It's not "a word salad nonsense", not sure you even know what it stands for.
It's a fictional race created specifically for this game. Never heard of fictional creation can do that, do you?

I'm actually surprised which supposedly be a "side project" turns out to be this big.
It's always commendable a dev team can finish a game, especially so when it released free to all - really not many devs doing that nowadays. It's even comes with an official guide!
Really looking forward to their "main project" Triple - R.
