The galactic union is a union of six sentient species throughout the galaxy. All united through a common mindset and common set of ideals, and ofcourse, a common need for oxygen.
The Galactic union is was created to unite the six different races of the galaxy and to prevent conflict. As we have similar environmental and dietary requirements, this was considered to be a vital union in order to prevent possible conflict in the future.
As you may be unfamiliar with the other residents of the galaxy, we will introduce them briefly for you here.
Urian: Urians are a reptilian species from the planet of Saturan. They are commonly found to have light brown scaly skin although other colours are not unheard of. They’re evolutionary roots go back to Lizards and this can be seen in the shape of their heads and indeed, their cool blood. Compared to humans they have a low tolerance for cold, an adventurous outlook on life and a very keen sense of smell.
The Urians racing in X-1 are: Elli Nas Sogdo, Nihlus des Amanai, Nato Criffion, Tumus Des Akanau, Kira Duni and Nizio Faust.
Human: Humans come from the planet known as Gaia, some may still call the planet by it’s old name, but this is from before the humans joined the Galactic Union. Humans descend from apes and this is evident by their unpredictable and diverse nature. They come in various different shapes and sizes, not to mention pigmentations. They have fleshy skin and will often sport decorative crests of fur or “hair” atop their heads.
The Humans racing in X-1 are: Norbert Schweinsteiger, Santino Nuvolari, Benjamin Chen, Lucas Beckett, Ji Jin, Kasih Darma, Elizabeth Nightingale, Mikah Elinas and Hans Burg.
Huraki: The Huraki hail from the planet, Eretamustipi, and were the first species in the Galactic Union to travel the stars. The Huraki have evolutionary roots in amphibian kind, but they are not amphibious themselves. They have smooth white or grey skin and share many features with humans, apart from their lack of external facial features such as outer ears or a protruding nose, instead having ear holes and nasal slits respectively. They are a very calm and could be considered to be the most diplomatically minded of all the races, however all individuals are different so this may not always be the case. As a human you may have come across Huraki names and found them rather long daunting. However repetition is the key to memorisation.
Stolen from its rightful author, this tale is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.
The Huraki racing in X-1 are: Sommarrammos, Karranatos, Bannassaton, Issivvinni, Vissinnitipi and Illirriya
Nkurd: The Nkurd are a four armed species hailing from Nkurdamus. The Nkurd are shorter than the average human normally standing up a human’s shoulder. Nkurd have black and white patchy skin and a long predatory head with many sharp teeth. The Nkurd have an evolutionary history unique to its planet and cannot be equated to a human or Gaia equivalent. In mentality Nkurd are similar to the other races, but can be known to have quick reflexes and a short attention span; perhaps it is this coupled with their extra pair of arms that make them such formidable racers.
Nkurd are known to have complex names that are hard to pronounce, but do not despair human, the other races find them challenging as well. Indeed our commentator for X-1 Fero Vettin has been seen rehearsing the pronunciation of some Nkurd names many times.
Nkurd drivers that race in X-1 are: Kuthmananga, Yildamik, Tleriont, Thleshton, Hashtiget, Ngantfi and Aflkin
Oiyan: Commonly referred to as the people of Oiya are an aquatic species. They can survive on land but due to their slender frames struggle to survive in a high gravity environment. Compared to humans, they are very tall with long necks and large eyes; perhaps to help see in the depths of their oceans. Oiyans are a very peaceful species and would seldom ever resort to violence.
Oiyans can integrate into the wider Galactic society, but due to their lack of resistance to forces such as X-1 levels of G-force, there are no X-1 pilots of this species, however, the X-1 team, Tan Gia is operated and owned by Oiyans
Pala: The Pala are a large, heavy set race from the planet Niith. Pala when standing are not much taller than a human, however are three times the weight and many times the strength. They stand hunched over and have thick grey, brown or green skin. Their home planet is very oxygen rich which has allowed them to grow large. Without correct acclimatisation, Pala may require artificial breathing assistance on some other worlds. The oxygen rich environment of their ancestry has also left imprinted on each of them a strong sense of fear and caution when regarding fire and potential ignition.
Pala do not race in X-1, due to them being too large and heavy to be competitive. However there are many Pala in other roles within teams.

X-1 is one of the many sports and events that is played on a galactic level, these events unite us and keep us together with a shared sense of fair competition.
The X-1 driver, Yildamik put it best: “We’re all a part of this galaxy and we need to spread more love to one another. I’ve been all around the galaxy and everywhere I go there are fans, no matter what species, beliefs or whatever... X-1 is something that unites us all.”
