I'm changing the Wasterlings a bit, mainly because if I don't they'll go to waste. No pun intended.

They're a collective conciousness that evolves unbelievably fast. They salvage anything possible, but evolve rapidly both technologically and biologically very rapidly. For example, when Morg finds them they are barely reaching industrialization. After they trade Proditkar tech and salvage what they can from Alpha Rosetta and show up in year two, they've gone from a bunch of civilization-level creatures to an empire with an advanced fleet and biotech in just one year. They evolve so fast that they're practically a different species each war they get into. though they don't neccesarily evolve "up", so to speak. they won't evolve into a god race just because of their speedy evolution.

They will be quite the formidable foe if we choose to use them at a later date. For now, as of year two, their presence will be minimal at best, since they've already made their debut in year one. In year three, maybe they could team up with the Grox or Brotherhood of Darklings? They're most likely to become important around the same time the Vadyadhara do.
