Fit-Ka-Lau-Kittau of the Plikik State for Chief of Public Information.
Everybody is probably wondering who and what these Plikik things are. Well, Plikiks are pink crustaceans hailing from a somewhat shallow and flat water world. They were discovered by the Goonals roughly 250 years ago. It was first contact for both races.
Back then, the Goonals were decidedly less sensible and peaceful as a whole, having finished their fifth World War some 60 years prior. The discovery of the Plikik actually spurred an international effort on the Goonals' part and eventually led to the formation of the UGP, which was possibly one of the best decisions Goonalkind has ever made.
Nowadays, the Plikik are living peacefully throughout the UGP, and have an autonomous government holding sway over their home system. The Plikik State relies on the UGP for military protection and economic aid, though.
The Plikik are very similar to Goonals in mentality, and share much in common. They can hold full citizenship in the UGP, and are a minority there. Fortunately, there aren't any specialized job fields in which Plikiks are exploited; they're shorter than Goonals and can survive in shallow water, so that doesn't really make them specialized for anything Goonals or robots can't do. Plikik discrimination is extremely rare and punishable by law. This may sound a bit too perfect, but keep in mind that it took 250 years to get to this point.
Yes, I hope to make a new Goonal thread. Yes, information about the Plikik will be included if I ever get around to making the thread. Yes, I have had the Plikik planned out for some time now. And singular is Plikik, plural is Plikiks, and the species is the Plikik.
