, there's no planet or anything large enough to settle in the system.
Added DiffLines:
* StarfishAliens: Most of the encountered species. Akaraks can't even survive on oxygen, unlike others, while Harmagian looks like a small blob. Both of them are far smaller than other species and rely on technology to move around and survive in environments not designed for them. Quelins have exoskeletons and walk on their many legs, while the Toremi walk on four legs and have thin heads. Laru are covered in thick fur, have long neck, and can easily walk on all four limbs or two as needed.

** Using tunnels (wormholes) to travel interstellar distances is mentioned as an alternative to "FTL", which is possible but illegal due to the time travel implications. However, as far as physics is concerned wormhole tunnels already constitute time travel. In simple terms: if you have locations A and B one light year apart, and you go from A to B instantly, then you can see yourself a year in the past by looking back at A. You probably don't need information theory to see some of the problems this poses for causality.

* TheEmpire: Harmagians used to enslave other species to enrich their vast empire. Ironic considering their body are so fragile outside water that they rely on motorized carts for movement and have to regularly moisturize their skin so they can breathe, they even prefer laboriously move through a path from bottled water when the cart breaks since other species lifting them can risk poisoning through the trace of soap and fragrance.

On the other hand, the Akarasks bitterly withdrew their application to GC which went nowhere after nearly two centuries of bureaucracy due to their short lifespan (diplomats keep dying before reaching an agreement) and unique non-oxygen-breathing nature (even well-traveled GC citizens though sapience is impossible without oxygen), their homeworld is no longer habitable due to Hamargian colonization, yet GC's own regulation prevents them from terraforming another planet for the Akarasks. The GC is also willing to turn a blind eye to Quelin's use of penal labor and tried to open contact with violent aliens in return for precious resources [[spoiler: though they later abandon the approach after violent skirmishes]].
