Spode's Vessel

	Vehicle Type: Space

Information: When the followers of a deity known as Spode made it to the galactic space age, they took the idea of a space "ship" to a very literal place. Everything from the solar sails to the automatic ore fans have been mocked by any space race that encounters this ship. Their laughter has resulted in a quick display of the ship's destructive power.

The followers of Spode are known to have a large cache of WMDs that should be avoided at all cost.

I-RV (E-Class)

	Vehicle Type: Space

Information: Advertised as an interplanetary recreational vehicle, it comes equipped with all the needed gadgets for anyone that wishes to camp among the stars in the very literal sense of the phrase. Mounted on the central back is a series of radio dishes that can send and receive four different forms of alien radio waves for those trips where you find yourself hopelessly lost. The upper cabin is where the commanding bridge is located while the lower is designed for living space with an intent of sight seeing.

Interestingly enough, some models of this ship include a few civilian-class weapons as an added option. They are often advertised as the "thrill seeker" model.

Traditional Saucer

	Vehicle Type: Space

Information: We've fallen behind. There's no hiding that. We've had a few "incidents," and then there's Al completely abandoning his job in the name of trying to find out what has happened to his race, so things have piled up. That said, I'll be trying to post some of the simpler profiles, which are mostly buildings and space ships.

This file is one of the oldest. Remember those old science fiction movies that feature pie-tin flying saucers? Well, it should come to nobody's surprise that this particular kind of model does exist in the galaxy. It is often used in solo exploration missions and traded as needed. As such, no one particular race is associated with this model.

The interior of this ship is not like how it is depicted in the films. In fact, it's rather cramp. There is no real cargo bay of any kind, but it does posses a kind of molecular replicator which will take atomic data from laser scans and replicate biological life using elements from the air and earth. However, it cannot create life in the traditional sense. If anything, it creates corpses for scanned life for study.

Nosiwee Buildings

	Structure Type: Government

Information: This building is known as the Tree of Wisdom by the Nosiwee race. Al's been furiously digging into the information associated with this race and these buildings in the hope of contacting them, but from the information provided about this building, there appears to be no way of making contact with it. For one, the building is primarily made out of wood with stone blocks acting as supports for the upper chamber. Due to their ability to fly, access to the governmental offices are strictly air-based. There is a door on the ground floor, but access to the higher areas is kept under tight security, which is strange for a reportedly peaceful race. What little information we have on the inner workings of this building suggest that the Nosiwee that gather there channel their psychic energy in order to observe the best path to take in global matters and intergalactic politics.

	Structure Type: Commercial

Information: The Coop Club is an oddly designed building that defies the law of gravity. Though each wooden bulb is connected to the other via a stone stairwell, there is noting supporting the actual weight of the building underneath it. The only thing more mysterious about this building is the top VIP room. There is no information about what goes on in that room. The rest of the building apparently is attuned to specific alternate realities based on their position in space. It is here where the Nosiwee go to entertain themselves by observing the most extreme "what if" scenarios.

	Structure Type: Residential

Information: The housing structure for the Nosiwee are a series of elevated duplexes. They are built extremely high to prevent members of the race from accessing the private homes of others through flight. The only way into any of these buildings is through a secured elevator or stairwell. Both are locked by a form of psychic technology that can only be opened through brain waves. Once in the actual living area, the view is said to be spectacular. The structure even has an open common patio for anyone who wishes to spend their time out doors instead of inside. Though the interior is said to be just as lovely and fully furnished.

Nosiwee

Diet: Herbivore Danger Level: Low (Pack x10 - x15) Social Ability: High Culture: Friendly, Religious Galactic Class: Shaman

Information: So for the last ten days, Al has been pulling overtime and has actually found the file on the race described to us by our Zander contact over a week ago. He’s now off trying to get our SETI lab to contact them, but I don’t think we have the equipment to broadcast a signal that far across space.

Anyway, I went over the file with him last night when he found it. I had to drive back to work in order to do that at midnight, but I did go over it with him just to make sure he found the correct psychic. That’s kind of why I’m posting this later in the day than I normally would.

The stories of their psychic powers are true. They can see into both the future and past as well as into the alternate timelines that number into infinity. However, they did not always start out with this ability. The best explanation that has been concluded from their rather confusing history records is that their primitive form had an on-going mutation in their DNA that slowly developed a psychic ability. This mutation, at least in this reality, took the physical form of a third eye. While it doesn’t function as an eye, it behaves like one, and for the longest time, it was able to see into the minds of others. It wasn’t until they because a space race that the true nature of their psychic abilities were unlocked. It’s unclear as to how this occurred, but their records indicate it had something to do with seeing the planet for the first time from orbit.

Their culture is based on the idea that the entire universe is just one of many that are constantly in flux. The decisions we make, no matter how small, have a ripple effect that effect everything in ways that are normally too distant for us to understand. But their culture can see what effects these choices have on their relationships and will often take the path of less conflict or no path at all if they cannot find one to their liking. As a result, they are a race that likes to keep to themselves. Possibly because every potential contact has a strong likelihood of being a bad one. While their ability is far reaching and widely known in the galaxy, they are pretty cozy in their section of the galaxy.

At least we know where to find them. Angle 138.6^o at 8,503.76 parsecs. And I’m pretty sure our technology isn’t that powerful.

Wooden UFO

	Vehicle Type: Space

Information: Apparently, this small barrel with iron wings and white-wall tires was able to get into space much to the surprise of nearly everyone here on this planet.

To be honest, I’m just wondering how it doesn’t burn to ashes during the re-entry process.

Charm Cab

	Vehicle Type: Land Class: R Armor: 20% Threat Level: 27% Speed: 53%

Information: The vehicle of choice for those who are in love with nature and want to keep it as green as possible. The only draw back is the lack of interior cab space, as it can only fit two.

It is surprisingly very fast given the fact that it is powered by a solar fan located on the roof of the car. For cloudy days or night time driving, excess power collected while the car is either idling or parked is used from an onboard battery. This power only lasts for a few hour max, which makes long distance traveling somewhat difficult on those who want to explore the wonders of nature.

Yellow is the standard color, but it can be changed upon request of purchase.

Mosquito SSFJ

	Vehicle Type: Air Class: M Armor: 10% Threat Level: 50% Speed: 40%

Information: This super-sonic fighter jet can reach speeds of Mach 3 and still be able to turn at sharp angles without losing speed. Its designed for with a “Gun and Run” air tactic when all other tactics fail.

However, those ground turrets able to score a direct hit on this jet will find that they are quite easy to destroy. In order to gain the speed and power this jet has, durability had to be sacrificed. Too much weight would slow it down, making any kind of escape from the assault a risk-filled run.

The odds of hitting one of these jets is approximately 1 out of 345,308,120,000.

SWAT Walker

	Vehicle Type: Land Class: M Armor: 22% Threat Level: 57% Speed: 21%

Information: We’ve been having some trouble with the servers the last few days cycling through data and then deleting information or publishing entries late as was the case with the previous entry, but things should be working now. I suspect it has something to do with Ross.

Anyway, this vehicle is a police vehicle that is used in extreme terrorist situation. Don’t let the ratings fool you into thinking that this vehicle is all guns and no armor. Reports indicate that this is the last resort of all last resorts due to its immense firepower and ability to withstand most rocket-propelled weaponry.

Now, if this should fall into the terrorist hands, that’s another story.

Duo

	Vehicle Type: Space

Information: Designed by pirates and smugglers, this space craft features a large central cockpit with intuitive controls for those quick changes in flight. It is equipped with a Wormhole Key in order to make large jumps across the galaxy for those who wish to create a large gap between themselves and those that want them dead. If escape is not an option, a second cockpit with a mounted gun is available for use, either by another crew member or the auto-fighter option. The gun features a 360^o rotation with a 45^o pitch for the gun.

Most space races use this ship in a “Gun and Run” tactic where the pilot will chart the quickest getaway route while a gunner snipes of anyone pursuing them.

Zander Contacted

To be perfectly honest, I didn’t expect this to happen so soon.

Last night before I left, Al came flying down the hall. Literally. He has wings, remember? He was moving at such speed that it surprised me, especially for flying indoors. He claimed that someone in our SETI department found a Zander colony and made contact. I don’t remember ever seeing him so excited about anything before, but he pulled me with one of his four arms down the hall. Thankfully, my weight prevented him from being able to lift the both of us into flight.

When we got there, the Zander looked to be rather annoyed. Apparently, he was put on hold for the better part of 15 minutes and is of the impatient type. We must have contacted the “Time is money” kind of Zander instead of the “I would like to know more about my past” variety.

Long story short, the information he gave us was not one Al wanted to hear. Our Zander contact said that while in space, they came in contact with a religious alien race that pointed them towards a race of psychics on the far side of the galaxy past the Galactic Core. This race is said to not only be able to read minds but can see into parallel universes. They view these alternate realities as a form of entertainment and are continually fascinated by what would have happened if one small change occurred in any timeline. This ability, supposedly, also gives them a kind of psychic hindsight that is used to ensure they continue growing down the right path of peace. So if anyone knows what has happened to Al’s home planet, it would be this race.

Unfortunately, the Zander we talked to didn’t catch the name of the race, so we will just have to pay extra close attention to any aliens we may have on file that have a psychic ability that falls into this description.

Ship of Secrets

	Vehicle Type: Sea Class: R Armor: 30% Threat Level: 30% Speed: 40%

Information: There’s more myth than fact about this ship, which has become the center of death rituals for some cultures that share a similar view. It is believed that the ship carries the souls of the dead to the other side where they are reborn in a parallel universe and continue to live their life in a new form. Variations of this story include the souls being sent to other worlds without death being a ticket onto the ship.

It is a rarely sighted ship, but there seem to be a lot of paintings and small-scale replicas made of the ship.

Bull Ship

	Vehicle Type: Space

Information: An usually designed space ship that got its name for its bull-shaped horns. These horns normally are used for smuggling, but how anything can fit in them is up to only those who are familiar with the space craft to know. It features duel cockpits for when you have to gun-and-run.

The Fool's Gold

	Vehicle Type: Air Class: E Armor: 18% Threat Level: 68% Speed: 14%

Information: The story behind this aircraft is that it was the result of a bet between four major trade companies. Each founder were friends with the other, and they decided to hold a contest to produce the most magnificent flying machine ever seen. They all submitted prototypes that were ready for mass production, but none of them were able to fly.

The poorest member of the four then submitted the design for this aircraft, and all of his friends laughed at him. They called the machine impossible, aerodynamically impractical, and (ironically) a fool’s dream. What they didn’t know is that the design was already tested and proven to be capable of flight. Having the upper hand, the designer increased the stakes of the bet to include ownership and management rights to the other three companies. Naturally, they accepted.

And then lost the bet to this flying machine.
