Kamposi war ein allesfressender Apex-Raubtier mit einem dichten, soliden, kompakten Skelett, das an die hohe Schwerkraft und den hohen Druck in den tiefen Ozeanen von Kampos angepasst war. Obwohl die genaue Ursache f\u00fcr sein Aussterben unbekannt ist, wird aufgrund fossiler Aufzeichnungen vermutet, dass ein Unterwasser-Vulkanausbruch ein Aussterbeereignis ausgel\u00f6st haben k\u00f6nnte, das die Nahrungskette der Kamposi unterbrochen hat. Der [Gouverneursrat](https:\/\/robertsspaceindustries.com\/galactapedia\/article\/0rqzA55WZ3-uee-governors-council) von Ellis IV entschied sich, seinen Planeten Kampos nach dem kamposi magnus zu benennen, nachdem er 2562 vom UEE-Senat anerkannt wurde.\n\n###### ENTDECKUNG\nIm Jahr 2488 entdeckte der Kolonist Gary Yahontov von Ellis IV im [United Empire of Earth (UEE)](https:\/\/robertsspaceindustries.com\/galactapedia\/article\/VyvyKxy4v6-united-empire-of-earth) einen gro\u00dfen versteinerten Sch\u00e4del, w\u00e4hrend er an der K\u00fcste seiner Siedlung baggerte. Yahontov benutzte ihn sechs Jahre lang als Dekorationsst\u00fcck in seinem Garten. Vira Kamposi, eine Akademikerin, die auf der Durchreise war, um Gravitationseffekte auf das Leben auf dem lokalen Planeten zu untersuchen, stahl das Fossil im Jahr 2493 und transportierte es per Raumschiff zu ihren ehemaligen Lehrern an der Universit\u00e4t von Rhetor. Mitglieder der pal\u00e4ontologischen Abteilung identifizierten es als eine unentdeckte Spezies und schickten ein Forschungsteam nach Ellis IV. Ein komplettes versteinertes Skelett wurde 2496, 57 Kilometer von Yahontovs Heimat entfernt, entdeckt. Vom Team bereits als kamposi bezeichnet, f\u00fcgten die Forscher den Namen magnus an, nachdem das Skelett 11 Meter lang war. Die erste Herde von kamposi wurde 2543 entdeckt, was fr\u00fche Vermutungen, dass die kamposi Einzelg\u00e4nger waren, in Frage stellte.\n\nAls sie 2494 nach Ellis IV zur\u00fcckkehrte, wurde Kamposi verhaftet und wegen Diebstahls verurteilt, woraufhin sie sechs Monate im Gef\u00e4ngnis sa\u00df. Yahontov verklagte 2501 erfolgreich die Universit\u00e4t von Rhetor auf R\u00fcckgabe des Sch\u00e4dels. Er lag bis zu seinem Tod im Jahr 2536 in seinem Hof, woraufhin er von der Regierung von Ellis IV. beschlagnahmt wurde.\n\n###### BESCHREIBUNG\nRekonstruktionen des Kamposi zeigen, dass er bis zu 12 Meter lang werden konnte und typischerweise etwa 40 Tonnen wog. Er hatte vier Augen, zwei Paar gelenkige Unterkiefer um seinen Mund herum und ein Paar breite Sto\u00dfz\u00e4hne auf jeder Seite seines Kopfes. Die Z\u00e4hne an der Innenseite seines Kiefers und die Analyse seiner Knochen deuten darauf hin, dass er sowohl Fleisch als auch pflanzliche Nahrung zu sich nahm. Die Mandibeln erleichterten wahrscheinlich den schnellen Verzehr von Beutetieren und die Sto\u00dfz\u00e4hne halfen wahrscheinlich dabei, Bodenbewohner auszugraben und Pflanzen vom Meeresboden zu rei\u00dfen.\n\n###### AUSSTERBEN\nVor etwa 500.000 Jahren brach ein Supervulkan in der N\u00e4he des \u00c4quators von Kampos unter Wasser aus und verursachte Tsunamis, erhebliche seismische Verschiebungen und ein Massenaussterben. Die Kamposi verschwanden kurz nach der Eruption aus dem Fossilbericht. Die Analyse von Sto\u00dfz\u00e4hnen des Kamposi, die mehrere tausend Jahre vor diesem Ereignis entstanden sind, zeigt, dass es keine langfristigen Stressfaktoren gab, die zu seinem Untergang beigetragen haben k\u00f6nnten\n\n###### KULTURELLE BEDEUTUNG\nDer kamposi gilt als Symbol f\u00fcr Kampos. Da Kampos gr\u00f6\u00dftenteils vom Meer bedeckt ist, beherbergt es ein breites Spektrum an aquatischem Leben. Das Kamposi war eine der ersten gro\u00dfen Entdeckungen, die Kampos in seiner Koloniezeit gemacht hat. M\u00f6glicherweise weil er in den popul\u00e4ren Medien eine gewisse Ber\u00fchmtheit erlangte, nachdem die erste akademische Publikation \u00fcber ihn den Spitznamen \"Herren der Tiefe\" trug, haben die fr\u00fchen Bewohner von Ellis IV ihn als Symbol f\u00fcr die Ozeane und die einzigartige Artenvielfalt ihres Planeten angenommen.\n\nIm Jahr 2945 wurde eine ma\u00dfstabsgetreue Nachbildung des von Gary Yahontov entdeckten Kampos-Sch\u00e4dels in der Puglisi Collection ausgestellt. Er ist bis heute der meistverkaufte Puglisi-Artikel auf Kampos.","zh_CN":"###### KAMPOSI MAGNUS\nThe kamposi magnus was a tusked aquatic animal that inhabited [Kampos (Ellis IV)](https:\/\/robertsspaceindustries.com\/galactapedia\/article\/RAXxrxr7M5-kampos-ellis-iv) until roughly 500,000 SEY ago.
