#4. NAME- Snick (Hard Back)

WORLD- TeGor Farmany (Wave Mother).

LENGTH OF ORBIT- 382 days.

GEOGRAPHY- Acquatic. Less than half of one per cent land. The rest broad, deep oceans.

PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION- About two feet tall and about eight inches across. Strongly resembles an Earth shrimp, except upper arms have developed oposing fingers that enable them to use tools. Highly intelligent, and developed an extensive culture, but lacked technical devices until first contacted by The Mora.
Now they share worlds with The Mora and The Squiggle and other races tending their acquatic industries. Where they live in the water they are the perfect underwater workers and are highly sought after.

POLITICAL SYSTEM- Tribal democracy. Local officials are elected and sit in council and elect the next higher officials who, in turn, elect the next officials. With each local election there is a space on the ballot for all officials rather they should stay in office or not. If any official receives too many negative votes, he resigns and a new official is elected, as elections come every four years. A poor leader does not usually last long.

RELIGION- Ancestor worship. The Snick faith is so much like our own faith of Spiritism it is hard to find any differences. That is why The Galactic Community has recruited Snickan telepaths to communicate with me, as I have been turning telepaths of other races into religious fanatics!
The Snick aren't bothered by me at all, and though they are a vastly different species seem far more able to convey what I am trying to tell The Galactic agents than anyone else.
