Vargr states tend to be short-lived, built around a cult of personality rather than a nation. The Vargr: Descended from Terran wolves uplifted by the Ancients, the Vargr are widely known for their obsession with personal charisma and their preference for raiding rather than building. This book shows the role of family and clan in K’Kree affairs, and why the K’Kree are the single greatest threat to Charted Space. On these worlds, the K’Kree have exterminated or domesticated all species of carnivore and have explicitly stated they intend to do the same to all meat-eating-races in Charted Space. The K’Kree: The Two Thousand Worlds of the K’Kree are almost entirely forbidden to meat-eating outsiders. Learn how the Hierate functions and why its young landless warriors are a threat to all nearby civilisations. The interplay between its many warrior clans can seem incomprehensible to outsiders, but there are strict rules of courtesy and deference governing every interaction. The Aslan: The Aslan Hierate lies to spinward of the Imperium and Solomani Confederation, with a long history of warfare and border tensions. The Aslan and the K’Kree, meanwhile, are polar opposites proud warriors and militant herd-creatures.This book contains rules for creating Travellers from each of these alien races, High Guard additions and new ships, and Central Supply Catalogue entries for their new equipment. Their well-ordered society is very different to the squabbling mini-states of the Vargr despite sharing a common Terran ancestry. These are the Zhodani, humans transplanted from Earth to develop in far-off Zhdant. Aliens of Charted Space Volume 1 details four spacefaring cultures, three of them alien and one curiously familiar.
