Unknown Xenos (waiting for discovery)

As the title suggests, I would like there to be a few other xenos out there that commanders can interact with in a meaningful way. It makes sense that if we encountered Guardians and Thargoids within a few thousand Ly why have we not encountered others when commanders have been all over the galaxy? Note that I am not discounting the possibility that there are already xenos hidden out there that no one has found yet.

Because the main point of this idea is discovery, I will keep my thoughts here very general, but I do have a few ideas.
Xeno 2: A primitive race (a little more technologically advanced then the humans of 2021). They would have spread out across their home system but be unable to get beyond it.
Xeno 3: A neutral race without strong military. They wouldn't necessarily be hostile but it would be nearly impossible to breach their hulls anyway and they would have a hard time breaching plasma shields.
Xeno 4: A small but incredibly advanced race fighting fiercely with the Thargoids. Neither would really have the upper hand in that fight.
Xeno 5: A group of nomadic Aliens on huge ships used to strip systems of all useful resources. They would be more or less oblivious to human contact.
Xeno 6: A race of small proportions. Their capital ships would only be about the size of a Cutter and their small fighters would be little bigger than a single Thargon.

With each of these there would be a hefty discovery reward for detection and first contact, and smaller rewards for discovering more locations occupied by these xenos.
