Ackdarians are highly industrious, semi-aquatic marine mammals. They have large webbed hands and feet, making them excellent swimmers. However their hands are also quite dexterous and they are equally happy living out of water.
Ackdarians are intelligent, peaceful and friendly. They have a rich culture that focuses on the hybrid nature of their living environment, encompassing both water and land.
They excel in building highly maintainable starships. Their technology includes the advanced TurboThruster engine. This engine component is extremely fuel-efficient, allowing Ackdarian star ships to use less fuel and travel further.
Ackdarians are famous for cultivating Nepthys seaweed, from which they make Nepthys wine. Ackdarians grow enormous forests of the seaweed deep beneath the oceans. They regularly harvest it and then slowly ferment it into a superbly smooth wine.
They are also masters of underwater construction, building vast and elaborate underwater cities. These cities have many levels, some of which reach far down into the vast depths of the oceans they inhabit. At the deepest levels Ackdarians seek out precious resources like the rare Ucantium pearl.
Ackdarians also inhabit the small islands and shallow coastal areas of Ocean planets.
Mortalens are a fierce half mammal, half reptile race. They have extremely fast reflexes, an ability that can surprise those unfamiliar with them.
They are easily provoked by the slightest insult, and will pursue an enemy relentlessly until they get vengeance.
Mortalens are excellent warriors – a pursuit they spend much time perfecting. Their warrior code is highly developed. Mortalens consider defeating an enemy in battle as the highest possible achievement. They are widely recognized as almost certainly the best fighters in the galaxy.
They have developed a powerful vectoring engine, the Swift Vector. This advanced engine component gives Mortalen star ships unrivalled agility and maneuvering.
Mortalens enjoy a fairly simple life, following many ancient traditions. These traditions mainly focus on honor and risk-taking.
One particular tradition requires any male seeking tribal leadership to hunt and kill one of the fearsome Mortaks. Mortaks are terrifying large monsters that inhabit the vast sandy desert wastelands of the Mortalen homeworlds. The name Mortalen means “Slayer of the Mortak”.
Mortalens are normally found living in simple block dwellings in the scrub-covered canyon floors of Rocky Desert planets. They can also be found on Sandy Desert or Desert Savanna planets.
