Tarc precursor species
A species of primitive sea-dwelling creatures evolved on the planet of Hjaff with in the Colonies. Originally living in the planets oceans the species was eventually forced to move onto land. Once on the land the species gradually moved further away from their original ocean home as they evolved, moving deeper into their homeworlds large desert regions. In the deserts the species would eventually evolve into the sentient Tarc species.[1]
Behind the scenes
