Build

The Aquila Krytos are built to hunt the oceans, with claws, fangs and muscular build they’re capable of swimming and running at speeds, whilst inflicting damage with their natural weapons on synthetic materials such as durasteel. They can withstand substantial wear and tear and have a remarkable set of genetic advantages.

Skin

One of the Aquila Krytos’s most remarkable features, their skin is coated with armoured scales, acting like a personal suit of armour their scales cause them to be very resistant to blades and melee weapons. Their scales however are a double edged sword, when exposed to high temperatures the scales act as an insulator, blaster wounds and burns are expressed far more severely on Aquila Krytos skin than they are on normal humanoid skin.

Eyes

With eyesight evolved to hunt, the Aquila Krytos have exceptional vision under water, however they take a long time to adjust to surface life, without the effect of the water on their vision, many Aquila Krytos experience nausea and a lack of depth perception on land.

Ears

Aquila Krytos have relatively normal hearing, their ears are located on the side of their head, with sound entering a slit located on the underside of pointed outcrops on the side of their head.

Genetic Mutations

The Aquila Krytos have constantly shifting genetic code, which is both their greatest weakness and their strongest asset. They can adapt to their environmental rapidly, enabling them to live both on land and underwater, salt or freshwater their gills and body can adapt quickly to changes of a chemical nature however, they are susceptible to forced mutations through the force or technological based tampering, and have been known to go ‘feral’ due to a mutation in the brain that cuts of partial logical thought. Their immune system produces a far greater number of white blood cells than in regular sentient species, providing a form of immune system that surrounds invading bodies with these cells, before causing a cell suicide trigger, that kills the cells and the invading body. The Aquila Krytos also share similar regenerative properties as Trandoshans, though there is no link between the species that has been proven to exist.

Overall

A genetically unique and diverse race with incredible abilities, the Aquila Krytos are easily identified and stand out. With claws, teeth and scales they resemble reptiles but exhibit some mammalian characteristics. With a large build and hunting nature, they are one of the more robust races in the galaxy.

Males

Males are larger and more abundant than females, with the ability to manipulate the force in more aggressive ways than the females, the males of the tribe take on traditional roles of hunting and gathering along with combat should the need arise.

Females

Females of the Aquila Krytos have a smaller build and are naturally more in tune with the less aggressive sides of the force, in particular they are capable of blending primitive force healing with herbal recipes made from extracts of plants that grow among the coral reefs.

Reproduction

Aquila Krytos reproduce sexually and carry their young internally as mammals do, they have a 7 month gestation period, at the end of which the female gives birth to a live young, already capable of digesting the same food as a full grown adult. In terms of reproduction, the Aquila Krytos’s ability to adapt on a genetic level to their environment has lead to them having the ability after several mating sessions with a particular species, to adapt their gametes to reproduce successfully with the available species to produce fertile hybrid offspring.

Society

Aquila Krytos live in tribes of around 300 individuals, with a monarchy system consisting of an alpha pair. Aquila Krytos are mated for life and despite their long lives they will rarely have more than two cubs. They have their own language, though primitive they have developed a form of engraved alphabet and have had some introductions to Galactic Basic. Their society is based on the simple idea of harmony, keeping balance in the oceans and with the force itself. When the environment shifts, or climate changes, the Aquila Krytos are capable of adapting to the change rather than stick to their old ways.

Though not naturally aggressive, when called upon both male and female Aquila Krytos will take up arms of tooth and claw, alongside blades and spears crafted from sharpened coral outcrops. They fight as packs, using their speed and strength in their underwater enviroment to overpower opponents. Whilst on land Aquila Krytos have often resorted to the force as their primary means of combat, instead of fighting in melee against opponents better suited for the environment.

Their homeworld of Tibrin had a native species long before the arrival of the Aquila Krytos, though their good nurtured ways have seen the Ishi Tib and Aquila Krytos live in harmony thus far the numbers of Aquila Krytos tribes continue to grow, with larger mega tribes being rumored to exist.


Housing

The Aquila Krytos are known to live manly among the vast coral reefs on Tibrin, though some tribes have stretched out to a more nomadic lifestyle along the seabed of the vast plains of open water between reefs. Their dwellings see them se natural features of the reefs, along with animals such as stinging anemones and razor shells to form barriers between them and the ocean predators of the ocean planet.
