The Vegans — the Alpha Lyrae genotype first described by Germane through channel Lyssa Royal, rendered in the indigo-charcoal dossier style used across the Alien Type Archive.
THINK ABOUTIT’S ALIEN TYPE SUMMARY
Vegans
Long before Elena Danaan or the Alien Races Book gave names to galactic genotypes, a channeled entity called Germane, speaking through Lyssa Royal in 1992, described a Lyran offshoot that had grown into its own people at Vega: tall, dark-skinned, strikingly large-eyed, and tough enough to shrug off radiation and temperature extremes that would kill a standard human. That original account is the true root of almost everything said about the Vegans since — and it says considerably less, and something noticeably different, than the version that has circulated more recently.
Name: Vegans
AKA: None documented for the people themselves; Danaan uses “Olmeeka” as a name for the star Vega, not for the Vegans as a people
Location – Home System: Vega (Alpha Lyrae), the brightest star in the constellation Lyra; per Danaan, a twelve-planet system, with every planet inhabited
Distance from Earth: Approximately 25 light years
Attitude: Undocumented for the Vegans specifically. A related but explicitly distinct group in the source material — the “darker-skinned Lyrans” — is described as extremely pacifist and even-tempered; the source is clear that this is a separate people from the Vegans, not a description of them
Motives: Undocumented
Physical Appearance:
- Average Height: 6 to 7 feet tall, consistent across males and females
- Average Weight: Undocumented
- Body Temperature: Undocumented
- Pulse/Respiration: Undocumented
- Blood Pressure: Undocumented
- Life Expectancy: Undocumented
- Hair: Primarily black, ranging from standard black to an unusual light-to-dark brown, to a darker black with a greenish tinge; some Vegan races are entirely hairless, some have very little hair, and some have a full head of hair, varying by individual race
- Skin: Non-Caucasian; thicker and tougher than human skin with fewer layers, highly resistant to ultraviolet radiation, heat, and cold; ranges from light brown (almost beige) to very dark brown
- Eyes: Large, with a very large dark pupil and iris; slightly angled; retain a lid, unlike the Zetas
- Sex: Two sexes (male/female); reproduce as mammals
Other Physical Information: The source describes two Vegan appearance-categories, explicitly framed as differences of appearance only, not of genetic structure: a Humanoid type (the standard Vegan described above) and a Nonhuman type — still mammalian — whose jaw is thrust forward (giving a “reptilian” look) or downward (giving an “insect” look). The Nonhuman type may or may not have a second eyelid depending on planet of origin, has a small nose, and is described as the source of many human folklore accounts of “reptilian” or “cold-blooded” beings, despite being genetically mammalian and related to humans. The source further states that this Nonhuman type specifically — not Vegans generally — has a copper base in the skin and bloodstream that produces a greenish tinge.
Special Traits and Abilities: Undocumented as discrete named abilities; skin resistant to high ultraviolet radiation, heat, and cold is described as a general trait of the type
Communication Type: Undocumented
Origin: Vega (Alpha Lyrae); described by Danaan as Olmeeka, a twelve-planet system
Life Form Type: Humanoid, mammalian
Subspecies: Two appearance-categories per the source: Humanoid type and Nonhuman type (reptilian-look or insectoid-look, appearance only, not a distinct genetic line)
Most Common Species: Humanoid type, per the source
Level of Species: Undocumented
Habits: Undocumented for the Vegans specifically (see Attitude note above)
Transportation Type: Undocumented
Witnesses Reports: Channeled material from Germane through Lyssa Royal, first circulated in 1992 and published as “Galactic Family: An Overview of Genotypes” (1995); also referenced by Elena Danaan, who lists Vegans among the peoples of the Galactic Federation of Worlds
Special Features/Characteristics: Large, dark, slightly angled eyes with retained eyelids; ultraviolet-, heat-, and cold-resistant skin; predominantly black hair, occasionally with a greenish tinge
Summary/Description: Per Germane, the Vegans are a genotype that branched from the Lyran lineage to form its own distinct identity at Vega. The source credits Vegan ancestry with roughly 89% of the Orion civilization’s genetic makeup (split between Humanoid- and Nonhuman-type Vegan lines) and identifies the Sirian “gods” of Earth’s ancient contact history as stemming from Vegan stock as well.
Source: Germane, channeled by Lyssa Royal, “Galactic Family: An Overview of Genotypes” (1992/1995); Elena Danaan, A Gift from the Stars (2020) and later Encyclopedia Galactica material
Related Cases: Undocumented
DETAILED REPORT
The Vegan entry traces to a single original source: a 1992 channeling session with Germane, a group-consciousness energy speaking through Lyssa Royal, later published as “Galactic Family: An Overview of Genotypes.” In it, Germane describes the Lyran lineage branching at Vega into a genotype distinct enough to be treated as its own people — tall (6 to 7 feet), dark-skinned, non-Caucasian, with thicker and tougher skin than humans and notably large, striking eyes that retain an eyelid, unlike the Zeta type. Germane splits Vegan appearance into two categories, explicit that these are cosmetic differences rather than separate genetic lines: a Humanoid type matching the description above, and a Nonhuman type whose forward- or downward-thrust jaw gives a “reptilian” or “insectoid” impression to human observers, despite being, in Germane’s account, equally mammalian and equally part of the human genetic family.
This is also where the copper-based, greenish-tinged blood and skin appear in the source — but only as a trait of the Nonhuman-type Vegans, not as a universal Vegan trait. Germane goes on to credit Vegan ancestry with a large share of the Orion civilization’s genetics and with the origin of the Sirian “gods” of Earth’s ancient contact history, both points later echoed, without added detail, in Elena Danaan’s writing.
What the source does not do is assign the Vegans a temperament. The “stoic,” unemotional, difficult-to-provoke disposition that has circulated in more recent Vegan descriptions actually belongs, in Germane’s account, to a separate Lyran subgroup — the “darker-skinned Lyrans” — which the source explicitly flags as genetically distinct from the Vegans. Carrying that temperament over to the Vegans is a misreading of the original material, not an embellishment of it.
RESEARCHER’S NOTES
The Vegans — Vega and the Limits of a Single Channeled Source
- Source Identification: This entry rests on one original source — Germane’s 1992 channeling through Lyssa Royal — rather than on Muller’s guide, Santori’s ARB, or Danaan independently. Later compilations that reference “the Vegans” are, as far as this research can trace, downstream of this same material.
- Attribution Error: The stoic, low-emotion temperament attached to the Vegans in circulation actually describes a different group in the source — the darker-skinned Lyrans — who the material explicitly separates from the Vegan genotype. This page does not carry that temperament forward as a Vegan trait.
- Scope of the Copper-Blood Detail: Germane attributes the copper-based, greenish-tinged blood and skin only to the Nonhuman-type Vegans, not to the type as a whole. Presenting it as a universal Vegan trait, complete with specific blood pressure and pulse figures, goes beyond anything the source states.
- Evidentiary Status: This is first-person channeled material, not a witness report or investigated encounter. It should be read as one channel’s account of what a stated non-physical entity communicated, not as documented contact.
Stripped back to its actual source, the Vegan entry is a modest one — a physical description, a two-way split in appearance explicitly called cosmetic rather than genetic, and a claimed role in seeding Orion and Sirius. The temperament, the blood chemistry, and the technology rating that have attached themselves to the Vegans in more recent tellings either belong to someone else in the original material or don’t appear in it at all.
Germane, on the Standard Vegan genotype:
“A much sturdier and more durable humanoid being.”
