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.

Fish^[22] were Non-sentient.

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]
