Suggestion] Please Add More Aliens And Other Technologies! (I mean only 3 intelligent species in this VAST universe???)

So far, we have the convenience, in most stories, of every being average height to humans. Easier to make costumes/models etc. But it'd be fun in this game, or another, to be up against huge or tiny beings. We may have been rodents to dinosaurs but not insects. It's highly unlikely we'd be the same size as aliens from worlds of different gravities. Along the lines of even the Zentradi...humanoids, but big. Also, how wild it is playing things like Agar or Slither . io and how things change with size. ED does have a bit of that with how ships are. Just one pilot, but from a Sidey to T-9...awesome.

Not sure at what point it became apparent, maybe in the above mentioned prequel (but I also still have to reread the robot novellas). It was the robots that wiped out all alien lifeforms they came across, while terraforming the galaxy for use by humans.

Hadn’t realised the Bendord / Bear / Brin books were prequels … where do they fit in with regard to Asimovs own prequels (Prelude and Forward) and the original novel?

My memory already blurs after reading all of them, but IIRC they slot in between Asimov's own prequels and the main Foundation novel.

We used to have more alien species , but they have been sort of written out
