9 minor species ambassador tokens.

Rules

To add the minor species to the game, before the start of the game take 4 random minor species ambassador tokens and place them in the supply. You may establish diplomatic relations with a minor species at any time during your turn. Spend the credits shown on the chosen ambassador token and place it on an appropriate empty space of your reputation track. The abilities of a minor species ambassador take effect immediately. You may establish diplomatic relations with several minor species. A minor species ambassador token cannot be discarded.

NOTE. Minor species may be used in 2–3 player games, even though regular diplomatic relations cannot be established in those games.
