Ed's Notes: These are the inhabitants of the planet Slagg in the Vegan System. And, yeah, I'd like a better picture of one, but I couldn't find one. Lol

Ed's Notes: Interesting idea.  There are 88 Mental Powers listed in the 3rd Edition Rulebook. And I could DEFINITELY see a lot of possibilities for illegal black markets for Fluxsweep. NPC's that are normally pushovers could take their own product and randomly become formidable. PC's may even be tempted to experiment with it. I know that's not really the point of this race, but that's what I see.

Sindromeda is part of the Vegan System.

Ed's Notes: A lifeforms that evolved to live in the twilight band on the planet Rogue. Rogue's orbit is five years long and takes in both very close to Vega, at which point the surface is molted and volcanic, as well as very far away, at which point it's mostly a frozen wasteland.  The Roguians Force Field means that no one has ever SEEN one, including other Roguians.

Ed's Notes: OK, these guys are interesting. The occupants of Ogyptu, a planet in the Vega System, are giants that seem to exist on a different temporal plane than we do. Their perception of time passes so slowly that to us they appear to never move. And to them, even humans moving at normal speed occur as speeding blurs, barely perceived by them. And given all of this, no one have even figured out a way to communicate with them.

Oh... and Growth should probably also be "Always On."

Ed's Notes:
 
The SSlithiss are squid-like, sea dwelling creatures, one of three races that inhabit Karna, a humid, swamp-planet in the Vegan System. And no, that is NOT a picture of an actual SSlithiss, btw. I couldn't find one anywhere, so that's a picture i found searching for "squid-man" instead. Lol. If anyone HAS one (or even DRAWS one!) I'll gladly replace the pitcure shown above. lol

Ed's Notes:
 The inhabitant of Euphorix, a verdant tree-covered planet in the Vegan System, have taken to worshiping nature and learning the ways of Magic. Imagine a race that the average member of possesses the most sought-after Power in the DC Universe! The game does refer to them as "Euphorixians" as I've written above, but most of the actual comic book sources I've found called them "Euphorans." Just FYI.

 The planet of Emana Branx is without a doubt the most brutal in the Vegan System. It's covered in volcanoes and inhabited by the Branx... Who look like they should have...


 Power: Extra Limb (x2): 9

...?  Various weapons also seem appropriate.

Ed's Notes:
 Culacao is a primitive planet in the Vegan system. The Male inhabitants are basically primitive,somewhat felinal humans, while its female inhabitants resemble giant, snail-like creatures. (So... Culacaon sex is wierd, right?)

 The Citadel is the seat of a Fascist Empire in the Vegan System. The surface has harsh, perpetual winter-like environment. The Citadellians adapt to this or die.

 These folks could make for a very interesting discovery and side-quest, no? Changralyn in a gas giant in the Vegan System, BTW, who's atmosphere is fatal to any oxygen breathing race. Can the PC's find a way to wake them?

Ed's Notes:
 Inhabitants of the plant Aello, an Ice Planet in the Vegan System with a methane rich atmosphere. (Oxygen breathers who visit the surface unprotected are treated as having a Fatal Vulnerability to the air here.) I feel like the should also have the Cold Immunity Power?

Ed's Notes: So... If you been reading the past couple entries, you might be getting the idea that the Vegan System is like the really bad, ghetto neighborhood of the DC Universe. And for a "typical" anything, these guys can kick a LOT of ass.  A truly exceptional Okaaran?  That would be a site to behold (or run from.)

Ed's Notes: Another Oan creation that rebelled and turned evil. (Did they get ANYTHING right?! Lol.) Cruel, evil rivals for the Coluans, the Psions experiment on living beings. That (and their home-world in the Vega System) gives them a natural reason to ally themselves with the Gordanian neighbors.
