The Classification System

by Gary Louie

James White's Sector General stories used a unique four letter

classification system that helped describe the species quickly and

effectivly, as one would require when the hospitol is a multi species

enviroment.

Gary Louie was working on a James White concordance. As part of that he

completed a classification system, for the sector general series which

covers all characters up to Final Diagnosis.

This article appeared in the White Papers. Unfortunatly Gary Louie passed

away, before the concordance was completed.

Classification:AACL

Planet:Unknown

Species:Crepellian Pet No Individual Names Known

A non-intelligent pet kept by AMSOs. It has six python-like ten-tacles which poke

though seals in the cloudy plastic of its suit. The tentacles are each at least twenty feet long

and tipped with a horny substance which must be steel-hard.

Classification:AACP

Planet:Unknown

Species:Name Unknown No Individual Names Known

A race whose remote ancestors were a species of mobile vegetable. They are slow

moving, but the carbon dioxide tanks which they wear seem to be the only protection they

need. AACPs do not eat in the normal manner but plant themselves in specially prepared

soil during their sleep period, and absorb nutriment in that way.

Classification:AMSL

Planet:Unknown

Species:Creppelian, Crepellian

Individuals:Nurse Towan, Diagnostician Vosan

A species of water breathing octopoids.

Classification:AMSO

Planet:Unknown

Species:Name Unknown

No Individual Names Known

A larger life-form, in the habit of keeping non-intelligent AACL-type creatures as pets.

Classification:AUGL

Planet:Chalderescol IT

Species:Chaldor, Chalder

Individuals:Patient AUGL-1 13, Patient AUGL-1 16, Patient AUGL-122, Patient

AUGL-126, Patient AUGL-187, Patient AUGL-193, Patient AUGL-211, Patient AUGL-218,

Patient AUGL-22 1, Patient AUGL-233,

Muromeshomon

The denizens of Chalderescol, an armored fish-like species are water-breathers who

can not live in any other medium for more than a few seconds. A heavily plated and scaled

being, slightly re-sembling a forty-foot long armour-plated crocodile, except that instead of

legs there is an apparently haphazard arrangement of stubby fins, and a heavy knife-edged

tail. A fringe of ribbon-like tentacles encircles its middle, projecting through some of the only

openings visible in its organic armor. Chaldors have six rows of teeth in an over-large

mouth. The Chalders are one of the frw in-telligent species whose personal names are used

only between mates, members of the immediate family, or very special friends.

Classification:BLSU

Planet:Groalter

Species:Groalterri

Individual:Hellishomar the Cutter

The Groalterri overall body configuration is that of a squat octopoid with short, thick

tentacular limbs. Its central torso and head seem disproportionately large. The eight limbs

terminate alternately in four sets of claws (that will with maturity evolve into manipula-tory

digits) and four flat, sharp-edged, osseous blades. The organ of speech and hearing is

centered above the four heavily lidded eye that are equally spaced around the cranium. A

macrospecies, there is an element of risk involved to any life-form of more or less nor-mal

body mass which approaches it too closely.

Classification:BRLH

Planet:Tarla

Species:Tarlan

Individuals:Surgeon-Captain/Trainee/Padre Lioren, Sedith and

Wrethrin the Healers

Tarlans are an erect quadrupedal life-form with its for short-legs supporting a

tapering, cone-shaped body. Four long, multi-jointed, medial arms for heavy lifting and

handling sprout from waist-level. Another four that are suited for more delicate work encircle

the base of the neck. Equally spaced around the head are four eyes whose stalks are

capable of independent motion. Tarlans have very large teeth. An adult Tarlan stands eight

feet tall.

Classification:CLCH

Planet:Unknown

Species:Name Unknown

No Individual Names Known

Apparent typographical error for Classification CLHG.

Classification:CLHG

Planet:Drambo

Species:Roller

Individuals:Camsaug, Surreshun

The Rollers resemble animated donuts rolling on their outer edge, with manipulatory

appendages in the form of a fringe ofshort ten-tacles sprouting from the inner circumference

between the series of gill mouths and eyes. Its visual equipment must operate like a

coeleostat since the contents of its field of vision are constantly rotating. The Rollers must

roll to stay alive-there is an ingenious method of shifting its center of gravity while keeping

itself upright by partially inflating the section of its body which is on top at any given moment.

The continual rolling causes blood to circulate-it uses a form of gravity feed system instead

of a muscular pump. The species reproduce hermaphroditically. Each parent after mating

grows twin offspring, one on each side of its bodies like continu-ous blisters encircling the

side walls of a tire. Injury, disease or the mental confusion immediately following birth could

cause the parent to lose balance, roll on to its side, stop and die. The points where the

children eventually detach themselves from their par-ents remain very sensitive areas to

both generations and their posi-tions are governed by hereditary factors. The result is that

any close blood relation trying to make mating contact causes itself and the other being

considerable pain. The rollers really do hate their fathers and every other relative. The
