I'd sneak a peak at Thargoid's Aquatics - load up and visit Aqualina/Ribiara in G3. And then when you've had a good gander, see what comes to mind...
(First time firing up the Miner Cobra for a while.)
I'll have a look at that - my pilot happens to be in G3 at the moment.
The updates site seems to be down ?

I understand that pretty much every oxp has a download link on the relevant wiki page


Aqualina is one of the great undiscovered/unpublicised surprises in the game.

The Horta from Star Trek (original series) - basically sentient mobile silicon rocks. Also appear in some Star Trek novels, and (in diagrams on screen) in later series. I did think they were also in the animated series but apparently not.

The Daleks (Dr Who) - did any of them ever get personal names (or numbers)? I don't think so.

Okay … can we get five stories (film, TV, book etc.) where an important part of the story takes place on a moon - EXCLUDING Luna, the Earth's moon. For clarity, by "moon" I mean any non-artificial satellite of a planet which is sufficiently large enough to land on and walk around on. The moons can be real or fictional.

Usual rules: one answer per author/universe. The same moon can be reused, though, if it's used as a focus for stories by different authors/series/films.
