Clypeus genus

Description

Extremophile organisms that have evolved to create hard shield structures, primarily to protect against stellar radiation. They also collect and condense traces of liquid material in the atmosphere, allowing the organisms to flourish in extremely arid environments. The shields are typically synthesised from surrounding inorganic material. which will frequently define their shape and colouration.

Minimum distance between two genetic samples: 150 m

Conditions of occurrence

  • Planets with thin Carbon Dioxide or Water atmosphere
  • Because of atmospheres types: only on Rocky and High Metal Content planets
  • Maximum gravity: 0.27
  • Mean temperature superior to 190 K

Clypeus lacrimam

CMDR Tiberius Vaako, Clypeus lacrimam, Skaudai PJ-G d11-13, 6 A

Description

A species of clypeus that grows a broad, tear-shaped shield to protect the sensitive organism from extreme sunlight. The shield’s ridges help to direct Water droplets down into the soil.

Conditions of occurrence

  • Planets with thin Carbon Dioxide or Water atmosphere
  • Maximum gravity : 0.27
  • Mean temperature superior to 190 K

Clypeus margaritus

CMDR Kazahnn Drahnn, Clypeus margaritus, Crescent Sector XP-O b6-0, C 2

Description

This clypeus species produces a curved shield that resembles a large pearl in shape and texture. Up to three central organisms grow within it upon a supporting bed of leaves.

Conditions of occurrence

  • Planets with thin Carbon Dioxide or Water atmosphere
  • Maximum gravity : 0.27
  • Mean temperature superior to 190 K

Clypeus speculumi

CMDR Kenjyo, Clypeus speculumi, Scheau Phoe DD-T c20-2, AB 4 b

Description

A clypeus species that grows an angular shield with a mirrored exterior to protect the spiky organisms. This species can be found on planets orbiting their parent star at a distance of 5 AU or greater.

Conditions of occurrence

  • Planets with thin Carbon Dioxide or Water atmosphere
  • Maximum gravity : 0.27
  • Mean temperature superior to 190 K
  • Distance from parent star must be superior to 2 500 LS (5 AU)
