 Algorab   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
Even its name is paired with Gienah, as both come from an Arabic phrase that means "the raven's wing," "Gienah" from the word for "wing," "Algorab" from that for "raven." Unfortunately, it is not all that tidy, as Algorab used to belong to the star now called Gienah.
Though the third brightest star in the constellation, it was called Delta by Bayer.
Algorab-B therefore makes Algorab-A one of the more unusual stars of the naked-eye night sky, acting not just as a pointer for Spica, but also as a pointer for rather remarkable Algorab-B. Written by Jim Kaler.

Taalo The Taalo were the only member of the Sentient Milieu who were able to resist the mental compulsion powers of the Dnyarri and maintain their freedom.
This was a mixed blessing though, since the Dnyarri response was to have all the other enslaved Milieu races attack the Taalo planet at Delta Vulpeculae 2c, annihilating the Taalo.
Some historians have suggested that just before they were wiped out, the Taalo were near completion of a device which would have conferred their psychic immunity on the other Milieu races.
