Nivia

## Nivia natare (Niv)

Another animal that has developed a form of swimming, except Nivia natare uses small fins. This species is just able to survive in these microbe-depleted waters by feeding in gaps where other proto-worms cannot reach with its proboscis. However, this probably won’t sustain a species for long.

Features: This proto-worm has a long extension for its mouth, called a proboscis. The small fins it has flex with response to the water pressure. While it can swim above the sea-bed, it would become a better swimmer if it had muscles.

Predecessor: Veroina ericius

Classification: Veroinidae, Kardiaskulusidea, Kardiarchia

Latest Mutations: Tropical Tolerance = 4, Armoured Head = 5, Genders = 3

Info: Despite being the 'tank of the abyss' this species is not all that successful. It can only survive in the warmth of the water surrounding hydrothermal vents, and drifting away into the cold abyss would spell its doom. Even though its body is tailored to surviving warm water, it cannot inhabit tropical seas because most of the body is not protected from UV radiation and there is not enough microbial food to sustain Hoplites. It has strong armour on its head which cancels out its few weak points. Therefore, it is hardly ever predated upon, but it is even slower than before and more nutrional than expensive - another reason why it must remain near very productive hydrothermal vents. It is named after armoured soldiers of Ancient Greece.

Description: It has a tubular, pigmentless cylindrical body covered in long, toxic spines. The head is armoured with tough, heavy bone and covered in scutes like an armadillo's armour. It even has bony eyelids that can be shut over the two large pinhole eyes on the top, and the one facing forwards. On each side of the body was four gills, as well as a gill frill. A protective layer of slimy, heat-proof scales covers the body, and gives off a strong smell. A simple gut, behind the pharynx, led through the body, which was circulated by a semi-open circulatory system; capillaries covered the muscles, which also had special vacuoles, but the rest of the organs were bathed in a chamber. The circulatory system was pumped by a tubular heart. A tiny brain and two nerve cords controlled the body. The body has vertebrae made of cartilage.

Rantisma

## Rantisma immortalus

This animal thrives at the surface of both the ocean and the shallow seas, living well of the phytoplankton. It has also reduced predation with the evolution of an ink sac.

Features: Dark blue melanin is produced by melanocytes in the skin layer, which give this animal it's dark blue appearance and protect it well from UV light. Interestingly, subspecies have emerged lower down in the ocean, that are lighter shades of blue, as they require less melanin to protect themselves from the sun. As a defensive measure, an ink sac developed off of the gut, which can propel a cloud of ink out of the anus. A development of the cerebral ganglia, also allow for intuitive memory, such as the recognition of species.

Polar Upper Ocean

* Seawater in a polar zone or polar current that does not have a seabed within a depth of 200m is known as Polar Upper Ocean, and it's reach extends down to 500m below the surface. The temperature is very cold all-year, oxygen-rich and very nutrient-rich throughout. It has low pressure and low salinity. It appears fairly murky and green. There are no seasonal changes. The first 200m from the surface is the Sunlit Zone or epipelagic zone, and it has weak sunlight, low UV radiation and low detritus. Below this, from 200 - 500m deep, sunlight is faint and weak at best, so it becomes dark. There is no UV radiation. This is the Twilight Zone, where the deep ocean truly begins, and at its brightest has a similar amount of sunlight to dawn and dusk. Sunlight becomes progressively scarce until it becomes virtually pitch black at 500m. The Polar Upper Ocean ends 500m down.

### **Ecosystem/s:**

* Northern Hemisphere: On the seafloor, Ostracoderma kinifolis and Ostracoderma densissima filter on the seabed as Lepirhampos geminus scoots around, filtering meat. In the water column, Regemsitula malonii and Masticephalus multiminimacrura filter. Dolophonaskulus attenboroughei hunts Lepirhamphos.

Timespan: R.74 - Present

Habitat: Estuaries

Distribution: Oliver River Estuary

Niche: Pelagic Filter-Feeder

Nutritional Value: 50

Size: 9cm

Predecessor: Icthyotelus sinspica

Classification: Icthyotelusidae, Tyrannidea, Caudaria

Latest Mutations: Tail Fins = 6, Eyesight = 2, Filter-Feeding Tool = 1

Info: This is an extremely rare species, inhabiting only one estuary delta, that of the Oliver River. They can only tolerate brackish water, and so their spread from evolution is severely limited. Furthermore, the estuary is still dominated by their predecessor, Icthyotelus sinspica. The only advantage for this species is their superior movement generated by their system of fins, which they need to find more food - they have a tiny mouth and so cannot filter as much in one go. This is a significant issue, especially considering they have a higher nutritional need than their competitors.

Description: It has a rather tubular, blue body, that tapers towards a small tail at the end. A continuous ribbon of fins runs along the top,and underside of the body, supported by cartilage struts, reaching a triangular caudal fin, in addition to the pectoral fins. On the length of the body is a line of electroreceptors, as well as a bundle of photoreceptors on the back - these, however, are useless as they are not connected to the nervous system and simply waste energy without providing any advantage. Also on the side of the body are three gills on each side. The mouth is much smaller than in other species. It has an open circulatory system and a very small brain controlling its nervous system and a stomach of carnivorous digestive bacteria.

Size: 7cm (length)

Predecessor: Icthyotelus sinspica

Classification: Aspondylusinae (sf), Brevicauda (so), Caudomorphii (c)

Perception: Can sense electrical signals within ten metres, and can see and detect the direction of light.

Latest Mutations: Eel-like fins = 2, Cartilage Skeleton = 2, Feeding tendrils = 3

Info: This species had regressed during evolution because it lost its cartilage vertebrae almost entirely; all that remained is a single rod, a notochord. It also had smaller pectoral fins than its predecessors. It was not a very successful species, living only in one estuary in the world, where it is still less common than Icthyotelus sinspica, in the cold north of Olympia.

Anatomy: It has a tapering body, lined with electroreceptors and three gills on each side. It has two small pectoral ray-fins and a pair of forward-facing cup eyes on the head. An oily liver helps to maintain buoyancy. An open circulatory system bathes the organs in hemacoel, and the body is controlled by ganglia. Down the back is a notochord. In the gut, is a primitive stomach with the ability to digest multicellular matter.

Behaviour: This species is capable of processing information gathered from sense receptors and using that to form a picture of its surroundings. It can then respond to stimuli. It also has basic reasoning.

Superstes

Superstes provectus (Grohkius Speedius) NG12
With relatively advanced eyes on the top of its head, this species does a good job of avoiding predators. It is therefore quite a common species, happily minding its own business on the sea-floor. Its competitors have mainly been weeded-out, so it enjoys its occupation of this niche.

Features: In most species of the area, the muscles are arranged quite haphazardly, although roughly longitudinally. However, in this species they have been reorganised for the most efficiency. What’s more, the eyes of this species have come even more like a pinhole camera, as the opening is narrowed. Instead of just blurs, it is able to make out shapes, though still with poor resolution and dim imaging, and is able to distinguish species combined with its memory.

## Superstes vasorum

A common animal, it is has perfected the art of predator detection and avoiding. It's fine vision can quite easily see the approach of a predator and its muscles can give it a good burst of speed along the floor. Between this, it calmly scours the sand for plankton.

Features: The muscles of this animal have increased their efficiency by the appearance of small capillaries webbing over the surface of the muscle. This shows a halfway point between open and closed circulatory systems. Another development is the appearance of a transparent layer of crystalline over the eye, which not only protects but also allows for brighter vision. Not only does it have two of the eyes facing upwards, but it also has one facing forwards.

Latest Mutations: Lose Vertebrae, Longer Tentacles, Touch Receptors on Tentacles

Info: This predator slowly moves through the deep, capturing unsuspecting little animals with its tentacles. It has longer tentacles than before, and these a especially sensitive to touch, to know when something runs into them. Also, with the external support of a calcium carbonate shell, it has lost its vertebrae.
Intelligence / Behaviour: Processes information and responds based on fixed behaviours. It knows to eat and avoid being harmed.

External Features: It has a cylindrical body covered by a straight calcite shell excreted by the mantle. Underneath, is a thin skin layer protected by rhomboidal, ganoid scales. A mouth containing small, keratin teeth, four long tentacles - covered in touch receptors - with mechanoreceptors villi and nostrils sit on the head. Two large pinhole eyes face upwards whilst a large eye faces forwards. A hyponome is found on the rear.

Internal Features: Each cell has and osmolytes. Four gill slits sit each side of head as well as gill frills. Thalakelphix toxin is produced and secreted from tentacles. Muscles lining each side are attached to the body wall. The gastrointestinal tract from the mouth starts with a pharynx, then has a stomach with digestive juices followed by intestines leading to the anus. A brain encased in the head connects to two nerve cords which branch into a network of nerves. It hosts both male and female gonads. The hemacoel cavity, open circulatory system has violet blood containing hemerythrin and anti-freeze proteins but there are blood vessels pumping to muscles only a dorsal vessel pumps blood to the head. The shell contains a phragmocone. Protonephridia, connected to hemacoel, expels waste through pores.

State of the World: The global temperature is at about 18c, and there is a high level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Very small moss-like plants exist on land, specifically only in rainy wetlands but most of it is still bare and rocky. Due to the minimal plant life, the atmosphere is oxygen-moderate. There are two supercontinents, Olympia in the north and Tartarus in the south, with the sea transgressing over a lot of land. The continents are surrounded by the superocean Uteenessa, and in-between lies a comparatively small ocean called the Gaia Ocean. The sea levels are high, about 150m above standard, which makes the continental slope begin about 350m below the surface. The ocean is acidic, and the lysocline sits at 2000m. The planet is very tectonically active.

Habitat: Continental Slope (Mid Ocean)

Distribution: Under Temperate and Tropical Ocean

Niche: Apex Predator

Size: 7cm

Predecessor: Achmachelus occisorum

Classification: Makryostusae, Spinacheliforme, Caudara

Info: The first jawed animal had a very specific range of low light mid ocean but above the thermocline away from the cold. This is because it had virtually no fat on its body and so no insulation. However, in its range, it was the deadliest hunter before new species evolved. It visited shallower water at night, when there was less UV radiation.

Description: It had a tapering body, lined with electroreceptor and three gills on each side, with venomous spikes. The skin is tight to the skeleton, with little fat, giving this species a skeletal appearance. It's circular mouth is full of small teeth which are placed in a cartilage jaw. It had a pair of oval fins for agile movement. An open circulatory system bathed the organs in hemacoel, and the body was controlled by ganglia. Down the back are cartilage vertebrae. In the gut, was a primitive stomach with the ability to digest multicellular matter.

Megalognathus

## Megalognathus dankoma

Timespan: Gnathian to Fressian Stages of the Atroxian (R.45 - R.68)

Habitat: Deep Ocean, Mid Ocean, Shallow Sea

Distribution: Northern Polar Ocean & Sea

Niche: Minor Predator

Size: 2.3cm

Predecessor: Glistroskulus louixi

Classification: Megalognathusidae, Squickidea, Tubulosa

Info: Surprisingly, this was the smartest animal of its day! With big, heavy jaws, this odd species would have found movement quite difficult. Instead, it relied on prey accidentally stumbling across it in the dark, and it's many sharp teeth would have made short work of it. As such, it was never particularly common and only lived in the northernmost latitudes of Ezta, in freezing polar water. They kept to darkness and migrated away from shallow sea during spring, but moved back under the total darkness of winter. They also had the behaviour of fighting with their partner after mating and leaving the loser’s corpse as food for the young.

Description: The yellow, tubular body - that had a fleshy membrane running over and under the body - leads to a much wider head containing a comparatively large cartilage jaw. Inside these jaws, are many razor-sharp slicing teeth but the jaw muscles were weak. Chemoreceptors sat by the mouth with three gill slits at the back of the head. On top was a singular pinhole eye covered by a lens. At the front of its nervous system, was a slightly developed brain. Its mouth had a gut leading to a primitive stomach with digestive carnivorous enzymes. An open circulatory system bathed organs and muscles in hemacoel; this contained anti-freeze proteins to stop bodily fluids from freezing. The length of the body was supported by a notochord.

Peregapodus

## Peregapodus zaxzirkrnk

Status: NT

Timespan: R.87 - Present

Habitat: Shallow Sea, Ocean Surface

Distribution: Southern Hemisphere Temperate Seas & Ocean

Niche: Predator

Nutritional Value: 226.3

Size: 31cm (length)

Predecessor: Thanostoma stalloni

Classification: Peregapodusae, Makouridea, Caudaria

Latest Mutations: Limbs, Tapetum, Intelligence

Info: Peregapodus, common name Zaxzirkrnkrokinkaro, has mostly replaced Thanostoma stalloni. The strangest thing about this species is that, although it seems to be halfway to attaining limbs of some kind, they are placed asymmetrically, causing an issue of balance, as well as drag. They also have no bone structure and weak muscle so are of practically no use. However, in other areas it has an advantage - it can see better at low-light levels, including night, with a tapetum behind the retina. Furthermore, it is also relatively intelligent; they have learnt not to eat members of their own species, and also hang around the capsules after they have been laid, although there seems to be no maternal connection. This species is also constantly vigilant, watching out for danger and opportunity.

Description: With a long, blue tapering body ending in a spiked whip-like tail, this Thanostoma has the typical shape of a Caudarid. It has a cartilage jaw and two venomous canines surrounded by rather primitive teeth. Each side of its head has a swivelling pinhole eye. Behind the retina is a layer of cells containing reflective crystals called a choroidal tapetum cellulosum. It also has three gill slits, and a line of electroreceptors running down its body. On the right side, closer to the head, is a stub of mainly weak muscle and no bone structure; this also occurs on the left but much closer to the tail. Internally, a gut leads to a stomach containing carnivorous digestive bacteria and cartilage vertebrae runs down the spine. Connected to the gut by a duct is a swim bladder. It has more neurons in its tiny brain than its cousins.

Behaviours:
1. Be vigilant.
2. Do not eat own species.
3. Remain near to capsules after they are laid.

DS-3 Geier

DS-3 in flight. Origin of photo is unknown.

The DS-3 Geier was a single-seat biplane pursuit aircraft used by the Kingdom of Bavaria during the pre-war era. It was designed to deter against rampant sky pirate attacks against unarmed airships and helped form/organise the modern-day Bavarian Air Force. Entering service in 1917, the DS-3 was notable for being the first diesel-powered pursuit aircraft in widespread service. Being much smaller than contemporary sky pirate bandit aircraft, the type was found to be extremely hard to hit. The Bavarian Air Force experienced a period of stagnation during the 1920s and 30s. With no new aircraft, the DS-3, which was already long obsolete by the early 1930s, remained in front line service until 1935.

## Design and Development

The DS-3 was an equal span, single bay biplane with a positive stagger. Compared to other nation's anti-pirate pursuit aircraft at the time, the DS-3 was much smaller. This gave the DS-3 Geier incredible acceleration and agility. Armament was standard at the time with two 7.92mm machine guns firing through the propeller. Development began in late 1916 with the first prototype flying in January 9th 1916. The first production models were entering service during the early months of 1917.

Later development during the 1920s culminated in the DS-3/L where the twin-bladed propeller was changed into a three-bladed constant speed propeller. The type was also upgunned with two 20mm cannons.

## Operational History

Being introduced in 1917, the DS-3 had an edge over almost every single sky pirate aircraft in existence at the time. The type earned a reputation for being 'untouchable' during the early 1920s deterring sky pirates from entering Bavarian skies for a short period of time.

With rapid advances like stressed-metal monoplanes and increased power during the late 1920s and early 30s, the DS-3's reputation for being an 'untouchable' fighter was tarnished. All-metal monoplane bandit aircraft were being used by Sky Pirates all across the Arbonean continent. By the mid 1930s, the DS-3 was considered a flying death trap.

Nutritional Worth: (65/10 X 11.5 =) 74.8NP

Predecessor: Lampsichelus paladarus

Classification: Skelechelusinae (sf), Brevicauda (so), Caudomorphii (c), Bilateria (p)

Perception: Can detect the presence of light above, can use electroreception up to ten metres away, can smell odours up to ten metres away.

Latest Mutations: Serrated teeth in upper jaw = 2, Closed circulatory system = 5,  Improved Gut = 4, Kidneys = 3

Info: The mouth of Edentulae is completely toothless, making it more suited to filtering than its predecessors. It has a closed circulatory system, with vessels carrying red blood throughout the body that increases the animals, oxygen distribution among other things, giving it better stamina. Furthermore, it's intestine is not shrunken and small like its predecessors but about the same size as the gut of species before that development. Edentulae is a pelagic filter-feeder, found quite commonly across much of the shallow oceanic areas.

Anatomy: All over the black body tapering to a short, spiked tail are light blue bioluminescent spots, as well as a line of electroreceptors and three gills on each side. The two spikes are venomous. At the front, above the cartilage-jawed, toothless mouth are olfactory receptors and facing forwards are a pair of cup eyes. A cartilage barbel protrudes out and down from the lower jaw, and has a light blue bioluminescent bulb and a hinging muscle at its base. A pair of oval fins, supported by rays of cartilage are attached vertically just behind the gills and there is a fatty hump on the back. Inside, a closed circulatory system pumps red blood around the body. All the muscles contin a vacuoles. A gut runs from the mouth and features a stomach of carnivorous digestive bacteria in the middle. There is also a liver, which is filled with oils. The body has cartilage vertebrae running down the back and is controlled by two nerve cords and a rung of nerves. The tiny brain in the head controls this.

Behaviour: This species is capable of processing information gathered from sense receptors and using that to form a picture of its surroundings. It can then respond to stimuli. It also has basic reasoning.
