Atlas
Atlas is not exactly an alien race, but it is alien, at least to you. We’re not entirely sure what Atlas is, but it seems to be omniscient and at times it appears that certain races worship this unknown “mind” of sorts. Atlas calls out to you early in the game, and has a bit of an adventure for you of its own. The weird thing is that this entity appears to be able to speak directly to your mind, or possibly even your soul. It calls out to your desires to explore and discover the universe and helps to provide you with the means to do so.
Whether it’s some sort of god within No Man’s Sky’s universe is up to you and your perspective to decide. But it is definitely one of the most important “alien” components of the game you’ll have the pleasure of dealing with.
