A mysterious alien species with unknown motives and even more unknown capabilities. First encountered by the Federation of Xah in 10032, since then Ghalimi ships have been encountered in more and more newly explored systems. They appear to have no colonies, no artificial constructs other than their highly advanced starships, and so far their alien nature has made any communications impossible beyond the simplest acknowledgements. For their part, the Ghalimi seem content to largely ignore the humans in favour of their inscrutable actions, and so far neither side have had cause to interfere with each other. Whether that will continue to be so remains to be seen.
