Nano-star

A nano-star is a strange alien droid inhabiting the seas of Dac.

It is clearly artificial in origin, although its microcircuitry is water-sealed and its purpose a mistery. It is flat and pentagonal in shape, half a meter in diameter. From each of its five corner five small metallic tentacles appear, although they are not used to move; nano-stars propel trhough water with a number of flexible screws.

Nano-stars do not appear to eat. They protect themselves by zapping an electric current through water if they feel threatened. Nano-stars are assumed to be able to construct new nano-stars, although this process has never been witnessed. However, several million nano-stars probably exist by now on Dac seas.

The first appearance of a nano-star took place on the seas near Foamwander City, soon after a colossal metallic sphere descended from the sky to drop something on the ocean and then vanished again. The fish-catchers netted the first nano-star ever after this had took place. The origin of the UFO is not explained and, as for now, experts are still confused.
