Emberlene's Daughter, The Jedi Generalist
Image Credit:
Name: Thi-Rd
Homeworld: Sangral
Development Thread: [When / If required.]
Average Measurements:
length: 2m
height: .22m
width: .05m
weight: 4kg
Cultivation Requirements: Salt Water
Strengths:
Alginate: Usable from gelling agents in food to medical dressing giving it some use for creating healing supplies.
Biotechnology: Alginic acid has been used because of it is a biocompatible medium for cell encapsulation and immobilization.
Weaknesses:
Stationary
Requires sunlight and water to grow
Distinctions:
Brownish-Yellow color
Grows in large clumps
Average Growth Cycle: 10 years
Average Life: The algae grows on the surface of the ocean and floats around until eaten. As it ages it loses the tightness of the clumps and drift apart being eaten by fish or just dissolving in the water from decay.
Nutritional Value: N/A
History: Discovered by jedi teams on the world of Sangral the lack of life on the planet meant they were looking for other things. Simple organisms that would life on the planet and maybe have survived whatever it was that had killed the original inhabitants. The algae itself was discovered floating in the ocean and samples collected to see if there was more to it. Under a microscope it looks like any marine algae that might show up on any world with oceans and grows in large beds where it is interwoven together. From a scientific standpoint it is able to have alginate extracted from it that allows for a gelling property. This works good for patches where you want to smear healing liquid over the skin and not have it run. The cellular immobilization also works well for biotechnology where organic circuits need to be placed in gel packs.
Intent: To add some simple forms of life and to a world and give it extra purpose or interest while expanding its lore.
