I dont think Old Garrans actually have that level of technology. Maybe Luke got it for her? :3

Old Garran tech would be (imo) a fascinating blend of organic tech, possibly even magical at times.

Like, imagine some creature’s chromatophoric skin stretched tight and manipulated to show text and images. (imagine a font designed to work with the irregular shapes of chromatic cells)

Buildings made of stone, pelts, tusks, carapace parts, painted and dyed in garish palettes because they’re all half blind and find it pleasing. (Old Garrans looove dressing with the gaudiest, most ostentatious accessories for this reason.)

Imagine centralized heat and air conditioning provided by huge living gas bladders! Just farting energy throughout the place! Imagine them running cheaply, on biofuel/food waste. This is like the Flinstones meet the Zerg, basically. Disgusting and cool, hell yeah.

Fun Facts: Tgr'ek

I pronounce it literally just like T'Grek or maybe a fast version of Tigger Ek. It's short for Tgrazud Ek, which is Old Garran for "Feared One" or some hilarious bullshit like that. This was middle school. Sue me.

Okay. So. Apollyna the Fuban was/is?? a "moodshifter". Whenever Apo got mad enough, Tgr'ek's what she'd shift into. Even though Tgr'ek was also her own separate character and also ruling another planet of similarly bloodthirsty demonaliens. I call quantum bullshit, but hey.

That's also what "Garrans" used to look like back in the day. I just call all that Old Garra. Creative. Anyway, they were ten feet tall, with bodies composed of 'thick shadow'. God I wish Sheezyart didn't shit itself years ago. There were detailed writeups on how the shadowy bits worked and how, exactly, Tiggy there could 'see' using what amounts to an eye socket billowing smoke. Fun stuff.
