The Hivers Should Worry You . . . Openly cooperative, apparently pacifistic, reportedly cowardly, the starfish-shaped Hivers don't seem to be empire-building material – but they hold one in a secure grip. They won the only interstellar war they've fought after losing every battle, but with this most alien of the major races, looks almost always decieve. Inscrutable, patient, and subtle, the Hivers puzzle their neighbors more than they worry them. It should be the other way around. The Droyne Should Awe You . . . An insectoid race scattered across the Imperium like so many gypsies, the seemingly insignificant Droyne often fall beneath the notice of Humaniti . . . and most Humans are foolish enough to think it's their own choice. A series of puzzles in their history and culture suggests that huge secrets lurk behind the compound eyes of these tiny sentients . . . and that the most awesome of the major races may come in the smallest package. Ancient Answers Await! Alien Races 3 offers an expose on the Ancients themselves, and examines in detail the biology, homeworlds, culture, and society of the enigmatic Hivers and cryptic Droyne. Included are racial and career templates, sample equipment and starships, Ancient artifacts, and much more. This book also includes a set of 36 Droyne "coyns" and instructions for predicting the future and making decisions, Droyne style. Two new minor races are presented here as well: \* The Inheritors, a race of fluorine-breathers living on the shell of an ancient Dyson sphere and "improving" on the technology left behind; \* The Lithkind, a nocturnal species for which mating means death and death means rebirth, and who treat the opposite sex as taboo!

Aliens Everywhere! Enough aliens to fill a cantina! GURPS Traveller: Alien Races 4 brings 16 strange species to life. Compiled and edited by Loren Wiseman and Steve Jackson, this book features the creations of several favorite Traveller authors, including Phil Masters, David Pulver, and David Thomas. Here you'll meet: \* The winged Ael Yael, nearly destroyed by greedy Humaniti, now finding their place in the galaxy. \* The bureaucratic Bwaps, faithful administrators through three Imperiums . . . but they have their own agenda, and few suspect how decisively they can act on their own. \* The huge Virushi, calm and nonviolent . . . until they're pushed too far. \* The newest species to be recognized as sentient, the aquatic Schalli. Will these brilliant, ambitious carnivores be our allies in a hundred years – or our rivals? \* And a dozen others!
