Line 31: __TOC__ ==Description== Also known as '''[[Akhlut]]''' ===Physiology=== A great worm, or wyrm, with many small wings/fins and a powerful tail. Its long, beak-like maw snarls silently in the void with rows of razor-sharp teeth. Below it’s anechoic scales, gravetically-charged organs propel the creature through empty reaches of space. ===Behavior=== The Whale is fairly reclusive, and avoids conflict with others out in space. Observations ~~idicate~~indicate that it will attempt to slip away from a conflict and camouflage itself in empty space. ~~However, if~~If cornered and without a means to escape, the White Whale has been known to retaliate violently. Utilizing available space debris and mighty tail slams it will attack its foes. It is more fond of batting around asteroids than chomping down on cargo freighters. ==Sector Perception== Line 91 ⟶ 93: Known colloquially as the ''Flycatchers'', are a group of Tahora Whai who operated out of Telas. In partnership with Silent Night Cargo Concerns, the Fluguafli were tasked with ensuring shipping in and around Telas remained calm. Due to navigational and communication errors, the Flycatchers were sent to Hex 0710. ====Starlit Court Mercenary Fleet==== Several knightly orders of the Starlit Court took a contract to defend the White Whale, (known as Syr William the Free by many knights). The Orders [[The Order of the Griffon\|Griffon]], [[~~The~~ Order of the Lion\|Lion]], [[Forge_Orders#The_Order_of_the_First_Forge\|First Forge]], and [[The Order of the Mystic Dragons\|Mystic Dragons]] all committed ships and mechs to the cause. The Starlit court Fleet was comprised of the Order of the Lion and the Order of the Mystic Dragon's capital ships the SCS Pride and the SCS Leviathan, supported by the Griffon frigates the SCS Albatross, and the SCS Gauss Hawk, with First forge capital ship the SCS Crucible as a support vessal. ==='''Turn 18'''=== Line 175 ⟶ 177: The [[Starlit Court]] establishes a base on [[Dachia]] and watches over the White Whale with an assembled mercenary fleet composed of the Knightly Orders [[The Order of the Griffon\|Griffon]], [[The Order of the Lion\|Lion]], [[Forge_Orders#The_Order_of_the_First_Forge\|First Forge]], and [[The Order of the Mystic Dragons\|Mystic Dragons]]. When the triumphant ''Armada of the Wild Expanse'' charged froth against the Whale the mercenary fleet of the [[Starlit Court]] launched interceptor mechs and fightercraft to hold the line against Aguamala’s drones. The ships '''SCS Gaus Hawk''' and '''SCS ~~Albatros~~Albatross''' of [[The Order of the Griffon]] suffer considerable damage and are forced to retreat from the engagement. Prominent mechs from [[The Order of the Lion]] are also knocked out of action. Despite these losses, the mercenary fleet as a whole stands fast not letting a single Aguamalan munition harm the Whale. Having failed to defend the Whale last month in Hex 0811 the ''Black Ghorāb’s'' armaments spool up again: now over [[Dachia]]. The gunboat–bolstered by a handful of ships from the Væringi Vipers–held fast against the determined sortie from the ''Viridescent Fangs''. The novice Aguamalans are unable to once again slip past the Whai and are met with a torrent of fire.
