Otherians are ape-like humanoids native to the planet Otheria. They were engaged in war with the Kretonians for 200 years until a Vanguard scout vessel, the Gettysburg, destroyed their star system in 2651. General T'ralthon, commander of their military, escaped to find his way to the known worlds, where he found help to rescue the survivors of his people. They lived for a time on Galactix until finding a world to settle in 2651. Very few know the location. Otherian Supreme Chancellor, T'ralis died from complications to injuries suffered in the June 5, 3001 bombing of the Nall ship Sal'thrla
