OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION
Kytrand Mollusks were, like many species in the world, genetically engineered by the Bloodscrawl Medical Corporation to increase profit margins. Able to survive in salt or freshwater, each bringing changes to the size and color of pearls, as well as changes to the meat, Whoever controls access to these creations is potentially rolling in credits. Bacta-Works has taken control of their creation and harvesting, distributing meat and gems across Alliance Space.

- Name: Kytrand Mollusk
- Designation: Non-Sentient
- Origins: Kytrand
- Average Lifespan: Average of seventy years
- Estimated Population: Planetary
- Description: They began life as small chalk white clams only to increase in size while very rarely changing color
- Breathes: Water
- Average Height of Adults: Varies
- Average Length of Adults: Varies
- Skin color: None (Inner clam meat is pale-pink)
- Hair color: None
- Distinctions: Starting out in small clusters that eventually break off from each other in the ocean, they start off being the size of your palm to eventually potentially being the size of a land speeder. A small node in it's center regenerates all the meat that eventually gets harvested slowly, as well as restarts the the pearl/nacre production in it's innards once they have been harvested and suitable materials are placed within to restart the pearl harvesting process
- Races: None
- Force Sensitivity: Rare (The rare clams that are force sensitive are set aside, as their pearls can be made into Kytrand Dusk Pearls )
- Harvest friendly: Genetically engineered to increase size quickly, so that the amount of meat or pearls recovered is always the highest possible
- Repeat harvest: The clams are genetically engineered to regenerate their meat and nacre/ Kytrand Pearls from a single living organic node within the center. As long as it gets a steady stream of debris, the node is healthy, and meat and gemstones can be repeatedly harvested from a single clam over its life time, making large examples the sea equivalent of "Cash Cows" every three months
- Money maker: It's meat can be consumed by virtually any species and it's pearls are often of extreme quality to the point they can be refined as weapon lenses or just simple jewelry
- All Waters: Genetically Engineered to thrive in both fresh water and salt water environments with the type and color of pearls it produces changing depending on what kind of water it's immersed in.
- Toxin vulnerable: The Clams are much more vulnerable than other mollusks if poisoned
- Sudden temperature changes: While it can endure the occasional unexpected increase or decrease, exposing them to too sudden and great a temperature change could put one in shock and kill it
- Meat spoils easily: The meat must be harvested, packed and stored away within hours of being taken from the clam. The difficulty of transporting it without spoiling it makes it a potentially expensive delicacy
- Diet: Omnivore
- Communication: None
- Technology level: None
- Religion/Beliefs: None
- General behavior: They basically spend their lives passively eating organic debris from the oceans/lakes of Kytrand, or basically wherever introduced waiting to be harvested for their meat and pearls
