1 - A parasite race that requires a neutral or occupied race in order to breed. Management of secondary slave races would be required, as would culling excess or breeding more "livestock".
2 - A robotic race which manufactures population, doesn't produce food trade goods and can be upgraded via technology (in lieu of genetic engineering). They would be almost immortal.
3 - A digital race which exists inside a network instead of in a metal shell, which has server farms for cities. Military units would of course exist in physical shells. Basically immortal.
4 - A hive race which has a small fertile population, and a large drone population of workers and soldiers. The "queens" would produce clutches of infertile population, only producing more queens when expanding.
5 - A race that is always fertile, with both sexes having very little in the way of dimorphism. Basic human beings.
6 - A race that has breeding seasons, which would of course cause havoc to the economy during a few short weeks or days. Would also mean there would be sudden jumps in population, followed by large periods of inactivity. Sexual dimorphism would be high.
7 - An energy race of beings. They feed on sunlight, power or sorium. They require little in the way of living space, but require large amounts of constant energy to live, grow and reproduce.
