The Gazurtoid are many-tentacled aquatic creatures who live in tremendous colony ships. They followed the Uhlek into the Arth sector with the second wave, and are dangerous, powerful enemies of the Empire. The Gazurtoid communicate in a biblical, apocolyptic mein consisting primarily of threats and their own quest, which is to destroy all the galaxy's air-breathing species. They are allied with the Spemin, who claim to have fooled the Gazurtoid into believing they are also aquatic creatures because they sit in puddles of water.

The Veloxi are derisive of the Gazurtoid because they believe their mission to stamp out air-breathers is ridiculous.The Elowan regard the Gazurtoid as the next most-powerful species in the sector, second only to the Uhlek. They also indicate that the Gazurtoid have been migrating for so long that they have forgotten why they began migrating in the first place.

The Thrynn have learned that Gazurtoid ships are impervious to missle attack, and that the best offense is a laser attack at close range. They also believe that Spemin ships are modelled after Gazurtoid designs. Thrynn also believe the Gazurtoid are in possession of the Shimmering Ball cloaking device, near the cross nexus.

The Gazurtoid do not converse except to preach their self-righteous rhetoric. They speak of three holy writings These are:

"SHALL YE GO FORTH AND CLEANSETH THIS GALAXY OF THE ACCURSED BREATHERS OF AIR."

"THOU WHO BREATHEST NOT LIQUID BUT RATHER AIR SHALL PERISH IN THE FLAMES OF HOLY RIGHTEOUSNESS."

"ONLY TO THE UHLEK, THY HOLY VANGUARD SHALT THOU SHOW SUFFERANCE. YEA! SUFFER NOT OTHER AIR BREATHERS AND IDOLATERS IN THY RIGHTEOUS PATH, FOR THOU ART THE GAZURTOID, THE HOLY CRUSADERS."

The Gazurtoid is the only sentient race that has not ratified the Intangible Property Act of 4506.
