Bitents

Race of long tentacle creatures. Their planet of Cefferra is almost entirely covered in water, but they have evolved on large boats to be unable to solely live in the water. Interestingly they have yet to be successful in inventing space travel, but a human scientist insisted on their participation after witnessing what their G.R.I T60 was capable of doing across their own planet's surface.

Racing Ship
Bitents have mastered the art of simultaneous attraction and repulsion. While most ships in the Race of Galaxies simply hover above the ground, the G.R.I. T60 both hovers above the ground and and attracts itself to the ground. By altering this traction, it's pilot can alter the traction their ship has in a instance, leading to some amazing maneuvers.
