Life exists in myriads of forms throughout the universe. There are creatures that are so different from each other that they would not acknowledge each other as life. There are creatures that co-exist at the same time and place and yet are blissfully unaware of each other's existence. That is because life takes on so many different forms that it is well nigh impossible to give a stable hierarchy of those life forms.
Consider the Vesan system in the Chondrial cluster. The system has ternary mother star and three gas giants making the system prone to strong magnetic disturbances. However the fifth planet in the system is inhabited by intelligent beings. Yet these beings possess no corporeal form. They are actually manifest in the constant flashes of lightning that the stormy planet (called BCEr7 - 5 in our nomenclature, the name given to the planet by the Vesans is incommunicable with out phonetic system, understandably so they "speak" in terms of electric field disturbances) While it is clear they exist even when the lightning is not flashing - the mode of their continued existence is not properly understood. In fact their discovery was almost lucky (The resident Electronic experts had an idea of hooking up the "interesting" electric field disturbances to language modeler in hope of making sense of them) However any effort to communicate with the Vesans has failed. In fact the continued efforts of the scientists stationed at the Vesan outpost has given rise to what we can draw analogies as "paranormal" activity in the Vesan society. Efforts made by linguists to modulate the electric field disturbances have made the Vesans coin a term that can be considered akin to a "ghost". Perhaps and experience similar to us if we suddenly started hearing garbled voices out of thin air.
Another fascinating race is the "Gas creatures" of Alophon system in the Bancu cluster. These creatures populate all the planets in the system yet are completely unaware of the existence across planets. It has been determined that they actually exist by means of "osmo-diffusion" an interesting physical phenomena so far observed only in the Alophon system that also gaseous volumes to exist together yet separately. In fact so many "accidents" go together to create the life system that is proper for the "gas creatures" they have been termed as the "most improbable life form of the known universe". (Close contenders are perhaps the space rocks of Graban system) Communication attempts with these creatures have been more successful with now exchange of interesting scientific and cultural information in progress (they communicate via what can roughly be thought as 'smells') However there exists no technology at present that can allow for their inter-planetary travel given the conditions that go into creating a stable environment for them.
Perhaps the strangest of life-forms of known Universe are the Time-gnomes. They are the only know intelligent race capable of traversing through time. They actually in fact live through space! Imagine, if possible, to flip the role of space and time and you have the Time-gnomes world. Contact with this species was very fortunate and first took place in the Kemer 2 Black Hole outpost - black hole event horizons being the only place where space & time beings can communicate properly. They are also our only direct experimental proof of the fact that time is in fact cyclic as proved by the periodic nature of their space. Many a fruitful theories have evolved with cooperation among our society and the Time Gnome society - most importantly the required conditions for faster-than-light travel (which forms one of the four constants that we have in common with the Time Gnome Space the other three being - gravitational constant, fine structure constant and the entropic diffusivity constant)
The universe is however vast and there are many places as yet unexplored. There are a multitude of lifeforms to discovered, studied and communicated with. We must strive to look further and expand our knowledge to embrace the universe that there is.
