The Packet on the Species was put together from the initial reports from the observation team and started with a discription of the Mar’zek as they were apparently called

“The Mar’Zek are a sentient species of humaniods, standing between five foot ten inches at the smallest, and eight foot at the tallest weighing between one hundred to three hundred pounds. This species from what we can tell evolved from a Salamander like species smooth scales cover their dermal layer they are extremely tough and comes in Green Red and Orange their eyes are amber orange or green in color with Horizontal slit pupils their noses are flush with their skin giving them a smooth face their ears are very long thin and pointed upwards of a foot long in some cases Piercings in the ears are a comminality instead of hair the species grows Tendril like growths on their heads and in the case of the males faces these Head tails can be cut and removed without pain and styled much like hair they also have a tail that extends from their back this two can be removed without pain and regrown it is considered the height of humiliation if one has even a single one of these tendrils cut off against the individuals will The species have Prehensile feet much like Earth Chimpanzees The Mar’Zek also have a venomous bite that seems to be an evolutionary leftover and even more interesting life on this planet seems to have evolved to be Dextro-Amino based as apposed to most life being based on Levo-amino acid this means native foods are at best uneatable at worst poisonous to species of the Federation

The species seems to have a fascination with color and thus tries to be as wildly colorful as possible using a dye method to change their skin tone and even eye color at will some of the more affluent of the species can have almost 100 different colors at one time though one color seems to be restricted for the High Commandant and their confidants and that color appears to be purple

The Mar’zek are devoted to living in harmony with nature it seems that a cataclysmic event caused their polar ice caps to melt and flood their whole world though it was already a mostly aquatic world, to begin with, most of their early history was lost during this most of the species has taken to living on massive city ships as well as Airships though the Airships seem to only be for the extremely wealthy the plant life has adapted to the higher water levels all plant and animal life are bioluminescent and the planet has an overabundance of Geothermal vents which keep the temperature of the world quite comfortable given the planet is in a constant state of Twilight

the packet game Beam Down Coordinates, as well as a backstory, should the Observation team disappear they would be friends that have become worried because they had not heard from their friends in quite some time. however, a password was set up so that their contact Gal’mek would know they were friends The party should say “We sail the endless seas under bright stars”
