Mudworm of Milzaaar

Mudworm of Milzaaar

Milzaaar was the Shiss equvalent to Green Hell.

Of course not as extreme, but still a world covered with jungles and swamps. Sweltering temperatures and dangerous life forms.

It was one of the planets where the Yellow Throats simply dumped a few thousand Purple Throats along with simple tools and marginal supplies; with the Order colonize and tame the world. Reap its treasures and give it to us.

One of the terrors encountered by the Purples was the Mudworm. A five ton aggressive, fast and strong worm like predator. The worms decimated the first wave of colonists and neither the second or third fared any better. The fourth wave managed to carve out a primitve little settlement in the mountainous northern continent, conditions weren't much better but the Mudworms did not go there.

Milzaaar was one of the 33 Purple Throat Colonies that became a Union world.

With Union help and BoCA assistance, Milzaaar became a more developed place, but was still marginal compared to the others. It was discovered that Mudworm was considered a delicacy by several Union species and a clever Purple Throat using a BoCA development grant and special customized S-20 robots to create a Mud Worm farm. He opened a slaughter house and a packing plant. Another Shiss built a tree top lodge and advertised Mudworm hunting as an adventure for hunters from all across the Union.

Mudworms are 5-6 tons and grow to 25 meters. They are fast, have strong claw mouths and react to the smallest tremors and vibrations,
