Octopi

octopi

There are worse things than death. We do not want to become what we were never meant to be.

The Octopi are one of the True Alien species encountered by the Alliance.

One of two intelligent species that originated on a planet (later nicknamed Amity) of the star Theth-129. The Octopi are the only species remaining, following the deaths of the Small Ones. First contact was with Alysha Forrest and the UAV Stardancer.
