Ooloonoo

Originally from an abundant ocean world, the Ooloonoo are a species of intelligent spacefaring crustaceans. Following the destruction of their homeworld by another species known as the Xeltek, the Ooloonoo have become a migratory spaceborne race living entirely in water-filled mobile habitat-ships.

Evolved from predatory crustaceans on their homeworld, the Ooloonoo retain much of their bellicose nature, possessing a culture that cherishes strength and martial prowess. However, Ooloonoo are a deeply pragmatic people as well and rarely engage in lethal combat unless it is absolutely necessary, preferring ceremonial duels and displays of strength.

Some time in the year 2254, outlying corporate holdings of the Greater Terran Union made contact with multiple migrant fleets of Oooloonoo. Communications were immediately established by the Ooloonoo, who had been monitoring Terran communications for some time.

After a brief and tense period of negotiations, the GTU welcomed the Ooloonoo into their territory under extreme scrutiny in exchange for the Oooloonoo's compiled knowledge of the region (including languages, starcharts, and new technologies).
