More Races and Information to come as soon as i find out about them.

How to start a Rebellion/Civil War

Save up some money and level your ship a bit, the start a new sector (Tiny) on a low Level(best is level 0).
Explore the sector until you find your desired race as for example the Drakk.
If the race is not in the sector start over.

At start try to help them a bit so they can colonize some planets. Just kill monsters in there homesystem and escort there colony ships until they have 3 or 4 Colonies.

Pick one of there planets and use propaganda until the planet reaches the state of civil war.
If you started a low level sector 0-6 each attempt should cost around 300-400 credits.

If the planet has finally reached the state of civil war, open your mini map.
You should find a blue icon now, its a rebel ship. Fly over there and accept the quest, now you only have to deliver lethal weapons or robotic troops to the planet. (See Quest description)

It is possible that you have to repeat the process several times.

Good Luck

Drakk/Cortex Hybrid is a new subrace for the Drakk I just found and unlocked.
+6 helm, +4 engineering, +32% mult per tactical point, 43% defense per helm point, extra thruster component slot, extra battery capacity boost component slot, drakk/cortex hybrid crewmember.

Is acquired by aiding a rebellion of drakk/cortex hybrids. Not sure what conditions can trigger the drakk/cortex hybrid rebellion to spawn besides drakk and cortex in the same map and RNG.

Another note, I just unlocked Paranoia from a resurrect a race quest from the Lithisoid. I'm gonna do those quests every time now. :)

When I unlocked Infection the quest said they had infection on the scavenger world.

Has anybody unlocked a race from resurrecting one?

So far I've only gotten races I already had unlocked, except once I got Genetic Soldier from Fringe, maybe that was a Fringe's special way to get one of their races unlocked.

I hope you haven't given up on updating this. I'd love to know how to unlock the rest, and I can't find any info about this anywhere else.

Thanks for creating the guide. You may want to incorporate the information from this [www.soldak.com]this post.

Also, you can unlock:

o Xenophobia by letting a Lithosoid planet's Xenophobia plague go unchecked, then seeking out and helpingthe rebels when the Lithosoid notice them as planetary movement.

o Paranoia by letting a Shadow planet's Paranoia plague go unchecked, then seeking out and helping the rebels when the Shadow notice them as planetary movement.

o Reaper/Infection by letting a Scavenger planet Mutagen Virus/Prion Disease go unchecked, then seeking out and helpingthe rebels when the Scavengers notice them as planetary movement.
