Editing Andromeda (TV series) (section)

===Major races===
* Avatars of the Suns, humanoid forms of [[star]]s with great powers. They are immortal and can travel through time and space, affecting events and people as they wish.
* [[Human]]s make up about 70% of the Known Worlds population. Subspecies with minor genetic enhancements (like the Inari) are common.
* Kalderans, a xenophobic reptilian race that once rivaled the Vedrans. 
* Magog, a race of savage semi-intelligent alien killers, feared throughout the Known Worlds. The Magog have to kill and eat fresh meat to sustain themselves and to lay eggs in sentient beings to procreate.
* Nietzscheans, a group of superior humans who believed in self-improvement via [[genetic engineering]] and intense competition. They left Earth thousands of years ago and evolved into a separate subspecies (''Homo sapiens invictus'') that colonized many worlds throughout the galaxies. Nietzscheans are responsible for the Fall of the Systems Commonwealth; however, they failed to replace it with the Nietzschean Empire due to constant betrayals and conflicts between different Nietzschean Prides.
* Nightsiders, rat-like humanoids with poor vision, but highly developed hearing. Their reproductive cycle is very damaging to the environment, as their early larval stage is an aquatic creature that eats anything it comes across.
* Paradine, a highly evolved form of the Vedrans, who look like ordinary humans. The Paradine apparently had a special role in dealing with the Avatars of the Suns and the Route of Ages, but they are all but extinct now. 
* Perseids, a highly intelligent race of alien scientists and bureaucrats.
* Pyrian, a grotesque, tentacled orb like species who are one of the most powerful enemies of the Commonwealth.
* Than-Thre-Kull (Than), a tough and highly intelligent and civilized [[Insectoids in science fiction|insectoid]] race divided into various function-specific castes.
* Vedrans, the first intelligent race to discover the slipstream that connects the entire universe. The Vedrans went on to conquer the Known Worlds, building the Vedran Empire. The Empire was plagued by internal conflicts and eventually was peacefully transformed into the Systems Commonwealth.
