In the far future, earth is part of The Alliance of Planets. Officially there are 9 races that make up the Alliance, but unofficially there are 10.
Mercurians - Resembling the dwarfs of old with dark red skin, they are mechanics without peer. Their body is dense, giving them a bit more strength then what people think. Makes them tough and hardy.
Venetians - A matriarchal society, the men are no better then slaves. They are very warlike, and are some of the best fighters in the Alliance, but have issues with dealing with men as equals or taking orders from men. The males are not allowed to leave Venus.
Earthlings
Martians - Resembling the Elves of old, they are the artisans of the Alliance. Craftsmen without peer, and not shabby marksmen either.
Jupitarians - Tall, dark purple skinned, otherwise humanoid. They are able to survive extreme conditions. As a rite of passage they must 'surf' the eye of Jupiter. They are laid back and peaceful, with a 'surfer' like attitude.
Saturians (yes I know the names are not exactly creative) - A reptilian race, resembling humanoid cobras. Excellent stealth and infiltratators, they also have the regeneration ability of a reptile. Loosing a limb (besides the head) is hardly ever fatal, and the limb will grow back eventually.
Uranian - Crystalline life-form, made of what looks like ice..but it has the resistance and toughness more like diamond. They are masters at self defense and are as good at defense as Venetians are at offense. They are essentially immortal when it comes to how long they live, and never really stop growing. When they reach a certain size they join the others on pluto..essentially becoming living glaciers. The 'ancient Uranians are considered the unofficial race of the alliance.
Andromedians - The males are 9 foot tall, have six arms, and are light purple in color. They are rather slow and cumbersome, but do to a genetic oddity..their nerves do not transmit pain. It is almost impossible to hurt an Andromedian. They can be killed, but just never fight one hand to hand. The females are slightly smaller, and only have two arms.
In order to keep the peace, the Galaxy Rangers were formed. A combination military/police force, they have complete jurisdiction in the space between planets..and sometimes even on planets if criminals from other planets are present. As all the races have a different genetic makeup, they also have to pay attention for contraband, as something perfectly harmless to a Andromedian can kill a normal human.
Characters - Can be from any race in the Alliance except the ancient Uranians. They will be recent graduates from the Academy.
