General behavior: Hostile unless fed Durasteel, this is because Durasteel is considered a rarity to them and a sign of friendship. They are a generally hive insects, though it is known that they can survive alone. Sol userally don't come in contact with other sentient life, but userally create a barking sound to scare them away. If provoked they will fire this headed projectiles at the sentient life. If they have a sent of Durasteel or rare metals, they ignore all and search for the deposit.
History: The Yaret-Sol were a hidden Yuuzhan Vong project in a secret facility hidden in the sand of Dahomey. The Vong were trying to create a creature that was capable of being a persoal weapon like the Amphistaff and a distance weapon like the Yaret-Kor. This was created in the Yaret-Sol, though its creation was at the end of the Yuuzhan Vong Invasion and the project was scraped and the creatures left to die. Yet they adapted to their surroundings and began to develop a need of digesting heavy metals that would not melt in their molten organ sack. Such metals at Durasteel and Alusteel were considered treats for the creatures. After 800 years the Yaret-Sor mainly lived in tunnels they created for mining heavy metals only to return to the surface to reheat their armor and conducted heat to their Molten Sacks.
Their Molten Sacks were made to heat long distant projectiles that shoot plasmids sand and rock. It is used to break down metals that contain iron to bite sized objects. This would then shoot at a speed of 1,200 meters a second at a temperature of 1,500 Celsius. The sack itself is made of a organic plastic that constantly rubs up against whatever it comes in contact with. The sacks organic plastic keeps to superheated metals and rock from warming the insect. If the sack is at all punctured while the creature is superheating, it will explode and create a plasma bomb within second. Though it can only reach the max of 1,500 Celsius after 5 seconds of charging itself, it can shoot up to 2 shots a second. The creature was not modified this way but evolved. It requires iron to keep its whole body oxidized or it would suffocate. This is because of the plastic sack as it uses iron in the bloodstream to combine as a glue to keep the molten pellet from braking apart. This effect is slow, melting the iron before reaching the max temperature where the pellet turns into a plasm and if not released can explode if reaching past the max temperature. Since the organic plastic is constantly creating friction in the body, the creature has adapted to only eat rocks that contain rare nutrients and metals that contain iron.
The organic plastic sack still has many unknown properties because of the lost data of its creators. Though from preliminary findings the sack is made of a supercooling thick skin that uses the carbon dioxide collected after the use in the circulatory system and uses it as a coolant. The thick plastic membrane that always moving, creating friction within the sack that superheats the rock and metal within. Their are small sponge like holes between the two layered sack. Carbon dioxide is ran along the exterior armor of the insect and cooled from the underground cold air. It is then brought back to the as used oxygen and has the iron in the blood carrying it. When the iron is extracted the cooled carbon is also extracted and used to cool the membrane before it is used as pressure to shoot the pellet as such a speed.
The creature is rarely found on the surface of the planet, as it digs tunnels underground. This has eliminated the need for eyes as they evolved blind and use their incredible nose to find their way. Their noses developed the ability to break through rocks and soil and smell iron deposited and rocks that are needed to keep them alive within 100 meters of their position. This helps them get as much by food as quick as possible.
