Stormwal
# STORMWAL
The stormwal is a warm-blooded vertebrate indigenous to [Crusader (Stanton II)](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/VarZxj1Qav-crusader-stanton-ii), [United Empire of Earth (UEE)](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/VyvyKxy4v6-united-empire-of-earth). It was discovered in 2855, when three workers assembling Providence Platform for the [UEE Navy](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/RPDvKOpdP4-uee-navy) were startled by a stormwal rising from the depths of the planet's atmosphere, causing them to drop some of their tools. The stormwal is the largest known animal with the ability to fly.
# DESCRIPTION
Some stormwals can reach 100 meters in length upon reaching adulthood. They are most commonly rosy-gray in color, with iridescent red fins and lightly-striped hides flecked with gold. Deep blue stormwals with blue-gray fins have also been observed. They have long, spade-shaped snouts and four eyes, two on each side of the head. Four long barbels trail off the head from the chin and the brow, which are used alongside the filaments on their pectoral, dorsal, and tail fins to sense the miniscule electrical fields of aeroplankton and [kiami](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/RkG8lNDMW9-kiami), their main prey. Four other elongated non-frilled fins are situated on the left and right side of the stormwal's belly. Six nostrils on either side of the snout and two enormous cavities just behind the head take in air that is internally distilled by specialized organs to contain only helium and hydrogen, which is then used to fill inner flight bladders that enable the stormwal to maintain flight. Excess air is expelled, and new air is taken in as needed.
# BEHAVIOR AND ECOLOGY
Adult stormwals must eat between 1000 and 1500 kg of aeroplankton, kiami, small floaters, and other animals each day. They cooperate with their pods when hunting, flying in circles to force prey to concentrate in the center of an air vortex. The stormwals then take turns swimming into the trapped prey, taking huge gulps of air until they are sated. Solo stormwals often eat by diving into cloud formations that are densely-populated with aeroplankton.
Electricity is vital to a stormwal's life cycle. To communicate, either to signal that a food source has been found, seek mates, call young who have flown too far from their parents, or simply to engage in bonding behavior, stormwals send electro-magnetic pulses to one another over long distances. When engaging in courtship, each stormwal will weave an intricate electro-magnetic pattern and transmit it to their prospective mate. This process can take several days. If either animal dislikes the pattern, they will break away from one another and seek mates elsewhere.
Stormwal reproduction is a coordinated affair. Because they give live birth and stormwals do not land, a stormwal in labor must be watched by one or more other stormwals. When the squall emerges from its mother, one of the watching stormwals will catch it and let it rest, so that it has time to slowly fill its internal air cavities. Squalls that are not caught are in great danger of falling to their deaths. When the squall is finally able to float, it is returned to its mother, where it latches onto her mammary gland and feeds. It will nurse as its primary food source for up to two SEY.
# IN CULTURE
Denizens of [Orison](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/V7dgN8Pkrm-orison) consider the stormwal a symbol of their city. A large statue of a stormwal entitled "Until Then" by artist Biphasha Zhu sits in Cloudview Center, and the official mascot of the city, Finley the stormwal, can be purchased in plush form in local shops. Visitors to Orison can book tours to the nearby Stormwal Sanctuary, where they try to catch a glimpse of the animals in their natural habitat.
In recent years, poachers have been spotted hunting and killing stormwals within the bounds of the Sanctuary, to the outrage of locals. [Crusader Security](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/bmNrmYB8MP-crusader-security) has increased its presence in the area as a deterrent to further attacks.

START-->Der Stormwal ist ein warmblütiges Wirbeltier, das auf [[Crusader (Stanton II)]], [[United Empire of Earth|United Empire of Earth (UEE)]] heimisch ist. Er wurde 2855 entdeckt, als drei Arbeiter, die die Providence Platform für die [[UEE Navy]] zusammenbauten, von einem Sturmwal aufgeschreckt wurden, der aus den Tiefen der Atmosphäre des Planeten aufstieg und sie dazu brachte, einige ihrer Werkzeuge fallen zu lassen. Der Sturmwal ist das größte bekannte Tier mit der Fähigkeit zu fliegen.
== BESCHREIBUNG ==
Manche Sturmwale können bis zu 100 km lang werden, wenn sie ausgewachsen sind. Sie sind meist rosagrau gefärbt, haben schillernde rote Flossen und ein leicht gestreiftes Fell mit goldenen Flecken. Es wurden auch schon tiefblaue Sturmtaucher mit blaugrauen Flossen beobachtet. Sie haben eine lange, spatenförmige Schnauze und vier Augen, zwei auf jeder Seite des Kopfes. Vom Kinn und von der Stirn gehen vier lange Stacheln ab, die zusammen mit den Fäden an den Brust-, Rücken- und Schwanzflossen dazu dienen, die winzigen elektrischen Felder von Aeroplankton und Kiami, ihrer Hauptbeute, zu spüren. Vier weitere verlängerte Flossen ohne Borsten befinden sich links und rechts am Bauch des Sturmwals. Sechs Nasenlöcher auf beiden Seiten der Schnauze und zwei riesige Hohlräume direkt hinter dem Kopf saugen Luft an, die im Inneren von speziellen Organen destilliert wird, so dass sie nur noch Helium und Wasserstoff enthält, die dann zum Füllen der inneren Flugblasen verwendet werden, mit denen der Sturmwal den Flug aufrechterhalten kann. Überschüssige Luft wird ausgestoßen und neue Luft wird nach Bedarf aufgenommen.
== VERHALTEN UND ÖKOLOGIE ==
Erwachsene Sturmtaucher müssen täglich zwischen 1000 und 1500 kg Aeroplankton, Kami, kleine Schwimmer und andere Tiere fressen. Bei der Jagd arbeiten sie mit ihren Schoten zusammen und fliegen im Kreis, um die Beute in die Mitte eines Luftwirbels zu treiben. Die Sturmtaucher schwimmen dann abwechselnd auf die gefangene Beute zu und nehmen große Schlucke Luft, bis sie gesättigt sind. Einzelne Sturmschwalben fressen oft, indem sie in Wolkenformationen tauchen, die dicht mit Aeroplankton bevölkert sind.
Elektrizität ist für den Lebenszyklus der Sturmschwalben lebenswichtig. Um zu kommunizieren, sei es, um zu signalisieren, dass eine Nahrungsquelle gefunden wurde, um nach Partnern zu suchen, um Jungtiere zu rufen, die zu weit von ihren Eltern weggeflogen sind, oder einfach nur, um sich aneinander zu binden, senden Sturmschwalben über große Entfernungen Stromimpulse zueinander. Bei der Balz webt jeder Sturmschwalbe ein kompliziertes elektrisches Muster und sendet es an seinen potenziellen Partner. Dieser Vorgang kann mehrere Tage dauern. Wenn einem der beiden Tiere das Muster nicht gefällt, trennen sie sich voneinander und suchen sich woanders einen Partner.
Die Fortpflanzung der Sturmvögel ist eine koordinierte Angelegenheit. Da sie lebend gebären und Sturmwale nicht landen, muss ein Sturmwal in den Wehen von einem oder mehreren anderen Sturmwalen beobachtet werden. Wenn die Böe aus dem Muttertier schlüpft, fängt einer der beobachtenden Sturmwale sie auf und lässt sie ruhen, damit sie Zeit hat, ihre inneren Lufthöhlen langsam zu füllen. Böen, die nicht aufgefangen werden, sind in großer Gefahr, in den Tod zu stürzen. Wenn die Böe endlich schweben kann, wird sie zu ihrer Mutter zurückgebracht, wo sie sich an ihre Brustdrüse klammert und satt wird. Das Säugen ist bis zu zwei Jahre lang seine Hauptnahrungsquelle.
== IN KULTUR ==
Die Einwohner von [[Orison]] betrachten den Sturmwal als Symbol ihrer Stadt. Eine große Sturmwal-Statue mit dem Titel "Until Then" des Künstlers Biphasha Zhu steht im Cloudview Center, und das offizielle Maskottchen der Stadt, Finley der Sturmwal, kann in Plüschform in den örtlichen Geschäften gekauft werden. Besucher/innen von Orison können Touren zum nahe gelegenen Stormwal Sanctuary buchen, wo sie versuchen, einen Blick auf die Tiere in ihrem natürlichen Lebensraum zu erhaschen.
In den letzten Jahren wurden Wilderer beim Jagen und Töten von Sturmvögeln innerhalb des Schutzgebiets gesichtet, was die Einheimischen sehr empört hat. Die [[Crusader Security]] hat ihre Präsenz in dem Gebiet erhöht, um weitere Angriffe zu verhindern.{{Quelle|url=https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/RX34BjN2NK-stormwal|title=Galactapedia Stormwal|date=23.02.2022|access_date=23.02.2022|ref=true|ref_name=galactapedia}}<!--
