I wholeheartedly agree.
I always found the Orz the most frightening aspect of the game due to their unknown origin, as well as their reluctance to release any such information.
Also, the Androsynth were consumed by these inter-dimensional beings and the fact that the Orz tend to get a little bit hot under the collar when you question them speaks for itself! Who's *frumple* now, eh?
However, their dislike of the Arilou Lalee'Lay also carried a burden for the humans. Apparently, the Arilou had known the first humans, which suggests that they have taken a great interest in us for a long time and I don't believe they are so incredibly pure that they haven't got a vested interest in human beings whether it be domination or cross-breeding.
The Arilou and Orz both dislike each other. The Arilou appear to protect us from our own curiosity, but it may also be for their own good. The Orz dislike the ARilou because they "jumped in front", meaning they managed to establish relations with humans before the Orz were able to.
The Orz come from "below" while the Arilou come form "above".
I feel that the Arilou appear to be pure due to their involvement in the Alliance of Free Stars as well as their calm appearance. Inversely, the Orz speak a whole heap of *juice*...oops, I mean, garbage! They hide their motives openly which does not bode well, and are also responsible for the elimination of a cyborg race.
Both these races have hidden agendas which always worried me.
I also found the Vux Admiral, Zex a pretty disgusting character who appeared to be into bestiality. What freaked me out most was that his ultimate aim was to engage in it with you (being the human captain). Yech!
The Ur-Quan do not freak me out at all. Their story is simple one of self-preservation, as well as one of great sadness. They were a peaceful race in the past, if not overly tribal as reflected in their initial fights with the peaceful Taalo, whom they would eventually call "friend" (no other race would)." If the Ur-Quan never met the Dynarri, there would be no problem.
The Umgah are an interesting mob. They take their jokes too far. Pkunk died as the Ilwrath gorged on them on the commands of Dogar and Kazon, an Umgah joke. The Umgah, although very good friends with the Arilou joined the Ur-Quan Hierachy as battle thralls as "The Ultimate Joke". Then to finish it off, look at Umgah controls. They resemble breasts and penises. (That is offical as well!)
But the Orz are by far the most disturbing, with the Arilou a close second.
