The Tide Will Return (Space, Nation, Fantasy)

In the chaotic times following the Black Year, many species saw drastic changes on many fronts. Some saw changes in physiology, many in culture, and all felt a decline in technological capability. Ancient machines became previous artifacts. Ship construction has never been the same, with techniques and technologies used in construction lost to the vast death wrought by the Scourge. In the waking weakness of infrastructure and economy, mighty, large empires fell and fractured. Many more rose from the ashes in the following peace.

@ZxyxZemon we also have a discord server, if you're interested.

More sovereignties coming soon. Probably some more races to go with them.

Crakopon

Crakopon

General Description: This crustaceous species is the perfect example of carcinisation. Covered in organic armor and with large pincers, this species is responsible for much of the manual labor in the Cosmic Empire. They have multiple eyes in sometimes obvious, sometimes discreet places, offering them a full field of vision. Mostly silent, each gathering of Crakopon form a collective brain, communicating with each other via chemical and electrical means through the water.
Notable Abilities: Silent communication, powerful physicality, strong armor.
Sapient, Sentient: Sapient, collectively sentient
Average Physicality: Very tough, very strong. Capable of cutting steel with tools designed to reinforce their claw's edge. Capable of lifting a car individually.

Humans

Humans

General Description: A species of mammal that stand upright on two legs and bear two arms, with a head on top of the central torso and abdomen. They've typically got hair on top of their heads, two eyes over a nose over a mouth, and sometimes inherit genemods from before the Black Year. Various tails and modified ears are common. After so long, it's commonly thought of as just another thing people can inherit.
Notable Abilities: As mammals, their bodies are tough and durable, and healthy humans have a reasonable power to weight ratio that can be driven to a higher class with enough hard work. Combined with a highly variable intelligence, humans are able to create great works and machines, even with one individual.
Sapient, Sentient: Sapient and Sentient
Homeworld, Sector: Terra, West Sector

O'rglan

O'rglan

General Description: A cephalopodus species with anywhere between 6 and 20 tentacle limbs, and a wide range of default colors. They are capable of limited camouflage, usually within a certain deviation range of their default coloration. They feature four eyes in a wide, linear, forward-facing arrangement, no nose, and a mouth underneath their bodies. To communicate, however, they vibrate water with their gills, creating sounds for communication. In this way, they are able to approximate human speech.
Notable Abilities: A species with typically intelligent individuals, their tentacles are individually weak. They are very agile in the water, though not incredibly fast, able to quickly change direction and reach their maximum speed. They will sometimes wear fins or flippers on their tentacles to swim even faster. The suckers on their limbs give them gripping power, besides wrapping around objects.
Sapient, Sentient: Sapient and Sentient
Average Physicality: On average, each individual limb is weaker than a human's, but they make up for this lack of individual strength with the number of limbs. With appendages being potentially quite numerous, weak individual limbs isn't normally an issue. This species also features a hard shell, sometimes with external bits that act as armor, though these bits have been getting smaller, historically.

Man, this is a lot of work. Time to write up three races.

Four. Humans.

The Tide Will Return (Space, Nation, Fantasy)

Nations are optional. I suppose ships are, too, strictly speaking.
