   4. Squid Lords (psychic mind-suckers)
   5. Space Gophers (nuisances, mostly harmless, extremely lucky)

   7. Space Doppelgangers (shape-shifters who will attempt to pass as members of a friendly species, who may be pursuing sinister ends or be driven by dangerous biological imperatives)
   8. Other (Judge makes something up)
3. Hyperspace Travelers: another ship or convoy from ordinary space, passing through to their final destination, or perhaps a derelict vessel.
