I kinda had a new original species idea in mind.
So I was thinking more about like, the Lor, and if there was ever more ships like it. And I was thinking of a species known as The Navigators, who have a ship like it, but much, much larger, like, colony ship sized. Much like the Lor this ship is also sentient, making decisions to take care of the colony on board. They’re a species that diverged from whatever you call Magolor’s species.
I think The Navigators would be renowned for, well, their navigation and mapping of the universe. Once a Navigator visits a location once, or travels a route, they will remember it for the rest of their life. But they’re also well known for their magic, which would be extraordinarily powerful.
I think their society on board would genuinely be a true Utopia, the community having a sound and righteous community of leaders to govern them. The needs of all those on board are met, creating a strong, healthy community. No doubt in all their travels, they’ve seen many other societies, and some atrocities spawning from greed, violence and corruption. To such they gave a big ‘no thanks’ and didn’t do any of that, making life on board peaceful, stable and safe for all.
I just picture classes taught on the upper deck of the ship, teachers showing the next generations the constellations and galaxies and planets that their own teacher taught them about to use to navigate. Children having expressions of wonder as they get to learn magic and art peacefully. They’d be welcoming to those they came across, and a very curious species.
Key traits being that their paw pads, sclera and tail tuft have galaxy patterns unique like a zebra’s stripes. Their fur is always some dark colour, and their eye colour always bright and glowing. Starry freckles are very common.
