HISTORICAL INFORMATION
In the distant past, the Veldorians needed a way to travel due to their allergy to most of the universe’s metals. So, they decided to create a ship. Via the use of their own techniques and sciences, they were able to create a tree that they could use as a ship. The ships they made lacked weapons systems at first. Yet, when the Bryn’adul attacked, the 150 who managed to escape decided they needed something more combat based when they found a new world to settle down on.
When they found their new home, the two portions of their species decided they would create a weapon both of them could utilize. So they mutated the Unrooted, adding the ability to shoot the collected energies out of “Vents” they added that would allow them to project the energies outward as beams of energy that were the equivalent to TurboLaser batteries on the trees. This wasn’t the only change they created to the Unrooted, however.
Their work on the species continued, and they added additional features to the Unrooted as well, making restrictions so they couldn’t use the species for war as they wanted to live through the madness the galaxy was suffering. Time passed, and their planet was discovered by the Bryn’adul. They fled in the ships and 150 of them managed to get away. Now they have found a new homeworld, and continue their alterations to the Tree Ships, the Unrooted.
Upon discovering a seed, a lone solitary seed of the Unrooted, Taji has made his own efforts to create Tree Ships or Unrooted of his own. This was done by him from studying the Biots employed by the Yuuzhan Vong in the distant past. Further studies into Bio Tech led to him deciding to include genetic material from Force Sensitive Trees in order to make the Unrooted better than they had been in the past. From the union of the Biots of the Yuuzhan Vong, and the Force Sensitive Trees, the Second Generation of Unrooted were born.
When it is about to space travel, the Unrooted forms it's "Ship Form" by rearranging the branches to become a "Ship". The branches also grow "Fruit" that attracts the Purgil, and then the branches latch onto it, sending electrical currents into the Purgil to convince it to go wherever.
When these were made, Inspiration was taken from the ships of Zonama Sekot, the Biots used by the Yuuzhan Vong and any other organic spaceships to exist. These were researched, and the information gained was combined to become the Unrooted.
The Unrooted collect water from planets when they are "docked" on the world, as well as atmosphere. This is stored inside them until the ship takes "Flight" at which point the water and nutrients are used to fuel the tree. The tree when in orbit collects Sunlight from planets which it uses as an energy source in addition to the Lightside of the Force.
- Intent: Correcting the distinct lack of organic ships that are not Vong. Make the Species that will serve as the basis of the ship for two characters who for whatever reason can't operate regular ships. Also, to give a literal tree ship.

- Name: The Unrooted
- Origins: Was made by the Veldorians in the distant past. One was discovered by Jake Ateris, and another was discovered by Taji Nelson. Taji mass produced the ship.
- Other Locations: The trees can thrive in Mountains, Hill Tops, and Fields. They wouldn't fare well in volcanic locations, swamps, or similar.
- Classification: Tree
- Average Growth Cycle: When the tree starts out as a sapling, it takes it roughly a year to grow to the full height. After that, each of them will live for 1000 years. This is done by use of growth accelerants and the like to speed up the growth of the ship. When the tree dies, it shoots all sorts of spores across wherever it is, growing more of the Unrooted.
- Viability:
The ship requires the energy of the Lightside of the Force as a form of sustenance. It also needs plant nutrients, and sunlight. It needs clean water. It needs at least 300 Gallons of Water, and 30 Feet of Clean Soil. It requires 10 Gallons of Plant Nutrients. It needs enough sunlight to power a small town with solar panels.
- Description: A white or gold tree that either is a sapling, or towering over anyone in the area. The trees have golden fruit, as well as brown fruit. The brown fruit is food for the Purrgils, while the golden fruit is fruit for Force Users. The Trees sometimes gain markings which show who the owner of the ship is.
- Average Height: Up to 1,000 Feet.
- Average Length: Up to 500 Feet.
- Color: White,
- Nutritional Value: On the exterior they grow pods that can release gas that attracts the Purrgill and gets them to take the tree ships wherever they want to go. They also grow fruit that is edible to humans and other similar species. It tastes like Pineapple, and has a complete nutrition for humans, providing all they need.
- Toxicity: The fruit that is grown for the Purrgill is highly toxic to any species except them, and is to be avoided.
- Other Effects:
The other fruit also helps the user regenerate their Force Energy at a rapid rate, and helps injuries heal faster as well. It immunizes them against most easy to cure diseases. - Distinctions: The Trees have "pools" inside them that have electricity generating Fish inside them that they channel the electricity of in order to control the Purrgil.
- Can't turn off most of the ship systems: The ship's systems are organic, and thus most can't be turned off by EMPs or Slicers.
- Self Aware: Each of the trees is self aware.
Edits: - Hyper Advanced Photosynthesis: This collects Sunlight and Cosmic Energies. This can be used as a weapon, or as a way to propel itself. Granted, this would need some time to recharge.
- Telepathy: They can telepathically communicate with those inside it.
- They can also grow fruit, and manipulate their branches, and the like.
- Terrified: The ship has a phobia of termites and beavers. It is also afraid of Herbicide. It will either attempt running away at first, or if that isn’t possible shooting ship weapons at the source of Herbicide, or Beavers.
- Needs Solar Energy: It needs Solar Energy. It needs enough energy to power a small town.
- It needs Plant Nutrients. It needs at least 50 Gallons for each trip.
- Over Charging: Over Charging could kill the Tree Ship. It will need to spontaneously fly off or shoot something if it overcharges. This would require the energy of a large town to overload it.
- When landing the tree needs at least 30 Feet of Dirt due to the enormous root system it has.
- Exhausted Power Supply: Should the ship exhaust it’s power supply, it will grow a sort of protective amber cocoon around it, and go into stasis.
- Tree Weaknesses: This has the weaknesses of Trees; Fire, Acid, Rot, Etc.
- The Dark Side of the Force: As the ship relies on the Light Side partly, this is vulnerable to the Dark Side. The Dark SIde of the Force would be cancerous to the tree, and cause the Unrooted it's inside to die.
- Edit: Link to Owner: Should the Tree Ship's owner die, the Tree Ship would also likewise perish.
- Without the Light Side of the Force, Nutrients, and Sunlight along with Fresh Water, the Unrooted could only last a day.
- Unwilling to Kill: The Tree Ships are generally unwilling to allow their owner to kill using them.
Mixed Strengths / Weaknesses:
- Simple Controls: The controls of the ship are far simpler than what would be the controls of say a Tie Fighter or most modern ship. To pilot, your hands will be stuck in a kind of "goo" and then you move it to move the Tree when it is in ship mode.
- Link to Bio Eels: The Unrooted are linked to Bio Eels, drawing extra power from them to power the defense systems of the ship. Should the Bio Eels be killed, it would cause the tree no small amount of damage.
