History:
Argyran Koi are a species of large, eel-like fish that can reach a maximum length of nearly 50 meters. The species is extremely docile and lives primarily in rivers and shallow waters where larger predators cannot reach it. Its scales are considered beautiful and are sometimes sought as ornamentation or armor.

One of the primary predators that these Koi are most likely to encounter use sharp teeth and bio-chemically generated electricity to shock their prey. As a survival mechanism, these fish have developed scales that are quite durable and resistant to electric shock. These scales are as durable as most class 5 armors and offer a mild lightsaber resistance of class 4. The scales also offer a class 7 resistance to electrical sources. Though the number of incidences is low, reports indicate that these scales with melt after a single direct blow from a lightsaber or a couple glancing blows. Reports also indicate that the scales are capable of withstanding two or three direct hits from a blaster before melting.

These beautiful fish are often kept as ornamental pets in artificial ponds by wealthy islanders from Argyran. In recent years, the habit has picked up and many wealthy businessmen have paid handsome fees to have an Argyran Koi pond installed at their business headquarters.

You know the drill, mate! This species is UNDER REVIEW - meaning that has been given a quick look, and it will be looked over more in-depth by myself or another Codex Judge. You will then be tagged when we either request edits, or have no edits to request (a.k.a. insta-approve).

This submission looks good although for the scales I would like some clarification on their saber resistance. Will they shatter like Fireworm scales under several blows? Or are they stronger/weaker then that?

The rest of the submission I see now issues with.

*looks up Fireworm and Fireworm Scales*

More or less. I figured the scales would melt after a direct hit from a lightsaber or a couple glancing blows. Maybe two or three direct hits from a blaster.
