Species Classification

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.

file:///F|/rah/James%20White/White,%20James%20-%20Sector%20General%2007%20-%20Code%20Blue%20Emergency.txt

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

file:///F|/rah/James%20White/White,%20James%...neral%2007%20-%20Code%20Blue%20Emergency.txt (2 of 131) [5/21/03 10:29:05 PM]

file:///F|/rah/James%20White/White,%20James%20-%20Sector%20General%2007%20-%20Code%20Blue%20Emergency.txt

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 fa-thers and every other relative. The species

is water-breathing with a warm-blooded oxygen-based metabolism. The

life-support mechanism for the species is physically complicated, to

allow the occupant to roll naturally within it. The concept of

modesty is com-pletely alien to this race. This species does not

know the meaning of sleep. There is no such thing as sleeping,

pretending to be dead or unconsciousness. A Roller is either moving

and alive or still and dead.

Classification:CLSR

Planet:Unknown

Species:Name Unknown

No Individual Names Known

Apparent typographical error for Classification CPSD.

Classification:CPSD

Planet:Unknown

Species:The Blind Ones

No Individual Names Known

These beings are roughly circular, just over a meter in diameter

and, in cross section, a slim oval flattened slightly on the

under-side. In shape they very much resemble their ship, except that

the ship does not have a long, thin horn or sting projecting aft or

a wide, narrow slit on the opposite side which is obviously a mouth.

file:///F|/rah/James%20White/White,%20James%...neral%2007%20-%20Code%20Blue%20Emergency.txt (3 of 131) [5/21/03 10:29:05 PM]

file:///F|/rah/James%20White/White,%20James%20-%20Sector%20General%2007%20-%20Code%20Blue%20Emergency.txt

The upper lip of the mouth is wider and thicker than the lower, and

can be curled over the lower lip, apparently sealing the mout shut.

The beings are covered, on their upper and lower surfaces and around

the rim, by some kind of organic stubble which varies in thickness

from pin-size to the width of a small finger. The stubble on the

underside is much coarser than that on the upper surface, and it is

plain that parts of it are designed for ambulation. The Blind Ones

evolved underground, and have no organs for sight. They formed an

alliance with the Protectors of the Unborn, each species providing

something that other lacked.

Classification:CRLT

Planet:Unknown

Species:Name Unknown

No Individual Names Known

Senior Physician Conway was unable to classi~ this life-form with

complete certainty. The initial analysis was performed on a cadaver,

an independent portion of a larger composite being. The compos-ite

is a warm-blooded oxygen breather with the type of basic me-tabolism

associated with the physiological grouping CRLT. Even a segment is

massive, measuring approximately twenty meters in length and three

meters in diameter, excluding projecting append-ages. Physically it

resembles the DBLF Kelgian life-form, but it is many times larger

and possesses a leathery tegument rather than the silver fur of the

Kelgians. Like the DBLF's it is multipedal, but the manipulatory

appendages are positioned in a single row along the back. There are

twenty-one of these dorsal limbs, all showing evidence of early

evolutionary specialization. Six of them are long, heavy, and

claw-tipped and are obviously evolved for defense since the being is

a herbivore. The other fifteen are in five groups of three, spaced

between the six heavier tentacles, which terminate in four digits,

two of which are opposable. These thinner limbs are ma-nipulatory

appendages originally evolved for gathering and trans-ferring food

to the mouths-three on each flank opening into three stomachs. Two

additional orifices on each side open into a very large and complex

lung. The structure inside these breathing ori-fices suggests that

expelled air could be interrupted and modulated to produce

intelligence-bearing sounds. On the underside are three openings

used for the elimination of wastes. The mechanism of reproduction is

unclear and the specimen shows evidence of p05-sessing both male and

female genitalia on the forward and rear extremities respectively

The brain, if it is a brain, takes the form of a cable of nerve

ganglia with localized swellings in three places, running

longitudinally through the cadaver like a central core. There is

another and much thinner nerve cable running parallel to the thicker

core, but below it and about twenty-five centimeters from the

underside. Positioned close to each extremity are two sets of three

eyes. Two are mounted dorsally and two on each of the forward and

rear flanks. They are recessed but capable of limited extension;

together they give the being complete and continuous vision

vertically and horizontally. The type and positioning of the visual

equipment and appendages suggest that it evolved on a very

unfriendly world. The tentative Classification is an incomplete CRLT

This species shows their teeth in a silent snarl when displaying

amusement or friendship and make an unpleasant barking sound that

denotes amusement. The sound, called laughing, in most cases a

psychophysical mechanism for the release of minor degrees of

tension. An Earth-human laughs because of sudden relief from worry

or fear, or to express scorn or disbelief or sarcasm, or in

re-sponse to words or a situation that is ridiculous, illogical or

funny, or out of politeness when the situation or words are not

funny but the person responsible is of high rank. The Earth-human

voice is reputed to be one of the most versatile instruments in the

Galaxy. The Earth-human DBDGs are the only race in the Galactic

Fed-eration with a nudity taboo, and one of the very few member

spe-cies with an aversion to making love in public. The Earth-human

DBDGs make up the majority of the Monitor Corps forces.

Classification:DBDG

Planets:Etlan Empire, Central World (Capital), Imperial Etla

(Capital), Etla, Etla the Sick (Colony)

Species:Etlan, Imperial

Individuals:Heraltnor, Imperial Representative Teltrenn

The physiology of the citizens of the Empire is the same as the

population of their colony Etla. The physiological resemblance is so

close to Earth-human DBDGs that no other disguise other than native

language and dress is needed. There are theories about a prehistoric

colonization program by common, star-travelling an-cestors. Attempts

at procreation between Earth-human DBDGs and Etlans have been

unsuccessful.
