hmm Im getting intruiged by this multi racial thing...lots of creatures from minor races (hrud, kroot, demiurg, knib, lotaxl [sp?], donorian fiends, zoats, etc) and then some from the major races, stuff like eldar, orks, humans, tau (farsight mercenaries perhaps?)
I kinda like that idea..but make it very jabba the hutt gang like

An idea, space is a hge place, there are asteroid belt and all that, maybe a good place for a pirate base...maybe eldar pirates or some multi-racial pirate band..I like that idea. Kinda a star wars Jabba the Hut kinda gang, some pirate lord (some fancy guy) with some powerfull body guards as command (maybe an ork as bodyguard, a rogue human as advisor) lord_fenric from Portent suggested something similar for an 'outskirt' system to the Anargo subsector, and I was rather keen on the idea. First, it would conform to the concept of frontier-space. Second it is something that was mentioned in some of the earlier RT material. Thirdly, it also offers an interesting 'focus' (in terms of centralised activity if not the location of allgangs). There was also some suggest that it was supported by some of the nobilitas provincialis - even nobilitas imperialis - that operate within the sector as a way of bypassing the constraints of the adeptus terra...

Have a look at the frontier outpost on the border of "Lucky Space" in Ravenor. Not only is there flagrant dealing with all manner of sentient xenos, but the "Lucky Space" concept itself might be of interest to people working on the "cursed subsector" idea.

I shall do that when I can bring myself to spend that much money on GW products again... But thanks for the reference. Kage

Could you clarify more the idea of front-space here? Especially linking it to the fact that we seems agreed that Anargo is old (thus: core) sector, with even pre-Imperial and Great Crusade history, all old sub-sector capitals, etc?

According to GW, 'frontier space' or 'wildspace' is an area which is not within a subsector proper. Kage

Just my two cents, I've never been entirely comfortable importing races from anywhere: 'Space Skaven' as Hrud; 'Space Orcs' as, Orks; 'Space Dwarves' as Squats; 'Space Tomb Lords' as Necrons; the list goes on, including Borg, Sandworms, Jawas & Klingons to name a few more that have not *yet* been ganked.
That said, I also realize that there is only so much you can do without pulling your ideas from *somewhere*, and the generalized fantasy races (Orcs, Ogres, Elves, Halflings, Dwarves, Undead are the ones that come to mind immediately) have almost all been represented in 40k already. While I'm not entirely comfortable with the idea, I'm also open-minded enough to listen to well-thought-out and well-presented ideas. I'll try to refrain from bashing anyone, especially those with valid arguments for the case of the "imported" race.

The point is that an 'imported' race will be something which is sufficiently changed for the 40k universe such that it becomes more a focus of inspiration rather than a direct lift. Kage

I noticed some one mentioned squats and wasn't imediatly torn to shreds, does that mean the ASP is squat friendly of am i setting myself up for a fall here, i for one like the idea of a tolerated non(ab)human race more or less as advanced as the mechanicus and i could see them providing the kind of ships i'm looking for. *brace's for the pain of rejection and hide's behind sofa*

Well not quite the response i was looking for, but i want to know the position of ASP on squats this for me could be a life line in terms of ship building so i would like an answer, yes or no will do

Captain Stuart, I've only skimmed over the Godou .pdf, but so far so good. Are they your creation?
I'm wondering what kind of presence they would have in the Anargo sector, since they are located near T'au, have 23 worlds, most of which are only decades old. It doesn't sound as if they would reach this far to the galactic west.
I'm also a bit... amused to see how similar physiology these aliens have to humans. Average human height, average human weight, average human build, two sexes, reaching full size at 20 years (average for humans) and living to about 80 years (also average for humans)..

Would it not be strange to import a race that are basically the Tau into the ASP when we already have the Tau, admittedly just not in the sector at the time?

Their very nice, but allot like the Tau (expected, since they are Tau, placed into the Void universe ). However, their are a number of differences between the Tau and that article, you could pretty much make a completely new race with that.
