===The Gnomes===
ActuallyCorrectly known as the ''Remm o'Hi Polyu'', these aliens were named 'Gnomes' by humans, and allowed the name to stick for ease of use. The Gnomes are small, stocky anthropoid creatures that are roughly three feet tall, with muscular development of their arms and legs significantly beyond normal expectation for beings of that height. Gnomes have a massive brow ridge which wraps around the front of their heads to terminate behind their ears, which gives the Gnomes the appearance of a natural 'helmet' that is part of their skulls. Gnomes possess a thick, fine covering of grayish-brown hair, which is usually worn to cover the top and sides of their heads down to their brow ridge. The Gnomes seem to be actually physically superior to the Mantoids, with the latter's psi-abilities able to overcome their physical advantage.
The Gnomes are a technologically advanced race (superior to either human or Mantoid development), and are responsible for maintaining the technology of the Mantoid spacecraft. They are also highly advanced in the field of biotechnology, and were the ones who have created many of the drugs and other bio-advancements that the Mantoids use, including the technology for the Mantoid breeding program.
