The Nightsiders (Second Human Empire: Viuin'ziolk Lopiki'yuik) are a race of dark-furred, nocturnal bipeds, averaging about 1.4 meters in height. They were native to the planet Krrendar IV. Nightsiders are asexual and reproduce by parthenogenesis. They release huge quantities of "seeds" into the oceans of the worlds they've settled, seeds which hatch into non-sentient tadpole-like aquatics that roam the oceans. Nightsiders only take interest in their "children" once they've emerged from the waters and metamorphosed into sentient adults. Nightsiders joined the Axis of Empires
