GURPS Space campaign setting

Now that I have some notion of FTL worked out, I'm ready to move on and sketch out another aspect of the universe; races. I want to keep things rolling.

I won't borrow any major races from Traveller, as I don't want my universe to look too much like the OTU. I think I may borrow a couple of the minor races, however.

Someone mentioned bwaps, so I looked them up. HILARIOUS! Initially, I worried they would be too anthropomorphic, but they really aren't. The psychology and physiology are interesting and well written. I like their obession with order and love for bureaucracy.

I'm thinking the bwaps will have a retrotech civilization, with starships and punch card computers. Probably organized into bureaucratic states.

As I said earlier the Memer & Saret, and the Pachekki will be included. Of all the species from GURPS Aliens, I thought those two fit in the best. I rejected the ''rubber suits'', psionics, furries, and near-human types out of hand[ not that all the races weren't well done- some just don't feel right for this particular universe].
