Article Theme/Topic: The Chiilaks

General Information Body Paragraph: 

Chiilaks were six-limbed marine mammals native to the oceans of Misnor's glacial regions. During the Empire , the hunt for the Chiilaks, popular for their valuable furs, was supported by the state. As a result, their population decreased so much that they became an endangered species.

History/Background Body Paragraph:

The Chiilaks evolved on the moon Misnor in the Outer Rim of the Galaxy . At the time of the Empire, a population of over 100 million individuals had formed there. Their fur was a sought-after product on the galactic market, for which interested parties paid a high price. Therefore, Chiilak fur became Misnor's most important export product. Although xenobiologists petitioned the Imperial Governor of the Moon to impose stricter regulations on the hunting of chiilaks, the prevailing hunting industry remained unregulated because the administrator supported the local fur producers' association and did not want to jeopardize the world's economy. Due to constant hunting, the population shrank to less than 3 million within 25 years. The population figures were estimates, as the polar regions of Misnor are sparsely populated and largely unexplored. In this area, xenobiologists researched strong hunting-related behavioral changes in aquatic mammals. On a research trip to the polar regions of Misnor, Jio Gihal encountered a Chiilak. He later refused to reveal information about the animals' possible whereabouts to a group of hunters.

Additional Information Body Paragraph:

Due to the constant persecution, the animals in turn developed aggressiveness towards intelligent species and increasingly attacked Imperial settlements.
