Act 06: Needle in a haystack
(Skek'zus Quall)


Bel'demnic. Bak'rofsen system. Auril Sector.

Populated by vacationing sentient travelers, fishermen, and cortosis miners, the planet has little to offer that cannot be found on any other aquatic planet.

No notable species encountered. No samples obtained.



Arrakan. Sulphis System. Outer Rim.

A sentient species of delphinoids resides on this planet. Somehow the species, without hands, managed genetic manipulation of an aquatic, humanoid species into a slave-caste. An interesting accomplishment. Also populating the planet is a species of giant, one-eyed sentient squid.

No other notable species encountered. Samples of the sentient delphinoids and squid species were obtained.



Dubrillion. Dubrillion System. Myto Sector.

A complete disappointment.

No notable species encountered. No samples obtained.

 

[Captain Larraq]

Drexel. Drexel system. Lol Sector.

An interesting find. Aquatic reptiles known as Sea-Dragons populate these oceans. The species is sentient and communicate using ultrasonic signals. Live specimen of hatchling acquired for further study of ultrasonic communication.

No other notable species encountered. Genetic samples obtained of Sea-Dragons.



Aquilaris. Aquilaris system of the Sanbra Sector.

Several floating cities exist on this planet. Colonies of aquatic species from Naboo thrive in these oceans. Opee Sea Killer encountered by probe. Species deemed unsuitable as host species due to propulsion method, behavior, and general adaption to live near rocky outcroppings.

No other notable species encountered. No samples obtained.



Alluuvia. Alluvian System, within Elrood Sector.

The planet is home to a sentient species of Eel that has reach a tribal level of technology. The creatures reach an average length of three to four meters, have webbed fingers and are capable of infrared vision. The species exhibit tribal behavior and hunt schools of fish in a nomadic manner.

No other notable species located on planet. Samples of Anguilla genetics were obtained.

 

[Captain Larraq]

Aquaris. Cvetaen system of the Sumitra Sector.

The planet is devoid of landmass and supports a vast aquatic ecosystem. The only species of particular note is a large squid similar to numerous squid species throughout the galaxy.

No other notable species located on planet. No samples obtained.



Drexel. Drexel system. Lol Sector.

An interesting find. Aquatic reptiles known as Sea-Dragons populate these oceans. The species is sentient and communicate using ultrasonic signals. Live specimen of hatchling acquired for further study of ultrasonic communication.

No other notable species encountered. Genetic samples obtained of Sea-Dragons.


Lamaredd. Lamaro system. Outer Rim.

Numerous sentient aquatic species have colonized this ocean world. A 750 meter long creature was encountered that could swim at high speeds and open its mouth to nearly 200 meters wide. The creature was highly territorial. Samples were obtained.

No other species of note were encountered. No additional samples taken.

 

[Captain Larraq]

Dac. Calamari system. Calamari Sector.

As expected, many notable species were encountered on this famous planet. A telepathic amphibian was located that had a most curious effect on rancors. Numerous species were encountered... One had several rows of sharp teeth, large pincers and facial tentacles, were remarkably fast, and grew to several meters long. A species of 30 meter long sentient mammals was located by the songs it uses to communicate with one another. As was a most curious find. A species of jellyfish that formed a type of sentient 'hive mind' when found in large swarms.

Several other species of fish, squid, reptile, and other aquatic life forms located. Samples taken of the above species.



Velusia. Velus system. Core Worlds.

No noteworthy species encountered. A curiosity though. A divergent species of humans that have developed aquatic capabilities lives on this world. Samples taken for curiosity sake.

No other primary species located. No other samples taken.

 

[Captain Larraq]

Maramere. Karthakk system. Karthakk Sector.

A sea creature very similar to an Opoo Sea Killer was encountered. It was blue and attempted to eat a probe. An orange furred sentient species inhabits these oceans as well.

No other species of note were encountered. No additional samples taken.




Paulking XIV. Paulking system. Outer Rim.

Flying Crabs, furred fish, and a curious talking algae were the only species of note encountered... and they were almost not worth mentioning.

No other species of note were encountered. No samples taken.



Pantolomin. Panto system. Dolomar Sector.

A native sentient aquatic species...

No other species of note were encountered. No samples taken.

 

[Captain Larraq]

Pria. Pria system. Core Worlds.

A curious species of sentient gastropods was encountered. The species was nearly four meters in length and covered in a strange type of tentacles. The species had an odd, symbiotic relationship with an indigenous crustacean

No other species of note were encountered. Samples were taken for curiosity sake.



Glee Anselm. Glee Anselm system. Jalor Sector.

Home of the Nautolan and Anselmi sentient species...

No other species of note were encountered. No samples taken.





Vaynai. Vaynai system. Chorlian Sector.

Several common species of edible fish encountered. No different from any other ocean world. A curious plant species located. A type of seaweed that is commonly processed into a medicinal substance known as “Slick” that can speed healing when applied to a wound or ingested. Commonly abused recreationally for the euphoric delirium side effects caused by the drug. Samples taken.

No other species of note were encountered. No other samples taken.

 

[Captain Larraq]

Kamino. Kamino system. Wild Space.

A large population of flying cetacean creature was encountered here. The creature could propel themselves through water or air with equal ease. The species reached 10 meters in length and was similar to a number of 'medium sized podding animals' found on aquatic worlds.

No other primary species located. No other samples taken.




Manaan. Pyrshak system. Inner Rim.

A popular republic planet in recent years, Manaan is heralded as the only source of Kolto. The local aquatic sentients, Selkath, are hardly noteworthy for this project. A local species of predatory fish, the Firaxan Shark drew our attention. Large and predatory, the fish is no different than any other creature on a trillion other worlds. On the surface anyway. Rumors were heard of the species involvement in the development of Kolto. Genetic samples were acquired.

No other noteworthy species were encountered. No other samples taken.

 

[Captain Larraq]

Kesh. Kesh system. Wild Space.

Several species of bird and reptile were found on the planet, as well as a curious species of Fluorescent algae. A near-human aquatic subspecies was located on the planet. Samples taken of the human subspecies to isolate specific genetic divergences.

No other noteworthy species were encountered. No other samples taken.




Naboo. Naboo system. Chommell Sector.

Curiously, the planet holds a great deal of aquatic species for a standard terrestrial planet.
A promising species, the Sando Aqua Monster we encountered was massive. It was nearly 200 meters long and surprisingly agile, seeming to possess many reptilian and feline traits. Also encountered was a massive, predatory eel species with bioluminescent nodules on either side of its body. The last species to be encountered on this planet is a most unexpected one. A small, playful species of creature known as an 'Otta'. The species general behavior and mannerisms are quite friendly and playful. Genetic samples were acquired. Identifying the genetic code for the creature's behavior could be beneficial to the project.

Samples taken of Terazods, Blarths, Sando Aqua Monster, Colo Claw Fish, and Otta.

 

[Captain Larraq]

Argyra IV. Argyra system. Outer Rim.

Colonized by numerous sentient aquatic species and home to plenty of mysteries. A large number of curious fish, reptiles, and crustaceans exist in these waters. Bio-chemical electrical shock as a hunting mechanism, bio-electrical signals as a tracking mechanism, durable and resilient scales, numbing poison secretions, and questionable social behavior are seen across a wide range of species. One, however, does prove to be particularly promising. The creature naturally reaches sizes ideal for this project. Several of its behaviors and instincts appear ideal for the genetic programming of the target construct. A number of curiosities remains to be resolved about the creature.

I'll need a live specimen. One of the large ones.

Multiple noteworthy creatures encountered. Numerous samples taken. Suggest further study.
