Codex Denied Darkwood

[Taji Nelson]

OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION

• Intent: Correcting the distinct lack of organic ships that are not Vong. Make the Species that will serve as the basis of the ship for two characters who for whatever reason can't operate regular ships. Also, to give a literal tree ship.

GENERAL INFORMATION

• Name: The Darkwood
• Origins: Was made by the Veldorians in the distant past. One was discovered by Jake Ateris, and another was discovered by Taji Nelson. Taji mass produced the ship.
• Other Locations: The trees thrive in swamps, volcanic areas, tundras, deserts, and frozen locations.
• Classification: Tree
• Average Growth Cycle: When the tree starts out as a sapling, it takes it roughly a year to grow to the full height. After that, each of them will live for 1000 years. This is done by use of growth accelerants and the like to speed up the growth of the ship. When the tree dies, it shoots all sorts of spores across wherever it is, growing more of the Darkwood.
• Viability:
  The ship requires the energy of the Dark side of the Force as a form of sustenance. It also needs plant nutrients, and sunlight. It needs tainted water. It needs at least 300 Gallons of Tainted Water, and 30 Feet of Tainted Soil. It requires 10 Gallons of Plant Nutrients. It needs enough sunlight to power a small town with solar panels.
  
  
  
• Description: A white or gold tree that either is a sapling, or towering over anyone in the area. The trees have golden fruit, as well as brown fruit. The brown fruit is food for the Purrgils, while the golden fruit is fruit for Force Users. The Trees sometimes gain markings which show who the owner of the ship is.
  
  The wood of the trees can grow into various shapes when Force Energy is applied. This can also make it more durable.

PHYSICAL INFORMATION

• Average Height: Up to 1,000 Feet.
• Average Length: Up to 500 Feet.
• Color: White,
• Nutritional Value: On the exterior they grow pods that can release gas that attracts the Purrgill and gets them to take the tree ships wherever they want to go. They also grow fruit that is edible to humans and other similar species. It tastes like Pineapple, and has a complete nutrition for humans, providing all they need.
• Toxicity: N/A
• Other Effects:
  This fruit also helps the user regenerate their Force Energy at a rapid rate, and helps injuries heal faster as well. It immunizes them against most easy to cure diseases.
• Distinctions: The Trees have "pools" inside them that have electricity generating Fish inside them that they channel the electricity of in order to control the Purrgil. The trees use blasts of Dark Side energy to propel themselves into orbit, using the Solar Energy of the "Lasers" they can shoot in order to propel themselves to their goal.

Strengths:

• Can't turn off most of the ship systems: The ship's systems are organic, and thus most can't be turned off by EMPs or Slicers.
• Shields Owner from the Dark Side of the Force.

Weaknesses:

• Terrified: The ship has a phobia of termites and beavers. It is also afraid of Herbicide. It will either attempt running away at first, or if that isn’t possible shooting ship weapons at the source of Herbicide, or Beavers.
• Risk of Running Out of Energy: Should it run out of energy, it would go into stasis.
• Needs Solar Energy: It needs Solar Energy. It needs enough energy to power a small town.
• It needs Plant Nutrients. It needs at least 50 Gallons for each trip.
• Over Charging: Over Charging could kill the Tree Ship. It will need to spontaneously fly off or shoot something if it overcharges. This would require the energy of a large town to overload it.
• When landing the tree needs at least 30 Feet of Tainted Dirt due to the enormous root system it has.
• Exhausted Power Supply: Should the ship exhaust it’s power supply, it will grow a sort of protective amber cocoon around it, and go into stasis.
• Tree Weaknesses: This has the weaknesses of Trees; Fire, Acid, Rot, Etc.
• Edit: Killing the Avatar kills the Tree.
• Force Light: As this was made with the idea of being usable for Sith, and the like, this is vulnerable to the Dark Side of the Force.

Mixed Strengths / Weaknesses:

• Simple Controls: The controls of the ship are far simpler than what would be the controls of say a Tie Fighter or most modern ship. To pilot, your hands will be stuck in a kind of "goo" and then you move it to move the Tree when it is in ship mode.
• Sucks up Dark Side Energies at a rapid rate.

HISTORICAL INFORMATION


When he created the Unrooted, Taji decided one that could utilize the Darkside as a fuel source would also be needed. This tree set was made by Taji as well to help clean up the universe by eliminating tainted soil, and the like. These trees were made by him to suck in Dark Side Energies on worlds that are too dangerous to visit without specialized protection.

This is a direct copy past of the species Unrooted that you have also in the Codex. This isn't a brand new species - this is more of a sub race or another variation of the species. I'm denying this submission and asking that if you want this - this should be added onto the Unrooted Species submission or have a completely new write up for the darkwood.

From how its reading, its more like a type of Unrooted instead of a whole new species. Like Elf -> Dark Elf or Wood Elf. They're all Elves, but have different sub species.
