Question

A galactic conflict among these beings resulted in collateral damage to the Zoq-Fot-Pik race, who love to argue about the sport Frungy. These beings used genetically engineered Talking Pets from the planet Glilandy to translate between species. These beings’ first friendly contact was with the Taalo, whose rocklike appearance did not provoke their territorial instincts, after which they joined the Sentient Milieu. The two factions of this race, which circled the galaxy in opposite directions, had contrasting beliefs called the Path of Now and Forever and the Eternal Doctrine. This race was defeated when the Precursor battleship Sa-Matra was destroyed by the New (*) Alliance of Free Stars, whose member races included the paranoid Spathi and hybrid Chmmr. For 10 points, name this race of large caterpillar-like aliens fought by the human organization Star Control. ■END■ (0[7])
