Gonna attempt to develop the wonderful Gretch some more.

The Gretch as a species are known to be greedy this probably comes from their homeworld a barren place with not much in the way of fertile land or food to survive one had to be greedy and to hoard food. This lead too the Gretch not really having much morals and ethics but more a sense of survival and the love of hoard anything they could get their hands on.

Now how the Gretch were able to obtain space travel is anyone's guess some say they discovered it themselves others say they swindled aliens, who really cares. Once the Gretch did they used space travel to better themselves not in the traditional sense of making themselves better no, no, no, they saw a Universe full of resources, slaves, and opportunities to hoard and claim for themselves.

It started out small but soon the Gretch began building out a Empire of their own a Empire of thousands of trade routes, massive slave trading operations, and many other illegal and legal actions. They pretty much became space gangsters, Kingpins, what ever term you want to use.

Sadly *tear, most galaxies in this good universe don't like slavery or drugs too much so the Gretch began carving out a domain of their own were these time old practices don't just survive but thrive and infect nearby space this region of space is known simply as 'Gretch Space' and has expanded to stretch many galaxies and billions of worlds.

Gretch themselves can be described as frog like aliens with large slug like bodies and speak a very harsh sounding language (Pure Grek) but they also can speak a quick chirpy language (Trading Grek, or the universal trading language)

Ever since space travel Gretch have banned the enslavement of other Gretch and for the most part the common Gretch's life, wealth, and opportunities have greatly expanded but only really in the realm of business. The Common Gretch is now seen as rather wealthy as the basic Gretch is expected to have a palace stronghold, hundreds of slaves and retainers, plus to control lucrative trade routes.

Gretch society is dominated by the clans (Know in Pure Grek as 'Kadik' and in Trading Grek as Kek) which every Gretch has loyalty to (Although eventually clans split up although these clans are known as sister clans and tend to stay friendly). Gretch are ruled over by a body of the most powerful Kadiks known as the 'Grand Kadik Council' at all times it may only number 13 members with the 13 clans staying about constant although some times the clans change.

The Council has established some basic laws across the Gretch Criminal Empire and also solve any major disputs between Kadiks (The lord of a Kadkik is known as a Kadik-Kal, but normally just simply Kadkik).

The Gretch live by the phrase 'Don't do work you don't have too." thus the Gretch Empire is full of thousands of slave species that do manual labor, work as enforcers, middle men, bounty hunters, and many other roles the Gretch don't want to do themselves.
