If you look at the Hylotl backstory, It said that they ran from the Florans.

Grass is super effective against Water. This explains everything.

But how does one explain sudden fish?

Wait a moment, weren't Florans this relatively new race? Why would Hylotl need to run if they were technologically superior?

Hyotl are pacifist and cultured. Floran are barbaric and bloodthirsty.

Florans seem to be dumb carnivorous predators which seem to evolve (and possibly reproduce) by using other races as stepping stones. Think the Xenomorphs from Alien or perhaps the Zerg/Tyranids, just without the all-encompassing hive mind aspect. Less insect, more plant, but still with the same overall attitude.

They really are adorable.

I heard that the Avians 'uplifted' the Florans, so being artificially new, they probably have some converted Avian tech that they built their own off of.  Florans are also extremely violent.

I saw something like that somewhere.

Sort of begs the question, though: Why then is the Floran starter an Apex ship rather than an Avian one? :P

Their backstory is that although they're a relatively new race, they are good at reverse engineering things. They reverse engineered an avian jump drive ship that crashed on their planet, and managed to get through an avian blockade by activating it while in their own atmosphere. I think it destroyed their planet effectively, or led to a big scorching? Something along those lines. Along the way they prolly reverse engineered other ships.

The Avian's don't seem like the Uplifty types. the Apex certainly do, though. Especially since the lab codex's indicate the Apex have worked with Floran's multiple times.

The Avians were uplifted themselves by a mysterious, advanced race "who took pity on them" for being technologically underdeveloped, according to Starbounder Wiki. Conceivably the same one that built the Glitch, but who knows? It'll be interesting to see how that end is developed.

The Florans reverse engineered an Apex ship(?- it was that or the Avians, ironically whichever of the two theirs are less similar to), and have been wreaking havoc on the galaxy sense, from the sounds of it.
