Alien Species in Elite

So two days ago, I read the Elite novella "The Dark Wheel", that was released with the game. The protagonist, Alex Ryder, seems to encounter quite a few different species in the "South" side of the Coriolis he was aboard, including Orreresians which look remarkably like Thargoids. For so long I thought that the game took place in a universe where the only species known were Humans and Thargoids. I'd lke to see some form of hinting at multiple species in the game, and perhaps the ability to find tharglets in the future. I can't believe I didn't know, the belief that humans were the only known species had made the game a little bit worse up until I read that.

Anyone do anything similar, or does anyone agree with me?

EDIT: Maybe those awesome commodities in the novella can be added, or similar ones can be added. I'd love to find Mymurth, Thurnpberry juice or Schizophrenic furs (or whatever they're called :p).

The original Elite had stacks of different aliens - I remeber the manual having a chapter on how to successfully trade with them. When Frontier came along suddenly the universe had just humans and Thargoids - oh, and androids if you count them seperately. I'm guessing they changed their minds.

This game need some sort of Alien or other species with space ships. We can't be the only ones out there. I really want to blast away some aliens.

Yeah we seem to be going backwards in this regard but I'm sure the word from above is no alien species living in the galaxy - the only sentient life forms have been killed in humanities expansion among the stars.
This doesn't include Thargoids who may still show up.

Maybe all those alien creatures from elite were just evolved humans and we'll see this when we get visual representations of npcs :p

Or maybe not

Hope it starts with the discovery of some alien artifacts.
Be nice to find evidence before contact actual.

Set loose the imagination.

I don't think they'll ever be playable, but wasn't an alien ship obtainable in one of the Elite games? Apparently it was extremely difficult to find, and you had to be Elite first.
