White Whale

The White Whale is an elusive megafauna first discovered in Hex 1211.

Fins, Wings, Legs or More Aguamala hunts, takes to the skies And while the prey is it's own reward The White Whales more than its own demise Take to the blade, take to the knife Grab your victuals, grab your skeins The hunt's afoot, violence is rife We'll stich our wounds and our trophies For the tusks of ivory draw our envy the appendages of void-hardened skin We study not it's biology Except to let our weapons in The White Whale beckons and heralds us all Awake, Aguamala! We answer the call! Aguamalan Hunting Song

The Battle for the White Whale

Combatants

La Casa de Fieras

The prized fleet of the Aguamala organization Embrión, a group dedicated to preventing the extinction of rare fauna as well as genetically engineering new fauna. Its primary focus is to act as a mobile research platform to test creatures new and old against various forms of life across Beacon Space.

A significant portion of this fleet is made up of the forces of smaller Lodges who serve as protection both against outside threats and the creatures contained within, should they manage to loosen their shackles. La Casa de Fieras does see a considerable amount of violence, releasing these creatures with robotic observers (and potentially support, depending on the nature of the conflict) and recording as much data as possible so as to produce better monsters in the future.

Currently, it is less being used for active research and more being used to impress the TTGI as a means of displaying what varieties of life could exist on Telas in the future, as well as the benefits of cultivating such life despite their dangerous qualities.

La Lanza

A collection of ships primarily of two or three large Lodges with several smaller or up and coming ones tagging along. The Lodges of this fleet lean heavily into the culture of the hunt and are always looking for new challenges to take on and overcome. The hulls of its ships always contain a portion of their previous conquests. These remains are sold as artwork or narcotics wherever the fleet travels.

Lepides Pagu

Constructed by the Salcedo family on behalf of the Syndicate, the fleet was developed using Gomese production facilities recently brought online. Several novel systems including a wing of semi-autonomous drones designed to seek out and detect targets in congested areas, such as asteroid fields.

Væringi Vipers

A classic Dynaean fleet; a mishmash of custom whale-bone corsairs and old scavenged ships retrofitted as multi-purpose whalers and pirates. The crews are hardened veterans and typical Dynaean Whai.

The Black Ghorāb

A fleet of heavy gunboats from the Puluhanni Navy exchanged to the Whai to secure safe travels in the Nusantara System

Whai Strike Fleet IV

Recently assembled from ships impounded and seized around Telas, they are yet to be named. They are more sleek and shiny than their kin (although most of the serial numbers have been filed off), with many of the crews having only recently taken to the void, although they have seen some unnaturally good luck in their first major outing.
