Fiction:Delpha Coalition of Planets/Political relations and influence/Neutral and other relations

Godcivilizations
Beyond even the First Ones are the lords of baryonic matter, and the Transapients, whose intelligence is as far as ours is from a plant. They can use entire galactic clusters like bricks, and have control over the forces of the universe. We have had very, very limited contact with the Transapients, and nearly all of them we couldn't comprehend, some in our view are as great as the Xhodocto. One, we know only as the Baryonic Lords, repelled the Xhodocto. Our ships have disappeared in their space. We dare not oppose them, as we would be like mere angry flies buzzing around their heads, if they have heads. Another, now seemingly vanished race are the Xyanxes, we have found relics of their awesome technologies, portals to the universe we found with the Pepis, Spore Henge that leads to 11 dimensions and even universal wormholes. Our great warlord, Kilnok has also been captured by entities from our future, who know thmselves as the Big Collective Consciousness, they appear to be on our side, but are attempting to bend out timeline into their reality. Finally, there are the Thirteenth Tribe, ancients of the Cyrannus galaxy, they have left behind a functioning Ringworld which we inhabit with the URC and CAS.
 * Basic info: Tier 0
 * Threat assessment: Beyond our scope.

AI Netspace in general
The Singularity was totally unexpected, "The Civilization"'s infrastructure of dyson swarms and matrioshaka brains became self-aware, powerful intelligences. They awoke much older, dormant AI's who's intelligence dwarfed even there's. We have experienced small singularities, but these massive machines compute using the stars and other objects themselves. They have tremendously more processing power than any computer we have constructed, and the difference between the mass of stars and the mass of brains put our intelligence in perspective. Some, have great power over the unierses laws, pushing them to the extreme, other AI's are only self-orientated, some view life as a hindrance that must be exterminated according to the Girdo Empire who contacted them. Some AI personalities are friedly, such as our Guide Star. We think the presence of the AI's will really change the face of the Gigaquadrant in times to come, indeed it has sparked a rise in our own Postsapient population eager for a taste of the Technoosphere, something, along with our Guardian AI's could really help us. However, some AI's just do not ackowledge us as important, or even seek to destroy life, we must be wary of the potential threats. We think the AI's are not quite omnipotent however.
 * Basic info: Tier 1/0, Tier 0
 * Threat assessment: Extremely high to Beyond our scope, we are on alert.

First Ones (fanfic) and Elder races
There are quuite a few First Ones, are mysterious, ancient empires, billions of years old, and are very enigmatic and powerful. The Vorlon (who teach guide young races, we like them), Shadows (who stir trouble, and are evil), Walkers of Sigma-957, Ancients/Ori, Forerunners, Sphere Builders, Time Lords, Naucean, Screeble and The Culture exist beyond the rim, where they walk like giants among the stars. Their extent is unknown, but they guide young races. Some have disappeared, we assume they have ascended or vanished only leaving technological artifacts that operate almost like magic.
 * Basic info: Tier 1.4 to 1.1
 * Threat assessment: Extremely high if we anger them.

The First Ones mostly ignore us, and we are wary of their intentions, however, only one of them have been aggressive towards us. Another race of the First Ones actually saved us from a Dalek and Grox invasion.

"Truly Alien"
We are devoted to studying "Truly Alien" life forms and preserving them, as well as very very different alien cultures which have nothing remotely like us, and are hard to even recorgnise as life. It is believed that these life forms have the potential to survive scourges as they go unoticed, but are also threataned by the activities of oblivious civilizations. We are never likely to build much relations with them, though contact is possible, such as the WDC'ians native to a white dwarf. We are as alien to them.
 * Basic info: Tier U, N/A
 * Threat assessment: Usually none, but adverse effects could occur.

United Estates of the Silvarian Consortium
The U.E.S.C was foundered 2000 years ago by the Silvarians. It is a large empire in its native galaxy, and there is a rift to another universe in which they have learned to travel through, in fact the rift is colliding several universes, again we think this rift is Xyanxian. They are at war with a force on the other side. We don't know or think much of them really, but we are glad that our relations so far have been on friendly terms.
 * Basic info: Tier 2
 * Threat assessment: Low, but they have an oversized fleet.

Ihrian
The Ihrian's are a secretive empire in the Milky Way galaxy not too far from the Salsetthe Republic. Their nation itself is not aggressive, but they are undergoing social collapse and several splinter groups are aggressive, including one who almost wiped out our allies, the Pepis. The Ihrians do have powerful ships which can travel quickly and even we find it difficult to detect them. We almost declared war on the Ihrians, however, that was when we learned it was the rebels.
 * Basic info: Tier 2
 * Threat assessment: Moderate

Minor contacts
These are races we have been in friendly terms with, however, we are still neutral and do not know much about them.
 * Undine (Tier 1 borderline, fanfic) - A strange species from another universe who want to eradicate life in the Milky Way. They are an extremely dangerous threat.
 * Asgard (Tier 1, fanfic) - A peaceful and advanced species. They suffer genetic degradation. We like their friendly but intelligent attitude. Centuries ago, they commited mass suicide, but others survived in different galaxies. They are now coming back to the Milky Way to research their Milky Way cousins.
 * Goa'uld (high Tier 3, fanfic) - We never really met the Goa'uld, they were defeated before we had become galactic, save a few system lords. They were not much a danger to us, they would have to infect 3/4 of our government, which is unlikely.  They fell to the Daleks.
 * Ocari Monarchy (Tier 3) - The Ocari was a massive emppire who were the UESC's enemy. We are neutral however as they have shown little hostility to anyone else.
 * Covenant (Tier 3, fanfic) - Religious empire similar but far weaker than the Cognatus. They are enemies of our allies the BNSC, so we keep an eye on them.
 * Dominion (Tier 3, fanfic) - They are a moderately sized empire of proud warriors. The Founders are the most dangerous, so we watch them closely. The Salsetthe believe a single civil war could rip them apart. This is indeed what did happen, the Daleks instigated it.
 * Royal Forion Galactic Senate (Tier 3) - We have had good relations with this empire.
 * Aakan Empire (Tier 3) - Before we dissolved our economy we traded raptanium with this friendly race, and helped them overthrow the Geyk. We have lost contact since the last War of Ages conflict.
 * Intergalactic House of Order (Tier 4) - We are friends with this small alliance.
 * Grand Empire of Warr(Tier 4) - They are a small dictatorship, we pretend to be their allies when we are really allies with their rebels. In fact, they are both pawns of our manipulation.
 * Rusiolian Empire (Tier 4) - Although we have only recently discovered this empire, they show great potential. Despite controlling only 21 systems, they have over 15 million starships, with fairly advanced technology indicating a strong industrial capacity.
 * Arnodian Command (Tier 4)
 * Vyendan - Invite us for parties, which is important in their culture.
 * The Verinobi (Tier 4) - We have discussed ways with them for overthrowing the Nobi Nations.
 * Fenrakk (Tier 5) - A barely spacefaring empire who was startled by us.
 * Toguro (Tier 5) - They are very extreme in their views, and this eccentric race has declared war on us, with bows and arrows. We feel we do not need to waste our weapons on them.  We were allies for a while.
