Had this idea bumping around in my head for the past few days

Goa and his mother stuff

Killah is a pure breed Kalai who was a great hunter as well as mother to her only child Goa. She was one of the many Kalai who was abroad the Drifter which studied beings and planets during the Old Republic while remaining neutral and hidden in their warfare.

Killah picked out the human Jun to be a donor after they caught a small Republic ship and went about studying the crews memories and their DNA.

She fell in love with Goa when she was first introduced to a small pile of cells that floated in a small tube. After that she regularly visited the growing chambers to watch and check on her half human child. When it was finally time for Goa to be ‘born’ she was already pacing before the locked doors waiting to be let in.

Goa has faint memories of being in a 'room of tubes’ and seeing things in some tubes. But his first real memory is that of something probing his mind and being ever so happy and warm to him. As in tradition they bonded for the first few days until he was old enough to be introduced to the others on the ship. A feat done while in his mothers protective grasp.

Goa’s real name is Aga, 'Go’ was a prefix added cause he was small well much smaller than the old male who went by Aga. It was used as a pet name. Yet after being alone for so long and not hearing his name he mistakes Go-Aga as his real name when Brocmil asks for his name.

When Goa came to age he was allowed to play with the other younglings which meant that they ran about the ship causing amuk of trouble and getting into all sorts of things. Life saving skills learned being climbing, play fighting, tackle tag and most importantly using those brains to solve problems. He as well as the other hybrids were placed in additional lessons to insure that they picked up the knowledge they needed for the job they were made for. Lessons on how to act,look and be a normal human being was given at an older age. Thus Goa had none of those skills when he was kidnapped.

Don’t mind me just musing on little Kalai and Lethagoe younglings running around and doing doing stuff.

Aga (Goa) of course is trying to catch up with the older ones and ends up taking a nap on the floor only to have everyone else go and join him for a quick nap.

Younglings trying to climb and get to all the tall things around he ship including their own parents cause the size difference between them is too cute. Or younglings being carried around on their parent’s tail as their parents walk or work.

The idea that the adults of both species is able to handle the hive like mind and share information between the members with ease. While the younglings mostly send spastic messages or feelings to each other as they try and figure it out how to use it properly.

Biting hard things is relatively normal for teeth breaking the gums, sharpening teeth or to simply deal with boredom.

The idea that thanks to time, a healthy (mostly) life style and a major lack of stress,  Goa regains some feeling back to his connection.

Not enough to establish communication between him and his mother but just enough to sense things when they happen to be close enough to each other.

It would be annoying when he starts sensing things, even more if he improved well enough to actually pick up on any communication that she intercepted and passes on.

List of words within the Lethagoe/Kalai langauge

Cause I find the need to list this stuff down while AU'ing some lost Jedi who are captured by the Kalai/Lethagoe ship.

'Blank signal' a being not connected to others through a metal link

'Troubling Cluster' a group of roaming age young, often loud and mischievous

'Chirping signal'  a child who feels the need to talk to everyone

'Jumping' similar to hyperspace jumps involve advance planning to prevent impacts does not use known hyperspace lanes

'flying together' moving in time with the group. Either a visual or vocal movement done at the same time, may have roots in primitive intimidation methods.

'Faint signal' a weak connection often a one way signal

'Great Stream'  A current of light seen only by the Kalai that winds through space.

' a flying rock' a non-connected spacer

'a flying bat' a spacer with some sort of mental connection but not of Kalai origin .

'Dancing pair' a couple

'Brood nest'  a group of young who are raised together and remain together throughout life

Go 'Small one' little, small, mini

'Watching' to review another's memories mostly done to non-connecters

Rambling and attempting to figure out and maybe expanding the Kalai and Lethagoe ?

But then I remember that I could work within the idea and guides that seeing/thinking how the Kalai are telepathic and are ever shifting balls of light that they can change their shape and mess with the minds of others to make them appear as something else that they fear or even enjoy. That to them the life cycle seems to be never ending but for their hybrid offspring they hold them dear and the passing of one is shocking.. (Maybe a death simply compacts the memories of the fallen into ball of energy and that returns to the group? )

It also gives way that the Kalai might be using humans and other beings as spies when they find them, but at the same time bare their offspring to not only be the face of the species but also information gathers when dealing with races that the Kalai can't interact with. After all we do know that they are watchers of the conflict between humans and aliens. Even more so on the war.

So maybe Goa wasn't really forgotten about, maybe they just used him to gather information since he ventured further than anyone else and he simply forgot about it. It would make since, he barely remembers his own name, he doesn't remember what his native language is more or less understands it, nor does he have a clear image of the things he sometimes sees in his dreams. To think that little Goa at age 7 was given a mission to gather information and that after all the stuff he went though he forgot about it like he forgot everything else.  But if he's spent so long away from the others, and he's not as developed as the rest of them would his little energy ball make it back? I know his fractured mind think it knows where home is at, but I don't think it really knows where it's at. It might have an idea, but if Goa broke the connection then there's no real link between the two places to lead him back.

The problems of the Kalai/Lethagoe race

Things that are known about the Kalai:

Capable of having hybrid children with humans called Lethagoes

Their language is difficult to translate to basic 

Didn't really show up until much later around the Galactic Civil War

Currently docked on the Zirtran's Anchor

don't like dealing with outsiders

Can appear as a ball of dancing light that other's don't see

Know about the Anchors disappearance

Able to read minds and memories

Telepathic

They are observers, watching the relationship between humans and aliens

Own a strange model of ship called the 'Destiny' and have small hawk like nimble craft that out do x-wings and TIE fighters

Possibly correct/wrong about the Kalai:

possibly linked with bird or flying creatures due to their hybrid children's appearances.

Maybe balls of light, tall telepathic shadows....human...

Maybe from wild space or the unknown region

May have been around watching the wars only picking now to show themselves

Seem to be building some kind of army or something

Might be able to do a memory wipe on humans (after all I'm sure someone is gonna remember sleeping with a ball of light)

The Unknown about the Kalai:

Agenda

planet/system of orgin

Correct appearance

Their population

Known about Lethagoes:

Tall, up to 6 meters or 20ft, and reed thin

Human like

Pale and thin face with jutting chin, a sharp nose and sever eyes

deal with outsiders

Can change appearance

Know about the Anchor's disappearance

Possibly correct/wrong about Lethagoe:

High strength hidden in that reed thin body?

The unknown about Lethagoe:

Are they also telepathic?

As a hybrid can they reproduce nor no?

Just how good is that illusion?

Do they age faster than normal or because of their height are they mistaken for adults and make themselves appear older?

Well after spending almost an hour going back and forth between the book and the wookieepedia I'm left with this mess of facts, and possible truths.

I'm not sure how you can hide a 20 ft Lethagoe more or less how they would keep themselves from falling over and stuff. I'm not sure if this person was in the right mind when writing this, unless the ship is bigger on the inside.

Not a whole lot of comfortable wiggle room, the facts are barely enough to go on at times and at others leave alot more questions.

Though I can do this to Goa.

Goa is 6ft tall and is kind of stuck there due to malnutrition and lack of whatever a proper Lethagoe diet is. His strength is above average for a normal human despite looking to thin to handle a punch. When he was younger and didn't have that much of a grasp of illusions his illusions were decent though noting to be proud of. His deafness didn't cause him to lose contact with the Kalai's thoughts but he did accidentally shut them out of his mind when he was under the knife due to the amount of physical and mental stress.

Little Lost One

Out in the middle of nowhere that was home. Where the endless void of space littered with dying stars and thriving planets was visible for all to see. Where few if any ships passed their path and those which did didn't stay for long. Where lights darted, faded, and floated as they wished. Sometimes taking different shapes that mimicked a tall thin human form.

This was home, on a large spacecraft that drifted beyond the known universe. Where dancing lights mingled with stray pirates and smugglers before sending them away without any harm but with enough questions. Aside from goods given to them, sometimes a child would join cycles after their sire's departure. While few in number they played and grew as expected to join the ranks in sustaining their home and watching the unseen along side their kin.

Children shouted and screamed as they ran through the hanger bay, past the large crates and strange vessels that resembled creatures none of them have ever seen. While only a group of three at varying ages they were followed by smaller lights which dashed and darted this way and that with a variety of color. While the lights shimmered and flashed they admitted no sound, and yet the children responded speaking in a language hardly heard by outsiders.

Laughing and giggling they played together, while larger lights started to drip down from the ceiling and remain close to the top while their human like offspring bellow came in and ushered both children and smaller orbs to hide.

Doing as they were told they ran and floated off to a pile of crates and hide behind and inside them while their caretakers watched a beaten old vessel be dragged into it's hanger. They watched with wonder and curiosity as the ship landed before a man stumbled out speaking in their view funny.  Yet the adults who looked like this man spoke to him with no problem and tried to lead him out of the hanger. He seemed to protest  and the children went silent as they could feel the anger caused by their parents up above. A few weary glances were casted up at the ever changing lights above them before the anger seemed to fade from the hanger as the man eventually gave in.

With the adults following after the children slowly snuck out from their hiding spot and wandered close to the outsiders ship. They dared each other to venture close to it only to end up being too nervous to get too close to it because of odd whirling sounds that came from it.

But like all children they soon forgot about the odd spacecraft and went on with their playing, chasing each other in an odd game of tag where one was tackled by the one who was 'it'. And eventually they darted off back into the hallways to play some more without knowing that they had left one of their friends behind.

Curled up and sleeping on the floor was the youngest of the trio. Pale faced and somewhat thin like the adults his dark gray hair stood out from the metal gray that he was laying on. Too tired to hear anything and too small to spot in a quick glance he was quickly over looked when the adults lead the man back to the hanger.

He didn't get in his ship though and with some help got his ship charged.  He spoke a few more words before the adults turned and left not knowing that they left one of their own behind. While he roamed for supplies in the hanger he found the small boy curled up fast asleep. All it took was a small glance at the doors before he lifted the child up and took it to his ship.

Tucking the child away in a smuggler's hold he acted as if he had seen or done nothing and with a few words left the hanger with his stolen cargo.

By the time that any of the adults noticed that one of their own was missing it was too late.His frightened feelings were readable to the adults as the lights did their best to calm him and make too sweet promises that he would be saved. There was nothing for them to do aside from morning and hoping that their young would be seen again
