The Various Races in the Swarm Universe
This is a list of the various races that have been mentioned or are due to appear in stories within the Swarm Universe.
Confederacy Races
The Confederacy is a union of space-faring races. Humanity knows very little about how the Confederacy is organized. All we have met are a very few Darjee, who are not willing to tell us anything about the Confederacy or any of the member races. Known races include:
- The Humans were an early-space-age race from Earth until being recruited by the Confederacy as soldiers for the Swarm War.
- The Darjee were the Confederacy race charged with all contact with humans.
- The Tu'ull are known to build AIs with more independence than Darjee AIs.
- The Thring are vaguely mentioned in passing and not much is known of them.
- Little is known of the L'Chekt, but they are a race that appears in the Confederacy Database as developers of FTL drive technology.
- The Ruka had a single system Rukabat on the Sa'arm intrusion side of the Confederacy but moved ~500ly behind Earthat before Earth was contacted. See Thinking Horndog's 'The Chuck Hole' for details.
- The Krathee are a Confederacy race who attempt to negotiate deals to bring members of other Confederacy races into agreements of indentured servitude.
- The Blart are a proposed Confederacy member race which strongly opposes any project sponsored by the Darjee. An unpublished Cosca story may use them as a hidden sponsor in their effort to avoid all of the Darjee-supervised restrictions. Their name may change before publication.

Other Races
There are numerous other races that are not initially involved in the conflict between the Confederacy and the Sa'arm.
