I have a kind of theory about this, even though I'm not sure exactly what they
are and where they are from.  The theory is that Ryoko and Nagi are, indeed, of
the same race, as are (of course), Ryo-ohki and Ken-ohki.  I would estimate them
to be a kind of warrior race, sort of like the Dorsai, with some becoming
mercenaries, other bounty hunters, others soldiers, and finally, some pirates.
I believe that the "-ohki" beings are essentially symbiotic organisms that
"bond" with their pilot, and that earning one of these rare and prized creatures
would be a sign of great glory.  Their pilots are the "best of the best".  A
possible motivation for Nagi's pursuit of Ryoko would be that Ryoko and Ryo-ohki
bonded when it was not authorized for them to do so, and then escaped into a
life of piracy.  Nagi was sent to chase them down and to kill Ryoko and probably
recover Ryo-ohki.
If this is true, then Ryoko is extremely atypical of her race, with morals and
values inverse to those of the norm.
