Surely a being of such magnitude must hold some secrets to the galaxy. Though there has been extensive speculation on the viability or even potential existence of any kind of life adapted for the vacuum of space, none have been able to prove any hypothesis one way or another. The complete alien nature of something that could feasibly live without any kind of atmosphere or gravity pushes the limits of human speculation. Though themselves alien, every other race humanity has encountered has had a terrestrial origin. PHR expeditionary fleets have, almost by accident, stumbled into proof of space-based lifeforms. A solitary, anomalous creature was found in a small orange dwarf system. For an as-yet-unknown reason, this creature was traversing a veritable cosmic backwater with nought but ice and gas giants. Seemingly passive, the creature ignored the survey fleet, at least until it closed in. Initially curious, the creature allowed a single survey vessel close enough to scan, though was likely taking in all it could of the strange mechanical interloper.Its temperament suddenly changed, however, when a second survey vessel moved to its opposite flank. Without warning, it unleashed a tentacle that damn near tore the closest ship in half. If it wasn't for the quick thinking of the crew, the ship could well have been lost to the attack. The flanking ship was hit by an attack with no discernible origin. Crushing forces impacted the ship and though little structural damage was caused, they were pushed into a completely different heading and at a much reduced velocity. Fortunately, both ships had completed detailed scans of the creature, and although these are currently highly classified, news of this incredible discovery, now dubbed ''The Argonaut'' is reaching the ears of those back in the republic. Unfortunately, both survey ships have been prevented from returning to PHR space and have been instructed to seek the nearest safe-haven to repair and shelter. While the Solar system is hardly safe, it is the largest concentration of PHR assets within a reasonable distance, and is about as safe as anywhere else. This set includes: 1 Fauna 1 Base with flight stand Miniatures supplied unpainted and unassembled. This kit will require cleaning and assembly, and could need some small holes filled. Other ships and gaming mats are for scale purposes only. Clear acrylic bases will require super glue and may have a protective blue film on one side that will need removing.
