Space geckos.  Will save you up to 15% on spaceship insurance, but it'll still cost you an arm and a leg.

The ones with no visible mouth, obviously. Everyone wants them to stop, sure, but more importantly, how do you...?

The kitchenette mold free, you move on to the pantry. it's nasty in there. The bacon is grazing on the lettuce. The ham is having an illicit affair with the prime rib, The potatoes see all, know all. A rat in boxer shorts smoking a foul smelling cigar is banging on a cabinet shouting about rent money.

DF elves are cannibals. Why not space elves?

Gotta second this. Space Elves make the best galactic tyrants.

But that would be kind of expected, by someone who already have played Dwarf Fortress. Or know a bit of Elder Scrolls lore.

I agree that it would be weird, but I am not sure what else to call it.
Xenovore? Xenovoria? Xenovorism? Or something like that?

Because sapiovore isn't quite as well known and is also not as consistently applied due to lack of common scope outside of fiction (I've also seen applied to direct consumption of sapience/thought, mostly in the context of certain monsters from D&D).  So, like how "android" can refer to female robots, cannibalism instead ends up generalized from consuming one's own species to consuming other sapients of equivalent status to one's own species. 
*shrug*
It is rather a linguistic oddity, but if it's understood, I suppose it's not a terrible thing.

That's something a filthy Xeno would say!

Tell me, what is the name of this plant? *holds out a dandelion*

I, for one, greatly enjoy when we humans do human things together, such as identifying a human dandelion, and certainly not eating other sapient species, right fellow humans? Have I said I am a human yet?
