Mortal beings are those who suffer from Mortality and are capable of dying of natural causes and are bound by the laws of the universe in difference to Ascended beings, who are not bound by them and thus having the capability of controlling them, or Imperial Beings, who are semi Immortal beings that are in the process of Ascendancy thus they cant die from natural causes. Most mortal races only control sectors of the galaxy instead of huge chunks of it making them technologically inferior to Imperial Beings
