Oversear

Vehicle Type: Sea
Class: R
Armor: 33%
Threat Level: 45%
Speed: 22%
Information: According to the Scrolls of the Sea, this ship moves with the tides of an aquatic planet where civilization has two choices. Either live at the mercy of the sea or live with the sea. The former of the two involves building ports and island barges that ultimately are destroyed by tidal waves and large sea creatures. The latter is a more peaceful approach involving staying along the limited shoreline and utilizing the offerings of the sea such as fish and the various corpses of marine life that wash ashore. Those that follow the second method are rewarded by the visit from the Oversear.

This barge is said to dock only in areas where the citizens have found a perfect balance living with nature. It rewards their hard work and effort with unimaginable treasures. The clam that rides this barge, though clearly not sentient, is said to be the keeper and judge. If upon docking it opens its shell, the citizens of the township are deemed worthy of its treasures for the limited time it is with them.

The Oversear is said to dock for only half an hour once every month. During the rest of the month, it travels the vast global seas through areas said too dangerous for any normal ship to follow.

B'ganag'ng

Vehicle Type: Land
Class: R
Armor: 18%
Threat Level: 64%
Speed: 18%
Information: I’m not sure what to make of this vehicle. The records are still being translated as we speak due to the fact that we lost one of our alien translators in the last wave of natural disasters that hit our area. It was a very heavy loss to us here at the company. But given the wave of new machinery and vehicles we’ve been getting beamed to us for our records from our galactic allies, I can only assume this is used in some kind of sonic warfare or offensive. It definitely can’t be used for entertainment purposes.

Beatflo

Vehicle Type: Land
Class: R
Armor: 37%
Threat Level: 38%
Speed: 25%
Information: A small, unmanned tank used to project sonic waves at a target to shatter it. It is often used in construction, though recent thefts of this vehicle have resulted in several populated neighborhoods being reduced to rubble due to the ill wishes of some juvenile with a want to broadcast their music at insane volumes. As a result, construction of this vehicle has been banned on the planet on which this can be found.

However, in recent history, a group of inventive individuals have been able to reverse engineer this machine into a large, industrial vacuum for construction sites. Since then, on-the-job accidents have increased by 15%.

Geyroholl

Structure Type: Government
Information: It’s actually the top of an underground government base. This small building is used to communicate with the outside world. The actual base itself is several million miles underground and, naturally, kept secret.

We suspect military takeover, so this building is being watched very closely by our operations.

Ypouoangry

Structure Type: Government
Information: An organic building that is comprised of some rather odd looking colors. The entire planet is, in fact, full of oddly-colored flora so it shouldn’t come as a surprise that this building would be just as colorful. As government building goes, this building is used to hold large political parties. More often than not, this building is utilized after a major election.

Bakaberc

Vehicle Type: Space
Information: A single-passenger ship designed for trading, communicating, and war. Essentially, it is a Jack-of-All-Trades ship for the lone galactic wolf. Its iconic large speaker, while comical in appearance to most empires, does function quite well in broadcasting any kind of message to the masses. It’s also connected to a digital sound system, making it a great tool for broadcasting music and other sounds.

Due to its large size, playing any form of audio above four (4) Earth decibels is considered an act of war. Tests have shown that a 4.1 Earth decibel sound, no matter how short, is enough to cause even laser-proof glass to shatter. At 7 Earth decibels, the majority of organic life will explode due to extreme internal vibration (after going deaf, that is).

ESSE

Vehicle Type: Space
Information: The Extraterrestrial Space Ship Express (ESSE) is a two-passenger cruiser designed to get its occupants from here to there in less time than conventional and larger passenger ships. Completely automatic, it comes equip with a galactic positioning system that updates by the nanosecond enabling it to alter a flight path should war break out in a quadrant.

This ship was designed for diplomats and traders that make frequent inter-galactic trips, so don’t expect much luggage space in the cargo hold.

Blistory

Structure Type: Industrial
Information: Despite its thorny design and rather menacing appearance, this factory is responsible for producing Bliss, a brand of soda pop that is said to cause extreme happiness to anyone to drinks it. However, its effect only works on one space race. Most of the other races are not affected by the chemical combination. In fact, it has an adverse affect on a neighboring race that causes them to experience extreme lust rage resulting in a high raise in aggressive rape and murder.

Astrotorium

Structure Type: Government
Information: This building is technically a light house, which means it is partly a Residential class building. However, it is often used as the City Hall for most costal cities. As you can tell from the design, the bulk of the building is on the lower floor while the actual light house part is housed in the central tower. The building is also not very tall, measuring in at just four stories. In order to create a decent beacon of light that can be seen, this building is often built on high, clear peaks along cliffs and hills.

Bullquir

Diet: Omnivore
Danger Level: Medium
Social Ability: Low
Information: This creature is found on the plains of the surviving half of the Quir’s home planet. While its diet is mostly made up of grass and fruit, it can and does eat the meat of any creature that threatens its herd. The alpha male is usually the one that makes the kill with its large horns. Its tusks are incapable of doing any real physical damage, though pressure from its biting jaws has been known to cause hairline fractures in some cases. Young tend to stay with their family even into their adult cycle. Offspring rarely leave the herd unless they are forced out by the alpha.

Quiraptorish

Diet: Omnivore
Danger Level: Medium (Predator)
Social Ability: Low
Information: It lives in the jungles of the half of the Quir’s home planet that retained an atmosphere, but its no bigger than a domestic cat here on Earth. While it does display predatory behavior, it rarely hunts. Instead, it sets up traps consisting of objects that fall and surround its prey in an arena-like construction where it can get a jump on it at its leisure. It’s unusually parental behavior suggests that it isn’t very fond of children, as young are abandoned the moment they know how to use their claws.

Quir

Diet: Omnivore
Danger Level: Medium
Social Ability: Medium
Culture: Friendly, Military
Galactic Class: N/A
Information: This strange alien race was responsible for its own extinction. Upon reaching a civilized state of being, its peaceful nature was corrupted by its planet’s own Arms Race. The resulting conflict between nations started a global war where any nation that could not keep up was reduced to a pile of rubble. Records are unclear as to what happened in the final moments of this race’s history, but the only certain thing is that the planet was split in two. While one half of the planet was able to retain an atmosphere due to its abundance of plant life and water, the other half became another massive stellar asteroid the size of our Earth’s moon.

It is believed that no members of this race survived. However, outside of photographs and fossilized remains, two very unique but very similar creatures came out of this extinction that may carry on the DNA of this alien race.

Paiese

Diet: Herbivore
Danger Level: Low
Social Ability: Medium
Information: The eyes of this creature are not physically connected to optic nerves of any kind. They are suspended in a fluid that functions are electrical receptors for the optic nerves located at the base of the bulbs. This gives the creature a very unique ability to rotate its eyes in any direction it needs to, either interdependent from the eye on the other side or in synchronization. The bone plates located above the bulbs are there to protect it from the suns harmful rays.

Its muscle density in its body is rather high in order to support its large head on such a small body.

Ergh

Diet: Herbivore
Danger Level: Medium
Social Ability: Medium
Information: This slimy creature lives in large areas of muddy soil and high humidity where it feasts upon long grasses and roots. Its jaw can open a full 180o in order to consume large vegetables that grow just below the surface. Its legs are limber enough to give it an extra boost when running away from predators while strong enough to support its weight. But most of all, this creature lacks the sense of smell. For all it knows, the mud it is wallowing through could be its own waste.

Dinde

Diet: Omnivore
Danger Level: Medium
Social Ability: High
Information: This alien primate has the unique ability to blend its mating call with the rest of the ambient noises of the jungle it is found in. Its large ears contain a specialized organ that can pick out a specific frequency from each call to determine if it came from another member of this species or the one that it is trying to mimic. Observations of this ability show that it cannot reach the lower octaves of large creatures.

Another unique feature to this creature is its faun-like horns. Though they pose no threat if found on the wrong end of a head butt, they do serve a purpose in identifying family groups. Depending on bloodlines and which traits dominate over others upon breeding, the horns will change shape and even length between individual family groups.

Miludo

Diet: Omnivore
Danger Level: Medium
Social Ability: Medium
Information: Once thought to be an herbivore, it is clear from its diet that it does have a taste for meat even if it is in the form of sea creatures. Its skull cap never fully formed bone mass but evolved a protective layer of fat that pulses during brain activity that would be considered extremely advance for this creature, such as logical problem solving and critical analysis of a situation. The claws on its feet help give it added traction in its natural environment of purple-colored swamp marshes. They act like hooks on Velcro by attaching themselves to tangled grasses and then breaking them in half when taking a step forward. The breaking of the grass actually fertilizes the marshes they live in, so the extinction of this creature would mean the extinction of the swamps it also lives in.

Opticoid

Diet: Omnivore
Danger Level: Medium
Social Ability: Medium
Information: This creature has eyes nearly everywhere except its head! It has three sets on its biceps, a pair on the forearms, a pair looking backwards on its shoulders, and a large central eye on its chest. Where the eyes should be on its head are replaced with giant bat-like ears. Sneaking up on this creature has been proven to be impossible due to its omni-directional vision. Much of its brain activity is hypothesized to be devoted to sight, which may explain why this bipedal creature has yet to evolve past a primate-like state of intelligence.

Cuddle Bug

Diet: Herbivore
Danger Level: Medium
Social Ability: Medium
Information: A large, furry insect that is a very popular pet among races in its quadrant of space. Its body is mostly made out of fat, making it very soft and huggable. Hence the name. Its wall-eyed expressions has been known to be rather enjoyed by older women of some social groups, often being called cute even when it doesn’t mean to be. Owners are instructed never to feed it sugar or anything that has the same chemical make-up as sugar. The reasons have yet to be published, but one can only imagine what could happen.

Oglark

Diet: Herbivore
Danger Level: Low
Social Ability: Medium
Information: The hinge to its jaw sits far behind its eye cavity, which suggests this creature has a small brain size and visual information tends to get to it late. It has four tubular ears that can pick up sound as compensation. The odd thing about it is the suction cup fingers and foot this creature has. Normally, creatures with these features would be found in moist areas, but this one prefers to live in areas of high altitude where moisture is hard to come by. It uses its six wings to glide on cold hair currents to get from one location to another. Landing is just a matter of making sure its suction cups attach to a rock-face surface. Its diet is made up of mountain grass, what few breed that grows at those heights.

Mopunk

Diet: Herbivore
Danger Level: Low
Social Ability: Medium
Information: A tall black bird that refuses to act like one. It barks instead of tweets. It chooses to run when it has shown evidence that it can fly. It only flies if something chases it off a cliff and it finds itself in a free fall. It will strip trees bare of both leaves and fruit leaving nothing behind. And despite its coloring, it likes to be seen.

It won its name partly for its behavioral quirks but also because of the Mohawk-style crest atop its head.
