Clades and Species of the Confluence (A1-0)

The following is a list of all major Clade Families and their main subdivisions within the Confluence of Empires, divided based on their origin.

To clarify: "Clade Family" is a term used in the Confluence to refer to multiple clades that are closely associated to one another regardless of any actual phylogenetic ties. A prime example of this is the Terragen Athaviaa, a very large Family that is actually comprised of dozens of different clades that all fall under the common categorization of "bird" by earthly standards.

Terragen Clade Families

• Humans:
• Nudontoceti: uplifted toothed whales of the Odontocetes clade. Some of its main members include the Aurelphins, Gigorwheil.
• Athaviaa: a very large group of uplifted "bird" sophonts belonging to many different clades. The Corvijnee and the Pahrvanots are prevalent members of this Clade Family.
• Coleoperyors: uplifted sophonts of the Coleoidea subclass, primarily squids, octopi and cuttlefish. Some of its main subgroups include the Ochtrophee and the Patternweavers.
• Emoduhiants: uplifted rays of the Mobula genus.
• Simiiforumai: uplifted monkeys of the Simiiformes infraorder, such as the Duicova and the Ohlramann.
• Silvestrines: uplifted cats.
• Dewclaao: uplifted canids of the Canidae and Hyaenidae families, such as foxes, dogs and hyenas. The Yewanis and the Aminovi are some of its most well-known members.
• Nuur’iigs: uplifted pigs.
• Apoikoll: uplifted social hive minds created by insects of the Hymenoptera order, such as ants and bees.
• Suzeiphants: uplifted elefants.
• Ryonglir: uplifted sophonts of the Lagomorpha order and the Sciuromorpha and Myomorpha sub-orders, including rabbits, pikas, mice and rats like the Ythronfir or the Leapjacks.
• Uvounura: uplifted frogs of the Anura order.
• Ourobors: uplifted snakes of the Serpentes sub-order.
• Jellusina: uplifted jellyfish of the Ctenophora phylum and crown‑group Medusozoa, with large portions of their body made from biological transparent computronium.
• Polyreefers: uplifted coral reefs and colonial polips creating interconnected minds as aquatic biological computers.
• Dindelseids: uplifted Angiosperm and Gymnosperm trees that use symbiotic drone species to perceive and interact with the world.

Galactyakin Clade Families

• Kesheia: quadrupedal, and fuzzy sapients with an anatomy resembling that of Earth deer.
• Ooxathru: large, quadrupedal uplifts that filled a niche similar to horses or dogs on Galactya.
• Sheulsarr: hexapodal, aquatic cephalopod-like organisms uplifted by the Kesheia.
• Kilmantsi: large, colorful hexapodal neogens partially resembling the earthly praying mantiss.
• Mandeloops: titanic, space-dwelling neogens consisting of fractal cavities arranged in loops.
• Proo’theyas: large, unicellular sapients forming temporary pseudopods for locomotion.
• Magmaviin: nanoscopic neogens with a magmatter-based biology living inside of stars.
• Eulla’malar: uplifted lazurogenic recreations of the jurassic dinosauromorpha clade.
• Iuthxoe: exotic neogens based on chemical cycles embedded in convection cells generated by any turbulent fluid.
• Poleyraut: neogens possessing many highly precise, retractable limbs living in microgravity environments.

Silvalian Clade Families

• Colestians: plant-like, facultative bipedal climbers with a long tail that feed through photosynthesis.
• Lumnifers: metamorphic neogens with extremely efficient bionano optical computers.
• Velupyota: a sapient swarm of interstellar terraforming organic seedships.
• Fathrae: a

Flowkin Clade Families

• Xelmonerenes: exotic sapients existing in the metallic hydrogen core of a gas giants.
• Neunevunn: exotic sapients living inside the superfluid outer core of neutron stars.
• Trrarrusians: octapodal, bipedal sapients that resemble humans in multiple aspects.
• Imbrians: hexapodal sapients with both bird and insect characteristics.
• Baskipirs: small radially simmetrical ocean-dwelling xenosophonts.
• Jhar’ord: symbiotic sapients consisting of a mobile plant-like hive and flying bug-like drones.
• Eurekt: bioluminescent beings living in geothermally heated underwater oceans of icy moons.
• Zyloxin: intelligent colorful crystals that communicate through complex music-like patterns.
• Sheulsarr: hexapodal sapients descended from aquatic cephalopod-like organisms.
• Verticenes: large aerostatic sapients using electromagnetic minerals and gas pouches to fly.
• Velupyota: a sapient swarm of interstellar organic terraforming seedships.
• Tihumuuh: low temperature, crab-like xenosophonts inhabiting Titan-like worlds.
• Peehhpep: low temperature gelatinous sapients, uplifted by the Tihumuuh.
