An Young Ap Named Shud, They Have Just Finished The Last Stage Of Their Pupation After 4 Telluric Years,

an young ap named shud, they have just finished the last stage of their pupation after 4 telluric years, they are very curious about the world around them, studying the common sitting snail in front of them, they have yet to interact with another ap of their morph [frequently just called ap], though its only a matter of time

a drekol named dopel, theyre a home-planet drekol, and makes a living turning "shard grass" [the plant in the picture] into weavable string with their partners, their job tends to be pest control which they dont take very seriously due to the size of their field

a [simplistic] map of the planet that ma-ch and pedal live on, it orbits a g-type star similar to earth though it orbits at 0.99 au], it has a population of 7% ◗ta, 78% drekol, and 15% ap, it has one of the highest populations of offplanet ap, it was colonized by a team of primarily ap colonizers meaning a large portion of its ocean is colonized as well, though due to the inability of ap to form their own independent population on a planet other than their home planet the colonization was abandoned by the ap colonizers and taken over by a team of primarily drekol colonizers who filled the continents with buildings and farms for its inhabitants, unfortunately a vast majority of the planets native life was lost during the colonization, leaving small hardy generalists and small resilient flora which are still in the process of diversification

i mentioned that ◖kru lives on a middle ring planet but i never really specified what that meant

the ◗ta empire can be divided into 4 parts

1: the central circle, its essentially the culture of the homeworld expanded outwards being the oldest colonized planets in the empire, being almost entirely designed for ◗tas and every planet is boron based meaning each non◗ta sophont within needs to be heavily suited up

2: the inner ring, very similar to the central circle, though more heavily policed and better for other sophonts containing a small amount of carbon compatible planets for them to live on as well as more inclusive architecture

3: the middle ring, a very relaxed part of the empire, containing an almost 50:50 ratio of boron based and carbon based planets, being very inclusive architecture wise and houses 80% of the galaxies drekol and 90% of the non-homeplanet ap

4: the outer ring, is the most heavily policed part of the empire, containing the newest planets in the empire and also includes in progress colonies, though it contains more carbon compatible planets than the inner ring and inclusive architecture and technology since when the empire grows the rings will grow

if you have any questions at all please dont be afraid to ask im more than happy to try and answer

i added the planet that ma-ch and pedal live on and the planet that ◖kru lives on to the galactic maps, the silver dot is the planet ◖kru lives on, and the yellow dot is the planet ma-ch and pedal live on

aetoparomoios, more commonly called an eagle dragon, are on the smaller side for drache which is still quite large, being about the size of a german shepherd, they fly above the steppe searching for prey items, whether that be within rivers and lakes or on trees or shrubs or just on the ground, they are also very commonly found eating carrion of organisms that have already been taken down, they usually travel in small groups consisting of 4-6 mature adults and anywhere from 3-10 children or subadults, being kicked out of the flock and have to find other adults once they become mature, during their spare time aetoparomoios frequently preen each other and engage in forms of play, they have also been shown to participate in acts of altruism by finding food for their fellow flock members if theyre hungry, each flocks adults will chose to mate if they wish and then will sing songs and show off their wings, even forcing themselves to be bipedal as a show of strength, whichever aetoparomoios proves they are stronger and more fit they will be the graiparent, once the oviparents are decided the flocks will find a nice damp spot to lay and collectively guard their eggs, as they take shifts going out and collecting food for the flock, if you have any questions about this seelenlos please dont be afraid to ask i am more than willing to answer
