Hey Y'all
I'm working on an adventure that will focus around a neutral space station that has become the site of some inter-galactic politics. The idea that after the queen of an insect race died the rest of the race followed suit. Now that the planet is uninhabited several other races would like to move in a make it theirs. They have agreed to meet in an attempt to resolve the conflict peacefully.
Now of course the talks aren't going without any complications, but here's my question:
Which aliens do you think would make the most enjoyable assortment for some "peaceful" negotiations"?

Well, it depends on how "serious you want the talks to be. I always enjoyed the more colourful quirky races like the mix of balhoon, alpha centauri from peladon and my all time favourite, arcturus from peladon. I would suggest something like that, but don't fill the room full of them because it detracts from the story and makes a sweeping statement that all aliens are silly or phallic shaped, shower curtain wearer's!!!

Draconians and from the Peladon story, the Ice Warriors as well would be good. If you've read Alien Bodies, then a Kroton and a Shift would be good. Although the Shift would need to be an agent for a lesser race as they're not really interested in something as mundane as a planet.

Judoon arbitrators. Or maybe that's just me wanting to do Judoon impressions.
Sontaran peace envoys. Because most players wouldn't expect that. They don't intend to start a fight, they're just there in case one kicks off and they can join in.

I'm not sure "peace envoy" would be a good term for them though How about liaison? They're there to drum up business... The PR face to their mercenary race.
