ArtistAnthropomorphic lobster standing on its hind legs. Its claws are in the same position as a human's arms would be.There is a second, smaller set of arms below those with smaller pincers. Its hind legs are roughly the same proportion to the body as a human's. The creature is blue and white in color. The tail trails behind the body, ending in a fluke. Turn the creature so that it is facing the viewer. Make the picture look photorealistic.
The Loperians are the only aquatic sentient species humanity has encountered thus far. The encounter was illegal and conducted by a faction of humans who sought to enslave the Loperians, who were at a level of technological and social development roughly equal to that of Earth's Roman Empire. However, the Human/vehKhanim Alliance intervened and recognized the rights of the Loperians to their homeworld, Lopas.
The increased oxygen level and lower gravity of Lopas allows these crustaceans to grow to nearly human size. They can survive outside water for extended periods of time, but not indefinitely, and must use self-contained travel pods for stays on land of more than a few days. They are ferocious fighters and very quick learners, and are on track to develop their own interstellar capability after only a few decades of human contact. However, there are some Loperians who resent their natural development having been derailed, wondering what great geniuses and prophets of their own were lost due to outside intervention.
