Kraggship
Kragg are massive leviathans that evolved to live in nebulae and globular clusters, feeding on the vast amounts of cosmic debris and radiation present in these densely-packed stellar formations, and using pressurized gaseous discharges from specialized orifices to maneuver through space. Upon the onset of the creature's adolescence, females of the species develop large gestation pods on their abdomens. These pods are filled with a highly volatile material that is nearly identical at the molecular level to the fuel used to power RCS thrusters on most space-faring craft. RCS fuel is an extremely valuable substance due to its complicated refining process when procured from other sources.
The presence of this rare material in Kragg bodies has led to atrocities and barbarism toward the creatures by pirates and other unfavorables seeking to exploit them.
In this case, a neural link was established to control the Kragg, making it unable to resist or escape. The pirates then mounted a command post and extraction equipment directly onto the creature's exoskeleton. Having direct control over all the Kragg's bodily systems, they can now produce as much fuel as they need and direct the creature itself to wherever they can find buyers as undesirable as themselves.
Although efforts are underway to end such inhumane practices, there is currently no official policy to protect the Kragg, allowing the exploitation of these gentle giants to continue for the foreseeable future.
