Oso has been designated by the UEE as a developing system off-limits
to interaction and trade. A small military garrison maintains this
edict, although they are generally willing to look the other way for
the right price. As such, Oso is regularly visited by traders of all
stripes looking to ship between here and the Xi’An Empire.
Osoians are the most developed of all the primitive species discovered
by the UEE. A furry, multi-limbed race that communicates through
flashes of color generated by chameleon cels that are patterned across
their forehead-equivalents. Human scientists find the natives to be
endlessly fascinating, and Earth’s universities are full of graduate
students suggesting new ways to study and attempt to communicate with
the Osoians. The Xi’An, however, have a more tragic take on the
species: they find them to be delicious.
Next, at $5.0 million: “home and namesake of a traveling species.”
Excerpt from a Xi’An cookery book: Osoians taste like chicken.
;D
I feel sorry for poor guys, if I ever see somthing like this there I will pritect osoians.
I guess I’ll make it a point to order turtle soup if a Xi’an starts eating Osoian in front of me…
Ah, I see whoever thought of these creatures is an Arthur C. Clarke fan! Those Osoians sound an aweful lot like the spider creatures from Rama.
