 SHIP_GRAPHICS_SPACE_AMOEBA_DESC: "A drifting, gelatinous lifeform that pulses with a slow, luminous rhythm. Its movements suggest a strange, deliberate intelligence, though its purpose remains a mystery."
 SHIP_GRAPHICS_SPACE_AMOEBA_MOTHER_DESC: "Larger and older than others of its kind, this huge entity exudes a quiet gravity. Some believe it guides the lesser forms through instinct, or something deeper."
 SHIP_GRAPHICS_SPACE_WHALE_1_DESC: "This variant of the voidborne fauna glides with measured grace, its bioluminescent patterns tracing ancient constellations as it moves."
 SHIP_GRAPHICS_SPACE_WHALE_2_DESC: "Massive and slow-moving, this creature bears the marks of age; encrustations, scars, and hitchhiking organisms clinging to its vast hide."
 SHIP_GRAPHICS_SPACE_WHALE_3_DESC: "Sleek and spectral, this specimen travels alone through ion storms and nebulae. Some say its glowing trails are a form of communication."
 SHIP_GRAPHICS_SPACE_WHALE_4_DESC: "Long tendrils drift behind this spacefaring beast, shimmering like gossamer in starlight. It seems drawn to high-energy regions, for reasons unknown."
 SHIP_GRAPHICS_SPACE_WHALE_5_DESC: "Rare and elusive, this type emits low-frequency pulses that resonate strangely with local matter. Many who observe it report inexplicable feelings of awe... or dread."
 SHIP_GRAPHICS_VOIDWORMS_SMALL_DESC: "Sinuous and rapid, these entities dart through space like echoes of a forgotten language. Their form seems only partially anchored to the material plane."
 SHIP_GRAPHICS_VOIDWORMS_MEDIUM_DESC: "Larger voidworms twist through the cosmos with unsettling grace. Their surfaces shimmer with patterns that defy explanation, evoking both beauty and unease."
 SHIP_GRAPHICS_VOIDWORMS_LARGE_DESC: "Vast beyond reckoning, this voidworm moves with glacial certainty. Observers report temporal dissonance and fleeting visions when in close proximity."
 SHIP_GRAPHICS_CUTHOLOIDS_DESC: "These ancient and tentacled beings drift in silence, watching with unseen eyes. Their very presence causes instruments to falter and thoughts to fray at the edges."
 SHIP_GRAPHICS_CUTHOLOIDS_HATCHLING_DESC: "A young specimen, still growing into its incomprehensible form. Despite its size, it radiates an uncanny stillness that unsettles the mind."
 SHIP_GRAPHICS_CUTHOLOIDS_JUVENILE_DESC: "No longer a hatchling, but not yet mature, this entity exudes erratic patterns of movement and light. Some suggest it dreams aloud, in frequencies we cannot understand."
 SHIP_GRAPHICS_VOIDWORMS_TITAN_DESC: "Locked in a mesmerizing mating dance, these Voidworms move and fight as one, in search of new breeding grounds for their hatchlings."
 SHIP_GRAPHICS_CRYSTAL_SHIP_SMALL_BLUE_DESC: "Shardlings Break off from their Nidus and travel through space with limited propulsion means to find stellar bodies that they can embed into to develop their crystalline structures. Most are lost to the void forever."
 SHIP_GRAPHICS_CRYSTAL_SHIP_MEDIUM_BLUE_DESC: "Crystal shards come from shardlings fortunate enough to strike large enough asteroids when looking for sustenance. Now approaching sentience, these large crystalline ships will eventually set off in search of planetoids to grow once more."
 SHIP_GRAPHICS_CRYSTAL_SHIP_LARGE_BLUE_DESC: "Crystalline Quintessence are fully grown, and their surface catches and refracts light in a dazzling display of reflections. While not exactly communal, these entities have still been observed using their mass to steer shardlings towards asteroids."

 leviathans.555.a:0 "Who built it, initially?"
 leviathans.555.a.reply:2 "Unfortunately, no definitive data regarding the Scavenger's origin is known to exist. Some researchers believe it to be a malfunctioning scrap collection service machine from a lost empire, its purpose long since muddled by hardware degradation. Others believe it to have originated as a single microscopic nanobot, programmed to endlessly build itself larger and stronger by exploiting its environment. Still others reckon it may have started out as a robotic ship's captain; the sole survivor of an intergalactic battle waged millennia ago. Perhaps its reasoning systems were irrevocably damaged by the sudden destruction of its entire civilization.\n\nOf course, this is all just speculation."
 leviathans.555.b:0 "Can we communicate with it?"
 leviathans.555.b.reply:2 "Over the years there have been many attempts to communicate with it, or else to alter the programming of the Scavenger. Unfortunately, most of those expeditions ended up part of the cosmic scrap yards where the Scavenger Bot dwells. Only those who were able to outrun it survived.\n\nThe Scavenger has welded enough heavy artillery onto its patchwork frame to single-handedly destroy an entire nation's fleet - an event that may already have occurred on more than one occasion.

Of course, to the uninitiated, most of these are obscured from view - but our advanced sensors have managed to isolate them.\n\nTell your fleets to focus fire on the indicated sections of the Scavenger's hull, and it should substantially reduce the amount of damage the construct is able to take before collapsing."

 leviathans.556.a.reply:0 "Her incredible size is an anomaly, to be sure. We believe the Matriarch is a wanderer from another galaxy in deep space, where a species of Tiyanki far greater in size and strength diverged evolutionarily from the Tiyanki found in our own.\n\nOf course, it is also possible the Matriarch is simply suffering from an advanced form of gigantism - though this would fail to explain her extended lifespan."

Previously impervious to contact attempts, it now sends out a rhythmic pulse of radio waves, pointed towards the black hole it orbits.\n\nWhat it's doing is beyond any of our staff, but this signal might have created an opening into the sphere for our scientists to exploit."
 leviathans.1051.desc:0 "The metallic orb has been opened up. Our hacking team has been able to use the outgoing signal as a gateway into one of the auxiliary CPUs of the sphere. We are receiving some data from it and can tell that it's been scanning the black hole Gargantua for a very long time.\n\nIt is old.

 leviathans.2114.desc:0 "The high level of energy sent into the fortress to power the door was powerful enough to cause the reignition of a deeper energy source within. With its defenses online once again, the airlock will not be a concern until we've disabled them."
 leviathans.2114.a:0 "Brace yourselves."
 leviathans.2115.name:0 "Fortress: Airlock Opened"
 leviathans.2115.desc:0 "At first, the amount of energy supplied to the fortress seemed too small to make a difference. Then, the area surrounding the airlock slowly started to show signs of functioning. With some mechanical tricks and guesswork, the team accessed the controls and managed to open the airlock itself. Although not by the cleanest docking procedure, they are now inside the fortress."
 leviathans.2115.a:0 "Let's hope we can also get them out."
 leviathans.2131.name:0 "Fortress: The Tower"
 leviathans.2131.desc:0 "The away team find their way blocked by a massive bulkhead. The team report that there is a recessed alcove to their right, housing a pedestal and a contraption wrought in the same black metal as the fortress itself.\n\nThey believe this device is the key to opening the bulkhead. The leader of the explorers describes it as three upright poles spaced equidistant across the top of the pedestal, with three rings - metal tori - of varying sizes placed around the leftmost pole, the smallest at the top and the largest at the bottom."
 leviathans.2131.a:0 "Place metal rings around the remaining two poles."
 leviathans.2131.b:0 "Search for torus-shaped indentations on the bulkhead."
 leviathans.2131.c:0 "Rearrange the metal tori on the poles."
 leviathans.2131.d:0 "Remove center and rightmost poles from the pedestal."
 leviathans.2132.name:0 "Fortress: Disturbing Noises"
 leviathans.2132.desc:0 "After the course of action was announced, a moment of silence followed, then vague scraping noises as the team attempted to carry out their plan. After another pause, faint shuffling and a draw-out, sharp sound increasing in pitch over five seconds. Then a long silence. It took us several minutes to accept that this was the end of the expedition. No screaming, no calls for aid. We can at least hope this means they met a quick end.\n\nAfter a quarter, a slow, heavy rasp suggests whatever trap sprung on them reset itself. Some present claim it sounded like alien laughter.\n\nFinally, the fortress managed an even more disturbing sound: that of the power returning to its defense systems."
 leviathans.2132.a:0 "This place is a hellish contraption."
 leviathans.2133.name:0 "Fortress: Tower Rebuilt"
 leviathans.2133.desc:0 "After the course of action was announced, a moment of silence followed, then vague scraping noises as the team attempted to carry out their plan. A splashing sound, so loud that at first you think the team has been swatted like small insects, is followed by cheers from the team as they report that a passage has opened.\n\nThe bulkhead appears to have rapidly transformed into an unpleasant-smelling liquid reminiscent of purple quicksilver. Combined with the relatively mundane puzzle mechanism, you have a feeling the team has been victims of an elaborate prank set up millennia ago."
 leviathans.2133.a:0 "We can laugh about it now, at least."
 leviathans.2150.name:0 "Fortress: The Pivot"
 leviathans.2150.desc:0 "The team reports that they have reached what appears to be the geometric center of the fortress, even if the internal geometry leaves some doubt if the concept of a center is even relevant in there.\n\nWhat is indisputably relevant is how the fortress is powered, which makes the team's new discovery all the more interesting. Dark matter is funneled around the fortress and then back to the core, like a cardiovascular system. Although the flow has stopped, the team has found signs that it's starting again. We can take all the time we want to study it, but it needs to be stopped now."
 leviathans.2150.a:0 "We'll find a way."
 leviathans.2151.name:0 "Fortress: The Heart of Dark Matter"
 leviathans.2151.desc:0 "Examining a black hole with our new knowledge of how dark matter is used in the ancient fortress, we have discovered that its builders must have learned many of the manipulation and funneling techniques from black holes. Seeing them outside of the strict system they created allowed the team of explorers to change connections around the core safely, stopping the repowering process.\n\nWhile this process alone has taught us much about the physics of black holes, it is nothing compared to the treasure that the now safely shut-down fortress presents."
 leviathans.2151.a:0 "We shall cherish it."
 leviathans.2152.name:0 "Fortress: Our Star Witness"
 leviathans.2152.desc:0 "Scouring the local star for clues to how the fortress was built, we discovered a surprising secret. A fine mist of nanotechnological cameras have been found in close proximity to the star, acting as the eyes of the fortress and explaining the efficiency of its defenses.\n\nAccessing these with data from the fortress, we can view the history of the system all the way back to its construction. However, we are running out of time. Which part of the construction process should we review for answers?"
 leviathans.2152.a:0 "The beginning."
 leviathans.2152.b:0 "The middle."
 leviathans.2152.c:0 "The end."
 leviathans.2153.name:0 "Fortress: Fruitless Beginnings"
 leviathans.2153.desc:0 "Hoping to see the heart of the fortress built first, we reviewed the beginning of the construction. We hoped in vain. The hull was built first, making the data useless. Our team are reporting that the fortress is repowering, and with it its control of the cameras and their footage."
 leviathans.2153.a:0 "No more time."
 leviathans.2154.name:0 "Fortress: The Middle Path"
 leviathans.2154.desc:0 "The middle section of the footage, although not showing the construction of the core itself, reveals the shipping of materials to the fortress which scientists conclude must have been used for the core. This must have been the critical time at which the structure needed power for construction to continue.\n\nWith knowledge of these materials, the team inside the fortress has managed to stop it from repowering. We can now reap the fruits of our success."
 leviathans.2154.a:0 "Well deserved."
 leviathans.2155.name:0 "Fortress: The End"
 leviathans.2155.desc:0 "Reviewing the final stages of the construction, we discovered too late that they must have required the fortress to already be powered. The core must have been functional at the point where we started our viewing. Our team are reporting that the fortress is repowering, and with it its control of the cameras and their footage."
 leviathans.2155.a:0 "No more time."
 leviathans.2156.name:0 "Fortress: Dark Matter Gambit"
 leviathans.2156.desc:0 "Whoever built the fortress might have been more knowledgeable than we, but not more clever. Supplying our own dark matter to close the loop of the power system in the fortress worked, and the core is now effectively cut off from providing power to its systems.\n\nFinally, we can take the time to have a closer look at what these knowledgeable people have accomplished."
 leviathans.2156.a:0 "Finally."
 leviathans.2157.name:0 "Fortress: Shot Through the Heart"
 leviathans.2157.desc:0 "In a feat of unprecedented bravery and precision, a pilot fired a torpedo into the heart of the fortress to stop it from repowering. The plan must be hailed as a great success, since the fortress will never be powered again.\n\nThe moment the torpedo hit, the entire structure exploded, irreversibly destroying any trace of the ancient technology in it as well as everything else in the system. Archaeologists have dubbed it "the most expensive fireworks show ever funded by the [Root.GetAdj] government." It is unlikely to be beaten anytime soon."
 leviathans.2157.a:0 "Everyone's a critic."
 leviathans.2157.a.tooltip:0 "The solar system burns."
 leviathans.2160.name:0 "Fortress: Repowering"
 leviathans.2160.desc:0 "Time has run out. The enigmatic fortress has recovered from our initial assault and is once again starting up its defenses.

 leviathans.2160.a:0 "But not the one we hoped for."

 ### DIMENSIONAL HORROR
 leviathans.3001:0 "Horror in the Void"
 leviathans.3001.desc:0 "We have encountered some kind of vast entity near [horror_system.GetName]. It appears to exist only partially inside our own universe, with the bulk of the creature still trapped in whatever nightmarish realm it spawned from.\n\nThere is a malevolent intelligence at work here, ancient beyond our concept of time and utterly alien in its design. We can only guess as to its purpose."
 leviathans.3001.a:0 "It can't be good."
 leviathans.3003:0 "Banished"
 leviathans.3003.desc:2 "The malignant entity which attempted to breach our universe near [guardians_horror_system.GetName] has been banished back into its own realm. Only time will tell if its influence has been sufficiently weakened to keep it there for good.\n\nWe are detecting some kind of anomalous residual energy that must have been left behind by the dimensional rifts the creature opened. Studying this energy more closely could potentially lead to scientific breakthroughs."

 leviathans.3100.a:0 "Look at the size of that thing!"
 leviathans.3102:0 "Dreadnought Disabled"
 leviathans.3102.desc:0 "We have managed to disable the automated dreadnought in the [guardians_dreadnought_system.GetName] system. Despite the punishment it took from our ships, the structural integrity of the warship's massive hull remains largely intact.\n\nOur boarding parties found the mummified remains of the dreadnought's alien crew still manning their stations. Before expiring, they activated some kind of automated patrol mode which the limited shipboard AI has been locked in for the past 7.8 million years.\n\nAlthough it would take an incredible amount of resources, some of our engineers believe that the dreadnought can be restored and put back into service with our fleet. It would certainly make for a powerful flagship."
 leviathans.3102.a:0 "That ship will sail the stars again under our flag!"
 leviathans.3102.b:0 "It would be a waste of resources. Salvage it for parts."

We should consider dispatching a science party to see what we can find inside it."
 leviathans.3204.a:0 "Prepare an away team."

 leviathans.3205.desc:0 "Our science team has finished exploring the massive network of tunnels and chambers running through the hive asteroid in the [hive_system.GetName] system. No live specimens of the spaceborne creatures that attacked us were encountered, but the scientists did find the remains of some kind of birthing chamber.\n\nThis has given us a great deal of insight into the life cycle of these entities, further expanding our understanding of galactic biology."
