Uncatalogued Inhabitant

Uncatalogued Inhabitants are a variety of "alien" races within Heaven's Fence. It is more of a catchall term used for any inhabitants that are not human, mage, or prise. They are derogatorily referred to as Stars by the United Red Army in the detention camps.

History
It could be that these races have always been apart of the Fence, but were never very large in numbers and so weren't focused on too much. Sector 11's governing mage, Beirut Akara, had been very opened to aliens of all sorts, and welcomed refugees from other parts of the galaxy like the Agostis. Their planet had been destroyed by a hypernova but they had advanced technology and many were able to escape in time. Upon Wilhelm Ryan's rule as "Supreme Tri-Mage" of all the Fence, he deemed them impure and confined them to various camps until he could determine what he would do with them.

It is unclear when it began, but Ryan eventually started harvesting Keywork energy. Though his motivations remained unclear at first, it came to light that he was slowly "feeding" the Keywork by "sacrificing" these races periodically in throwing them off of a large platform into a Keywork stream. Eventually, even "unwanted humans" joined these camps and these practices were applied to them too. Otherwise, they do various menial labor (slave labor), including washing Red Army uniforms.

Claudio Kilgannon also spent some time at one of these camps on Shylos X and befriended an alien named Cecil. About ten years later, he would return to this camp to free his friend, but ended up destroying the camp and accidentally killing him in the process.

Habitat, Biology, & Appearance
These various races originally lived in a variety of habitats, including under the earth (subterranean) which could also be another reason why they were not originally detected. Nowadays they live in hiding or in "camps" manned by the Red Army to ensure they do not escape. They sleep in rundown barracks with no amenities, but do have access to a washbin, though whether soap is available is unclear.

Each species has there own biological traits and appearances. Many are green or red. Some sport antennae-like appendages or mandible-like teeth. Some have human-like eyes and other features but with slight variations to the shape or color.

As they are often confined to camps, the various races do not have many possessions or resources to distinguish themselves from one another as humans do with clothing, accessories, dye, or other prosthetics or modifications. As with all races, they do have natural variations such as size, skin hue, or other genetic differences.

Life Cycle & Psychology
As these races are kept in camps and ultimately, systematically killed, it is hard to determine their natural life cycles.

As prisoners and with death always lingering close, these races have developed a kind of defeatist attitude, believing that these things are just the way things are. They consider themselves practical and even when it pains them, they will "throw away" or reject things that do not contribute to their survival. Their only motivation is to survive though they do feel the full scope of emotions humans do, they are just more desensitized to some of the brutality they experience in the camps.

Culture & Society
It is impossible to know for certain what each race's original culture and society was like. Within the camps, there is only two kind of pecking order: The soldiers who herd them, and themselves. No one race believes they are better than another and freely interact and mingle. They tend to help each other where possible, knowing they are all in the same situation.

Cecil
Cecil was a relatively unremarkable alien who was detained in Camp Si-Revody on Shylos X. One morning a human boy approached him. This boy turned out to be Claudio Kilgannon. Thinking he was probably just an unwanted human, Cecil agreed to help him find food and lodging. Though originally only meant to be a one-time thing, Cecil and Kilgannon seem to become fast friends, always hanging out with one another. Kilgannon could not hide nor keep to himself the powers manifesting inside him and Cecil eventually had to ask him to leave. In the 10 years that followed Kilgannon's absence, things at the camp worsened and Cecil developed a bit of Stockholm syndrome, sympathizing with his captors and praising Ryan even as they continued to be slaughtered.

Eventually, Ryan publicly ordered the disposal of all the inhabitants at Si-Revody. This prompted Kilgannon to make his way back to the camp with the intention of rescuing Cecil and destroying the Red Army's operation there. Unfortunately, Cecil was accidentally pushed from the platform into the Keywork beam by Kilgannon's own power. Distraught, Kilgannon dove in after him, but being The Crowing, did not die instantly as Cecil had. Instead, his power reacted to the Keywork's in a volatile manner and caused a burst of energy so destructive pretty much everyone in the immediate vicinity was incinerated, except Sizer who was an IRO-bot and therefore had the DNA to withstand it.

The Agosti
A notable race classified as an uncatalogued inhabitant known as the Agosti (plural, Agostis). They came to the Fence because their original planet was destroyed in a hypernova—long before Ryan was even appointed to governor of Sector 6—and settled in Sector 11 upon the welcome of Beirut Akara, its governing mage. They lived in peace until Ryan detained everyone and the race decided to flee rather than stay. They were rather crafty and not only created the space station known as the Agosti Securum (pictured right) but also the Grail Arbor which was gifted to Inferno Kilgannon, among other ships. Though the Securum was made of many of the uncatalogued races' ships, and held a huge number of refugees, Ryan did pursue them and eventually "cleansed" the station of all aboard.

IRO-Bots
""IRO-bots are technically considered an uncatalogued race. There is a very small number of them and they were formed after the others were already detained. Sometimes, due to their nature, IRO-bots are considered more like weapons than a race of beings.

Narrows
""Narrows are a race that was created after the separation of Sector 12 due to the radiation that resulted from the instability in the Keywork. They are a mutation of primarily human origin, but they are still technically considered an uncatalogued race. They have made their home outside of the Fence so they are hard to track down.
