#minor xenos of the galaxy

[fabriziocarminati]

(Minor) Xenos of the Galaxy Series - Tau Auxilia

[cursed-40k-thoughts]

Opinions on the Q'orl? Should they come back? Does the galaxy need another horde of bug aliens?

I think they’re fine and good. Always nice to have more aliens in the setting. Should they “come back”, as in have some sort of tabletop presence? Eh. I don’t really think they’d add much that isn’t already provided by the Vespid and Tyranids, two species that already need more exploration as it is.

If we’re talking about increasing the prevalence of minor xenos factions, then I think the Hrud and the Slaugth are the frontrunners, personally. Particularly the Slaugth. There is so much untapped potential and unique aesthetic waiting to happen.

SYNOPSIS —

Planet Jorrimm has been locked in an expansion war against Planet Feliva in their shared galaxy system; however, the two kingdoms are forced to shelve their rivalry once an unknown entity begins destroying their scouting fleets.

When their respective attempts to remove the invasive force fail, the two kingdoms reluctantly turn to one another, bring it with it a tentative proposal to combine their militaries and resources so that they might combat and eradicate their mutual enemy.

And to ensure the peaceful merging of their civilizations, the two kingdoms agree to a marital union between their only heirs, Galanon and Desgazah.

To ease the two volatile, stubborn princes into following through, a courtship period is put into place — alternating every three months, one prince will stay with the other on their homeworld, familiarizing themselves with one another, and to learn and understand the other's world and culture.

I have a bit of writing I've been working on for my custom hive fleet.

It's a creative writing piece that is effectively an inquisitor report on what they believe is a new Hive Fleet (my hive fleet).

Excerpt below the cut is one section of the piecd focusing on the coloration of the Hive Fleet as potentially relative to Aposematism as seen in earth fauna.

Aposematism - The Bright Colorations of the Hive Fleet Echeneis is a self-defensive warning signature to “predatory species.” Why this coloration might be necessary is unclear unless the prevailing theory that the Tyranids are running for a mightier predator is true.

However, even then certain aquatic species on Aquatic Worlds exhibit this colorful self-defense mechanism while also being known predators. In this way it could be that the Tyranids are signaling their predatory nature through their coloration displays. Akin to a swordfish of Imperial Water world, this coloration is part signal, part adaptive offensive bio-evolution to make prey easier to capture.

A third conjecture is a novel comparison of the coloration of Hive Fleet Echeneis through a deep sea visual filter. Due to the condition of human eyes, as they delve deeper into aquatic environments our perception of colors shift, with greens, blues, and blacks becoming the dominant colors of the spectrum replacing the more graduated color individuals are used to experiencing. As such, it could be that the coloration of Enchenis is such that they represent a void shifted coloration. Their actual colors outside the filtered perspective of human sight merely appears as the “normal” colors we are aware of.

If this third conjecture is true, it might unlock the reason for the Aposematic coloration and further showcase the power of the Hive Mind's tactical ability.

Assuming the Echeneis designation as type of remora or cleaner fish to their attached major hive fleets, we can assume that their designation as testing and or external supply, is true. Thus within the ecological chain of the tyranids Echeneis would not be an apex but some middling species on the food chain. This would mean that the coloration serves as a warning to potential predators of the species, Mankind and the other weaker Xenos races of this galaxy, due to their unstable nature as testing or “minor” Tyranid forces. This coloration, as a result of our shifted perspective, makes them appear muted and unnatural compared to other Tyranids forces, thus giving them an unintended evolutionary advantage to those unaware the coloration meanings.

This coloration also serves another purpose within the Hive Fleet, to act as a warning to other “major” Tyranid forces to be aware of and avoid the genetically manipulated state of Echeneis. If we assume the color spectrum of Tyranids are adaptable to an as needed basis, the shifted color spectrum we experience of Echeneis would not limit the Tyranids. As such, they could potentially be aware of “tampered” goods when Echeneis is acting as a testing force and when the fleet is “ripe” as a source of Biofuel.

Oh my god, ferrets.

I’ve following an online quest about a civilisation of interstellar ferrets trying to survive in 40k who love nuclear weapons and are based on Star Trek.

conversation I have with my ferret 1000x a day

[interplanaranathema]

So it has been a while since I heard anything about Lachesis, but I recently tried to finish the wonderful Owlcat games Rouge Trader rpg... which has tickled that part of my brain and sent me down the 40k rabbit hole one again. Which had me revisiting my Fan Primarch Octavius and work on him a little bit. He is now called Octavius One, Octavius after the only scientist to show him even a shred of human compassion when he was a guinea pig on Cerebra and One as a reminder that he was once only know as specimen one and how far he had come. Octavius is now missing his right arm having lost it to warp corruption, that is now where his bio mechanical tendrils extend from. The biggest change is Octavius is no longer trying to create human super soldiers... okay he is not only creating super soldiers. Rather Octavius is conducting experiments to find a cure for warp corruption. For his time spent in the immaterial he now sees the warp as a living entity, a living entity that is terribly sick, and you can not beat a illness into submission you can only cure it. The Black Mercy is no long a barley cobbled together space hunk jumping wildly threw the warp. It now a sleek black ship with stolen drukhari stealth technology. It appears without warning over doomed worlds the last grime hope for it's inhabitance. The Noble Order then descends saving survivors, capturing test subjects and gathering specimens. Before vanishing into the darkness as if it was never there. I also have the idea of completely remaking Octavius into this shadowy rouge trader controlling his dynasty with proxies and subterfuge, with strong ties to criminal organizations. He also has this French baroque music theme, think non chaos noise marines by way of classical opera. Sorry for the info dump, is there anything new with your boy?

Ooooh! interesting. Love the thought of Octavius being this biomechanical rogue trader lord thats pretty raw! I feel like he'd also be interested in the halo devices since that's kinda the same niche. They are parasitic xenos biomechanical devices. It might help him solve warp corruption.

But i love the black mercy being this heroic last hope for these worlds. And him being this rogue trader would help immensely for funding this. As for Lachesis, he plays a role in the lost sect held by The Arboreum, a faction of Sisters of Silence that were lost after the T'au space age. So past the Damocles Gulf in the reaches of the T'au space, Lachesis is appearing as a giant xenos fauna (a spiny felinid). But I updated his story!! The reason as to why him and my primarch of the II, Aries Meridian the Navigator, were lost was because they were the first to interact with the Cabal since they were 2 of the expeditionary forces exploring the outer reaches of the Galaxy. Other than being 2 essential aspect of the Imperial war effort, Back-up and Navigators, the emperor had them designed with the idea that when the Crusade was done, that Xenos rehabilitation would be needed. Thus they were created with the intent of being raised by Xenos. Lachesis was with those who healed more while Aries was grown on a massive planetoid ship of 2 different minor xenos. Due to the lax nature of their connections to their father, they were allowed to dabble in their warp natures (that are Primarchs have). But they were expunged by the Emperor but they were able to escape into the warp and evolved into what they are today. Back to the reason Lachesis is in Arboreum space, they were able to come back in secret right before the Heresy. Lachesis helped Sanguinius and Anathema create a individual(s) to prevent the red thirst via Xenos blood (C'tan energy).

This is non- dnd campaign version of Fynn who's story in the campaign is VASTLY different. Aka this is a more WH40k canon compliant story which has no crossover elements to it

But essentially, Anathema cryogenically stored the successful one on a planet out past the Damocles gulf during the heresy since she (now he) should be kept safe. And then forgotten till the T'au cracked them open and an Aun raised this Fynn.

Lachesis heard of Fynn's actions when exploring the Galaxy and Immediately went to the Region to go find him.

This is some art i made of Lachesis but i need to go back and touch it up. + have current Aries Meridian too since he's in that region as some Rogue trader's alien navigator (he's called the warp eye)

[pluckingstarsoffmoontrees]

So I haven't spoken about this before but there's this absolutely amazing quest I've been following closely.

The basic premise is that we play as an alien civilisation in the cruel and unforgiving galaxy of WH40K and try to do our best to fucking survive and stuff.

During CharGen there was a bunch of stuff we could pick: how our species looked/acted, how our government was structured, what general aesthetic our technology followed, what civilisation-wrecking catastrophe defined our rise to the stars...

So we ended up being technophiliac Star Trek ferrets who were saved from the Imperium of Man by weird eldritch robots and use Lego-based technology.

It only got crazier from there.

[sharkrad08222222]

would be intresting to jus t have tau in some random corner of a the galaxy, maybe someonr played one of there aux races to play a expedition to the other side of the galaxy

I do think they would be isolated and a very much your dudes faction

plus I don’t want every minor Xeno empire to be the tau, where the HELL are the QORL GW!

I firmly believe there’s more T’au out in the wider galaxy

Like, for every Fourth Sphere ship whose crew lost it and massacred their auxiliaries, there’s at least one that just came out somewhere weird and decided to set up there

[drawn-on-phone]

I have a big long Google doc I made for lore behind my custom hive fleet. I think I'm going to throw parts of it here on tumble. It's framed as a collection of reports collated to try and define this new threat.

This excerpt is related to the unique coloration of the Hive Fleet and theorized it might he related to aposematism seen in animals.

The Bright Colorations of the Hive Fleet Echeneis is a self-defensive warning signature to “predatory species.” Why this coloration might be necessary is unclear, unless the prevailing theory that the Tyranids are running for a mightier predator is true.

High King/High Queen of the Principality of Federation of Kingdoms of Ethanxiia of an alien planet Ethanxiia

Paramount Chieftain and Warchief of the Confederacy of Nations of Iuyumania on the planet of Iuyamania

High King/High Queen of Mu or Hawaiki. Imagine Mount Olympus, Asgard, or Themyscira but for Indigenous Pasifika demigod metahumans and Indigenous Pasifika alien hybrid superhumans. A series of floating, terrestrial, & underwater kingdoms that was a federation or empire. It was created because of strong mystical, esoteric, arcane energies intrinsically tied to the sea, air, & land. It was built with the help of alien technology, divine help from polytheistic pagan pantheons, and arcane human magic. It was a magical focal point and is the strongest in power. It is an utopia dedicated to the free exchange of information and ideas of diverse and inclusive communities.

Through the influence of the government, military, scholars, & monarchs the empire or federation flourished and grew into an advanced realm unlike any other on the planet. Science, technology, & magic were the dominant means of power throughout the aquatic, terrestrial, & air supercontinent. They were already developing highly advanced technological wonders even in antiquity. Since its inception technology and magic were in sync and made the empire or federation both magically, scientifically, and technologically advanced. A terrestrial federation of kingdoms similar to its rival Hyperborea.

An underwater federation of kingdoms similar to its rival the technologically advanced Atlantean empire. A floating empire of kingdoms similar to its rival Asgard. Actually the size of a supercontinent. It is one of the earliest and most highly advanced cultural, technological, scientific, and magical societies on Earth.

It is an empire or federation that is further divided into kingdoms with each its own settlements, villages, towns, cities, counties, states. It is an oasis of civilization in prehistory, modern day, & the future. Although the arial, terrestrial, & aquatic federation or empire grew and prospered.

The civilizations of the outside world remained largely ignorant of Mu or Hawaiki for many decades, centuries, & millennia. In recent years however, it has found itself pushed to the forefront of public awareness. They are now considered the most technologically advanced federation of the planet.

The underwater throne room defended by sea elves riding dolphins, palace defended by merfolk and tritons riding sea unicorn, capital defended by weresharks riding (tiger, mako, & great white) sharks, & kingdoms are defended by Atlanteans riding whales (beluga, narwhals, & orcas). Their throne room is decorated with the skeletons of a megalodon, a mosasaurus, a plesiosaurus, a basilosaurus, & a livyatan. For Hawaiki the federation of kingdoms of Pasifika alien hybrids and demigods there were several kingdoms on land hidden by magic, several kingdoms floating in the air hidden by magic and technology, as well as several kingdoms underwater hidden by technology.

Their scientists develop a means so that their people could survive underwater, in the air, & on land. The experiment was a success and the serum transformed the citizens from normal human beings into a metahuman and superhuman species who could survive anywhere in the empire. The denizens of the empire or federation were changing to evolve new biological, emotional , intellectual, spiritual, and magical functions in order to better thrive. They altered differently from baseline homo sapiens due the high concentration of magic, technology, & science flowing throughout its vast territory. It's people gaining the ability to survive anywhere on land, sea, & air. Due to this habitual alternation all Hawaiki'an citizens of every nation of the empire or federation of demigods and alien hybrids are physically superior to baseline humans. As a result of being stronger, faster, tougher, smarter, and longer lived.

Chairman and CEO of Dynamic Sciences, Research, Development, Engineering, & Technology. It is a research organization, charity/philanthropy organization, and business corporation. It is the world's largest and most diversified multinational corporation. Complemented with a national and international chain of research laboratories. That is unconnected to the government or the military. It specializes in A.I., genetics, disease control, medicine, research and technology, nanotechnology, bionics, bio-engineering, pharmaceuticals, security, paramilitary weaponry, defense, aerospace, computer hardware and software, robotics, and metahuman and superhuman studies.

It was officially created in the 16th century. It is one of the oldest companies in the world. It began as a merchant business, an artisan guild, and trading company. As the company became more successful more branches were opened. Soon other companies were bought and absorbed. This was when expansion of the company turned into a global conglomerate with numerous headquarters, branches, & businesses in different countries. This turned it into a business conglomerate and corporation. It is a high-rise building as its own corporate headquarters.

It soon became a green company under new regulations and reforms and became environmentally conscious. It is known for its accessibility for disabled staff, employees, consumers, & visitors. It has been a forerunner in many fields of science, engineering, inventions, research, development, & technology. Its main headquarters are in California, Kansas, Ohio, South Carolina, & New York in America.

The tower was designed by its founder with the intention to serve as a beacon of modern human architecture. It was completed after a few years of excavation and construction. The tower itself cost several hundred million to build, update, & maintain. It was later redesigned by the current chairman and CEO to be a beacon of futuristic alien and human architecture.

I mean the incubation time makes it scarier. Inquisitorial team investigating a mass outbreak of madness, dying one by one as they hunt for xenos parasites, chaos cultists, insidious toxin-planting heretics, etc. When the last survivor returns to the base he finds that the team’s medicae, who spent the whole novel dissecting the corpses the team recovered, had written a report on “The Widespread and Horrific Contamination of Corpse Starch from Hiveworld Morcinium by Infectious Proteins” before meeting her end in the disastrous final mission. They were doomed from the start; by the time anyone knew about the problem it was thirty years too late to stop it.

This is of course the first book in the Ordo Ferculis series, following that surviving acolyte as he is inducted to one of the minor ordos of the inquisition and gradually becomes the most feared health inspector in the galaxy.

Prions diseases are a pretty big issue in the IOM and can infect corpse starch that isn’t properly treated.

A investigation into what was thought to be Xenos corruption revealed it to instead be Kuru.

Ok but I could 500% see some Crime/Horror novel in 40k looking into an outbreak of something chaos-related or xenos-related in a hive city. And because the person investigating is obviously Imperial, they have this inherently stigmatised view of the whole thing that plays the unreliable narrator card throughout the whole book, trying to find the source of the daemons/aliens infecting the people and perpetrating their horrific schemes. The whole story is intercut with random scenes of the main character eating various meals in various places about the hive city, and they start to see daemons and shadowy monsters and shit in places, too. And they know something is horribly wrong and they need to get to the bottom of it.

And it goes on and on, with the character meeting people who have seen the daemons, too, the monsters so awful that everyone has a different view on how they look, and the whole thing culminates in the main character being ambushed by daemons in an alley, and resolving to pull a gun and go down fighting for the Emperor.

Cut to the Epilogue a few months later, and it’s some medical document from a medicae attached to a fairly low level Inquisitorial unit detailing the Hive City’s overuse of poorly screened and processed meats and starches, and the severe prion infestation causing worsening hallucinations, paranoia and general temperament instability. It was most common amongst the lower classes, so no one cared, but when a couple shipments of infected reprocessed “steaks” ended up being eaten by various nobles, it suddenly became more of an issue. One of the steaks, in fact, that the main character ate when he first arrived and was being briefed on the situation by a middle management administratum official.

And so you see, the real horror is the bureaucracy and classism. No one even cares about the cannibalism! Or something. I’ve not been off work long, so.

Chapter Four:

Ezra is having a difficult time keeping his eyes off of the doctor.

You are far more fascinating than the brief bio and blurry headshot on the placement program website had led him to believe, and as far as Ezra can reconcile, Cee had almost certainly minimized the exchanges between the two of you before their arrival on Chelroth. Dedicated and competent were the two words Cee had used most often to describe you whenever he had prodded Cee about your qualifications during their planning sessions at his apartment.

“Ezra, she has doctorates in biology and infectious disease control. She graduated from The Conservatory at sixteen and on top of all that, she’s been working on this specific rehabilitation project for more than a decade. She’s more than capable of keeping me safe from that horrible illness…that wasting disease.”

“The technical name for it is a prion disease, Birdie. It was one of the many things that caused Terra to become uninhabitable in the last thousand years before our xeno’s escape out into the greater galaxies. It’s an illness so misunderstood and quietly nefarious that it caused our star-chasers to work even more expeditiously on a way off of the only home our xeno ever knew, especially compared to the sluggish way they dealt with the impending heat death of the habitable zone on Terra.” Ezra glared at the pattern on the rug between his feet as he sat on the couch in his cramped apartment, listening to Cee’s restless pacing and biting his tongue as she tried to come up with yet another angle to support her desire to not be coddled while they were off world. He gritted his teeth before continuing, “It’s not just the wasting disease that I’m concerned with, but if you think that the good doctor knows best, then I will defer to your judgment.”

Ezra thinks back on that conversation now, his apprehension and wariness for someone he had never met weighing heavily on his conscience at the time. But now… The mood around the small table has shifted in the last few hours.

As he and Cee had traded off on recounting the tale, your eyes had shone bright with tears on multiple occasions. The two times they had fallen were terribly injurious to Ezra’s heart, for reasons he couldn’t quite fathom.

“Oh Cee, you must have been horribly afraid after your father died.” Damon had been less like a father and more like a slavedriver to Cee, and she had quickly disabused your notions, and given a short explanation about the stark difference between Damon and Ezra. “Doc, Ezra could have killed me at any time and commandeered my ship to safety, but he…didn’t. He decided to save a little girl on the Green Moon. Ezra’s been more of a father to me than Damon ever was. Damon never cared about anything other than points, and the fastest way to get them. I never have to worry about my safety when Ezra’s around.”

Then a bit later, learning about the act that had truly intertwined Cee and Ezra’s fates had prompted you to gasp so loudly it was almost a shriek, causing more than one table full of scruffy looking patrons to look in your direction.

“Kevva Above, Ezra! I can hardly believe you were able to stay stoic while Cee performed your amputation! And Cee, where in the world did you learn how to do that?!” It had then been Ezra’s turn to elaborate. 

“Cee was as thorough and expedient as any surgeon in the galaxy, doctor. I’d have been in dire straits without her. She was able to cut quickly enough that the whole horrible ordeal is but a distant memory, and besides all that, she had done similar jobs before, not on humans of course but instead while clearing out the cavernous remains of the Jhata Balu.”

You now knew their history as thoroughly as they did.

How Damon had tricked Cee into taking one last job to raise enough money to get out of prospecting. How the two of them crash-landed on Bahkroma’s Green Moon to chase a legend. How Damon had failed Cee one last time, and the hand Ezra had played in it, even in an act of mercy. How Cee had been absolutely desperate to find a way off of that cursed place. How Ezra had come to be injured by Cee’s hand, and the reluctant partnership that they’d been forced into for survival. How a failed negotiation with a camp of zealots had swiftly crushed that partnership, and how Cee had run, and run, and run, while Ezra licked his wounds and limped to the safety of his tent to slowly die, alone and forgotten.

How Cee had stumbled across him just mere hours away from being taken by the poison that she had inadvertently introduced into his system, and then how she had brutally saved his life by removing his arm. How Cee had turned back to save him from ruthless mercs at the last possible second, after Ezra had sacrificed himself to give her a chance to catch the last slingback away from that horrible place. How they had struggled and scraped to make a new life for themselves on The Ephrate, far away from that nightmarish landscape.

Now you have heard the whole ugly truth of his meeting with Cee.

*****

Cee chats with you about the upcoming trip, the two of you falling into an easy camaraderie, and  Ezra allows his gaze to wander over the rest of the dining room of The Blind Shark. A watering hole-cum-staging location for similar groups of fishers and dockworkers, it was clear that you had been here many times before and had a certain level of familiarity with the staff based on the friendly smiles you exchanged with them as they came to check on the quiet corner the three of you were occupying. He relaxes back into his seat, knowing that at least for the moment his charge is safe.

From the few hours of conversation that the three of you had exchanged, you frankly didn’t seem like the type to take anyone’s shit, well meaning or not, and he is drawn to the way your eyes sparkle when you speak about the critters that you had apparently dedicated quite a lot of your life to. His eyes are periodically fixed on your hands as you speak; they are calloused and smaller than his own, and he briefly wonders what it would be like to hold a hand like that in his remaining one. His thoughts are interrupted by a low noise of discomfort from Cee when a man plops down, hard, in the seat between him and Cee. The man’s back is turned towards Ezra and his greasy smile is directed at you and Cee, and the audacity makes Ezra’s insides shrivel with unbridled rage. 

“What’re a couple’a girls like you doing in a shitty place like this?” The man inquires with a slurring, hoarse voice that he probably thinks is seductive rather than repulsive. Cee flushes and freezes in her seat, and Ezra’s vision clouds with streaks of crimson. He’s not a man prone to unnecessary violence anymore, but his hand curls into a fist, ready to suckerpunch this interloper into the next week. He suddenly notices the warmth of your hand clutching tightly around his own, and through the haze of his rage he at least has the wherewithal to recognize it’s not his moment to shine.

“Pardon me, you pathetic excuse for a slug, but what in Kevva’s name gave you the idea that you could even breathe in the proximity of my charge? Leave now, cretin, before I forcibly remove you.”

There’s a venomous acidity in the condescending tone of your voice, and your eyes are fiery, sending the interloper a look that would cut anyone’s ego to complete shreds. The interloper blinks awkwardly a few times, maybe trying to decide if you're serious. You make it abundantly clear that you are, in fact, deadly serious by employing a half-dozen rude hand gestures to let the man know he needed to leave, like, yesterday. The pathetic sod stammers out a half-apology and hurriedly gets up to join another group of men who all look like life has kicked them right in the gems, and the furtive look the interloper sends back towards your group doesn’t escape Ezra.

“Thank Kevva, doc, you made that look so easy.” Cee’s eyes are round with awe as she calms down a bit and turns to face you again. “Can you teach me how to be that intimidating? I hate when people think that just because I’m young, they can make me uncomfortable for no reason.”

Your soft, melodious laugh cuts through the surrounding din, and your muttered reply to Cee of “just gotta be hard on those thick-skull types” pulls a smile out of Ezra that he hadn’t been expecting, one that dimples his cheek and draws your eyes back to him. You return the smile, almost matching the playfulness in his eyes, but there’s an apprehension in your voice when you speak loud enough for him to catch your next full sentence. 

“To be frank, Chelroth is almost entirely male-xeno dominated because of the types of work available here. Not a lot of female xenos come here for that reason, and the ones who do…” you trail off at this point, and Ezra thinks he’s never been so quiet and focused on someone else speaking in his entire life. “Well there are those who really work for the money, and then there are the ones you see toiling out on the docks, fishing boats, farms, and market shops.”

Cee’s bright peal of laughter once again draws the eyes of several tables worth of tired looking laborers.

“Ahh, so what you’re saying is that you and I are an anomaly, huh?” Cee’s chuckles are completely infectious to you, and you both break off into giggles that devolve into clutching each other, gasping for breath as you both struggle to overcome the inherent awkwardness of the topic.

“What I’m trying to say is that, as far as companions outside of our little group goes, the grand majority are going to ask for some sort of compensation for their time or services with you. So you’d best get a move on if you have any extra business to attend to, because for the next six weeks, we will be adrift at sea and modern…conveniences will be hard to come by.” The doctor gives Ezra a pointed look.

Ezra’s face is warm as well with the knowlege that almost every female xeno within a hundred clicks is either a sex worker, a laborer or…you. He skims his finger along the rim off his glass, wishing that the bar staff would come around again so he could order another drink. He almost never indulges in any kind of mind altering substances, especially after learning Cee’s feelings on such coping mechanisms, but the way that you are laughing and gasping for breath has him thinking that perhaps something to dull his racing thoughts isn’t such a terrible idea. 

“I’m sure I will be able to cope, doctor,” Ezra shoots back slyly, even through the heat of mild embarrassment. 

You give him a challenging look, raising your eyebrow and your glass in a facsimile of a toast.

“To new and abiding friends,” you murmur, eyes locked on Ezra.

He hears his voice harmonize with Cee’s as they both say, “To new and abiding friends.”
