Ruminaaan Space is the general name referring to the region of space in the Milky Way, spanning nearly 10,000 light-years wide, inhabited by the collective local sophont civilizations whom have established some form of direct contact, of which there are 14 in total. (1/8)

There is also a close-up of a nebula called "Ruminaaa" in next to the Milky Way map.

A vertical, floating alien creature not dissimilar to a squid. It has a large, patterned body tipped with a translucent buoyant sac. The lower-body is where the eyes and tentacles are positioned. Their species sigil and name (Boueue) are featured in the upper-right.

Introducing the Scerere! Another in a long line of intelligent alien species I'll be posting about

‼️PLEASE READ THE ALT TEXT FOR MORE INFORMATION‼️

The Scerere are another intelligent alien species to inhabit the region of the Scutum-Centaurus Arm known as Ruminaaan Space. Historically speaking, the Scerere are quite noteworthy, being that they, as well as a buoyant balloon-like species known as the Boueue, are the first two sophont civilizations in Ruminaaan Space to have ever contacted each other in the flesh. When they met several thousand years ago, they formed an alliance called the Syndicate of Civilized Worlds (SCW), a meeting so important that many calendars are based around the date. This alliance, which formed after nearly a whole millennium of foreplay performed between message-carrying probes, stood as a testament to the strength, prosperity and security that came from embracing the unknown rather than fearing it. With time, only more species would join the SCW, but over thousands of years just as many empires rooted, and on numerous occasions even had to fight for, their autonomy and independence from this very faction. Looking at them biologically, the Scerere are even more interesting, bordering on bizarre. Though one may not think upon a first glance, this sophont species have evolved directly from plants, just like the other "animal"-like organisms of their native biosphere, which just goes to show the unpredictability of patterns in life throughout the universe. They do not have ears, but are able to "hear" through vibrations which they pick up through their feet - this, as well as the physical movement of their limbs, are the means through which the Scerere communicate with one another. Although they are able to detect light and basic movement with their eyes, their vision isn't nearly as strong or detailed compared to humans - a feature not uncommon for life on their homeworld as complex visual organs have scarcely emerged in most evolutionary lineages.

Hey, another sophont done! Apologies this one took so long.

These are the Cri, a large aerial intelligent alien. Learn about them in greater detail in the alt text

The Cri are another sophont species native to Ruminaaan Space. They come from a moon called Rrhu, which has the lowest gravity of any other sophont's homeworld (about 49% that of Earth). Despite the very lax restrictions caused by the gravity, they are very average in size compared to other lifeforms on their world, with a 15.5 meter wingspan which is dwarfed by some animals they evolved alongside. Although hidden in the picture, they possess articulated foldable fingers as well as a retractable pseudo-jaw on the underside of their heads with which they use to manipulate objects. In prehistory, they would ambush prey mid-air using floating forests of balloon-like "trees" as cover. Due to their aerial nature, they have never developed a concept of strict political borders, thus streamlining their progression towards a spacefaring society - the desire to do so in no small part being propogated by their aerial instincts. Despite this, their history is by no means a perfect, linear timeline of progress. They've been spacefaring for over 5,000 years, and for a large period their interstellar colonies would begin to lose contact due to the vast distances between them making it hard to maintain steady flow of resources, communication and diplomatic stability. The fact some members of the Cri would begin evolving into genetically-distinct subspecies did not aid this era of disconnect. Hundreds of worlds would suffer, some reverting to hunter gatherer lifestyles or even extinction. Luckily, the passage of time was their greatest ally, with the majority of these colonies rejoining eventually - however, there are still many stray isolated populations of Cri scattered across space who do not acknowledge their history.
