Species Name: Calnennore, also called Thallassans
Designation: Sentient
Homeworld: Gaeren III, also called Thallassa
Language: Lalambe, many know Minnisiat and Basic
Average height of adults: 1.8 m - 2.2 m
Skin color: White, Blue, Green, with various stripes or patterning coloring dependent on symbiotes
Hair color: Black, Green, Blue, Purple -- Rare Red or Blonde
Breathes: Oxygen or Dissolved Oxygen
Strengths:
*Poisonous
Hemoneurolitic -- primarily used for hunting -- biologically, it takes a lot of energy to produce and it is in small quantity, but potent in order to slow fast moving fish
Calnennore Blood has an enzyme that will break the toxin down, or heat can destabilize the chemical
*Can Breathe Under Water
5 gills along each side of the neck
Must remain moist or infection and breathing issues may result
*Excellent Swimmers
Up to 11 km per hour (about 7 miles at top speed)
Average cruising speed is about 4 - 5 km per hour
*Ages Slowly
Reproductive maturity begins as early as 200 years
Gestation period is approximately 20 months
Menopause typically begins around 1200 years
Low fertility in males past 1300 years
Considered adolescent until 300 years -- though may appear to be an adult to other races anywhere between 150 - 300 years
Cannot Hybridize -- at least not successfully with viable offspring
*High Metabolism
Average body temperature is approximately 37*C
High level of cellular regeneration -- Related to healing rate and aging process
*Relatively Quick Healing Capability -- in proper conditions
Dependent on level and control of Force Sensitivity, however in general:
Wound healing can occur within days rather than weeks for shallow cuts or abrasions with proper nutrition
Skeletal Musculo injuries can heal within weeks with proper nutrition and therapy
Resilient towards infections, typically to native, viral, bacterial, or fungal -- due to potentially high parasite load in a less domesticated environment and constant introduction to immune system
*Force Sensitive
Highly variable among individuals, but possibly like the Vornskrs on Myrkr, the Calnennore use the Force to sense prey
Weaknesses:
*Force Dependent
To obtain food and maintain their levels of cellular generation
Without the Force, the Calnennore may not be able to survive for long
*Dependent on Aquatic or Moist Environments
Calnennore cannot physically survive for more than a few minutes on planets like Mustafar or Tatooine without specialized equipment.
*Highly Susceptible to Intense Energy Strikes
Energy blasts, such as Force lightning, natural lightning, stun blasts, etc. seemingly short circuit the Calnennore nervous system. Typically, individuals slip into a comatose state or may die without medical attention.
*Webbed Feet and Hands
While the degree of webbing is dependent on the individual, walking and dexterity may be hindered on land
*Dependent on Symbiotes for Full Nutrition
Microscopic creatures, similar to dinoflagellates on earth, live in their skin and hair
These creatures are photosynthetic and dependent on their host for protection
The symbiote shares nutrients with the host
Responsible for color patterns in skin and hair
Will begin to parasitize the host if conditions become unfavorable
*Can Easily Absorb Toxins through Skin
Due to the connection with their symbiotes, the skin is thinner and more porous for nutrient transfer than human skin
*Reproduces very slowly
Low population size
Low species diversity
Low rate of mutation
*High Metabolism
Requires food every couple of hours
Symbiotes may parasitize host if conditions are not favorable
*Allergic to Bacta
A dip in the bacta tank may cause anaphylactic shock
A less severe reaction is blistering of the skin, followed by anaphylaxis upon next exposure
Bacta in the gills will result in life-long damage to the function of the gills and future breathing difficulty
*Allergic to Kolto
The concentration of a kolto patch or injection may cause anaphylactic shock
A less severe reaction is blistering of the skin, followed by anaphylaxis upon next exposure
Kolto in the gills will result in life-long damage to the function of the gills and future breathing difficulty
Distinctions:
*Extra Jointed Appendage on Forearm called Fin Blade -- Extra Joint at wrist that swings free of the elbow with skin that stretches between bone and elbow Bone is extremely sharp.
*A poisonous gland rests at the base of the wrist that coats the bone as it is flung open.
*Gills -- Five along neck line
*Wide Mouths -- Full of sharp teeth
*Large Eyes -- contain 2 irises
*Flattened Noses
*Webbed Feet and Hands
*Wide hips and backs
*Seemingly Elongated
Average Lifespan: 1500 - 2000 Galactic Standard Years
Races: Three Main Races:
Gea'Nen -- Almost fully aquatic
Ring'Nen -- Typically found in the poles where it is quite frigid -- adapted for extreme cold
Ada'Nen -- highly Terrestrial group often coastal, better adapted to live on land, often found in tree houses near coastal jungles
Estimated Population: Not common. Evolved on one world, tend to stick to it -- however exploration and expansion was attempted. Some cultural exiles distributed among Outer Rim Territories.
Diet: Typically raw fish and mollusk eaters, but require nutrients obtained by photosynthetic symbiotes living in their skin. Ada'Nen are also accustomed to eating fruit. Ring'Nen prefer cooked foods, most often other mammals on the ice pack. Gae'Nen farm algae for consumption as well. They need to eat a lot. Bacta and Kolto are known allergens. It appears that many algae, or aquatic plant derivatives, not native to Gaeren III cause severe to moderate allergic reactions in Calnennore.
Communication: Telepathic empathy with many body gestures and some verbal communication --> Lalambe
Culture: The races of the Calnennore share a nomadic and tribal lifestyle, an insatiable curiosity about life, and an easy going humor. Typically, they keep to themselves and want to have nothing to do with the galaxy as a whole. They are a long-lived race, who reproduce slowly -- children are considered precious. Death is not revered or feared, in general, instead the Calnennore chose to celebrate life in its cyclic patterns. They are in touch with the natural cycles of their planet and have devised technology and society to mesh with those cycles rather than act counter current to them. The primary religion of the Calnennore is the Nen -- which is analogous to the Force in the rest of the galaxy. There are various sects of those who teach or pursue a better understanding of the Nen, but the most regarded sect is the Nenya who can actively harness the power of the Nen in order to protect the people of Gaeren III. While the Nenya are revered as protectors and wield some control of the planet through the Roche Council, they are kept in check within and outside of their ranks. Some members have been exiled to other planets after trying to disrupt the natural way of life. War is not an unknown concept to the Ada'Nen race of Calnennore. Living in proximity to patches of land many have had conflicts with another species calling the planet home. The Circumanka, sentient raptor like creatures, evolved to better inhabit the lands of Gaeren III and do not share territory with the Calnennore. Often the two species clash violently with one another.
Technology level: The Ring'Nen have made the farthest leaps and bounds in terms of technologies. The largest ship building operations and technological advancements occur at the poles. Calnennore were a space faring race in the past, but have since taken solace in remaining at home. Still, scientific advancements and exploration are pursued, primarily by the Universities in the North and South Poles. The Gae'Nen are the furthest groups from technological society. These tribes prefer to stay isolated throughout the open oceans and scattered islands. The headquarters of the Nenya are found near the equatorial coastal cities where many of the Ada'Nen tribes explore various mysteries in engineering and medicine.
General behavior: Calnennore love color. They are highly visually tuned predators, and they act like it. They are almost always hungry and never pass on offered food. They are scoffing of vegetarians/herbivores however, and may make poor jokes about vegetarians being the entre. They also have trouble finding their own limitations, being highly competitive, and stubborn. To other species, the Calnennore may seem aloof or standoffish, since Calnennore are generally xenophobic. Despite the perceived isolation, Calnennore can be warm, affectionate, humorous, and trusting towards others after extreme scrutiny. Since they are used to talking through body language or telepathically, Calnennore are seen as fidgety and quiet. Despite the lack of verbal communication, Calnennore seem to love puns.
History: Because their Binary Star System is hidden near a nebula in the Unknown Regions, the Calnennore lived in isolation for a long time before developing the means to travel through space. It is unclear when exactly they discovered space travel, but it may have been prior to many species in the Outter Rim territories. The Calnennore of Old had a superiority complex and were bent on conquering new territory with their new technologies. It was quickly discovered that other species outnumbered them vastly, so the Calnennore returned to their homeworld to devise a new strategy. While some were still bent on expansion, others were content with staying at home. The location of their star system was discovered by a Jedi explorer during the era of the Galactic Republic but was heavily bombarded during the Clone Wars. Majority of the survivors hail from the Ring'Nen clan while the Ada'nen and Gea'nen clans were driven nearly to extinction.
