The aliens from Gamilon in Star Blazers/Space Battleship Yamato have blue skin (a few episodes in, anyway) and are thoroughly evil (bombing out Earth with radiation bombs). Yeah, it works.
I'm all too familiar with lies and manipulations on planet Earth even.
I guess "sophonts" is your term for intelligent life then.
Yeah, especially considering the relation to "sophist" which has had negative connotations for a loooong time. (The things you learn when looking up stuff from webcomics... ;)
So this is what the Imperium of Man looks like from an outside perspective

I substitute "sophonts" for "sapients" later- It's just better recognized a word. ^^;
I'd forgotten about the word "sophont". I like it because it clearly means "reasoning being", but so does "sapient".
I've since started using "sapient" to mean the same thing- Sophont just is too awkward!

Just looked that word up- Learn something new every day!
