IGN's series on the aliens of Galactic Civilizations II continues. This week the Torians and the Thalan.
The Torians were once a peace loving civilization. They were trusting, kind, and gentle. That kind of attitude got them enslaved by the Drengin Empire for 30,000 years. They've learned their lesson.
The Thalan, on the other hand, are very mysterious. They are an insect-like civilization with no apparent "hive mind" as each individual is independentlly intelligent. Yet they don't seem to require any physical device to communicate. There are rumors that they are from another dimension, here to stop some great tragedy that is about to unfold.
Read the whole thing.
