Encyclopedia Galactica: Worlds of the United Planets
Envoy
Like many other member worlds of the United Planets, the story of Envoy begins on Earth. In the year 2317, the coastal nations of the Pan-African Union and the North American Trade Coalition had been in a state of constant tension with the Free Cities of the Atlantean League.
Treaty forbade the various bodies of nations from entering within 200 miles of the claimed territory of the other, but the fact that some of their territories were adjacent to each other, without even 200 yards as a buffer, led to an endless series of tense border situations, ranging from disputes over overfishing, disposal of waste, espionage, smuggling and piracy.
An ill-conceived Atlantean plan led to the surgical implantation of Atlantean neural tissue into the brains of several hundred cetaceans, mostly dolphins, but also several pods of orca, and a family pod of blue whales, for use as organic ‘surveillance drones.’ Tapping into the limited telepathy shared by many Atlanteans, as well as the latent ability that some few Atlanteans possessed to extend this telepathy to various forms of marine life, it was intended that the donors of the neural tissue, when seated and fastened to special helmets that vastly enhanced their telepathic sensitivity, would be able to communicate with the implanted neural tissue, allowing them to perceive what the surgically-enhanced cetaceans were seeing, and, to a limited extent, direct their movements, to influence them into swimming into areas in which coastal nations were violating various treaties. They could not only see what their unwitting spies were seeing, but even record these images, and after a year of information-gathering in this manner (carefully editing out any imagery that might serve to highlight *their own* indiscretions and violations of treaty…), the Atlanteans presented 450 hours of footage to the World Quorum, showing over a dozen coastal nations engaging in various egregious violations of treaty.
No amount of careful editing could disguise the angles of view, and it was quickly confirmed that the Atlanteans had been using sea animals as spies. At first, it was believed that they had mounted cameras to them, but the truth of their surgical experimentation on these cetaceans (itself a violation of international treaty, particularly in regards to the protected blue whales), and the scheme backfired on the Atlanteans, as various coastal nations began regarding any suspicious activity by sea life in their waters as ‘proof’ that the Atlanteans were spying on them, and, on one shocking event, caught on tape and broadcast around the globe, a series of rocky outcroppings temporarily inhabited by a colony of breeding seals was shelled, leading to hundreds of the animals being slaughtered. (As the Atlantean project had never worked with seals, the destruction of these animals turned out to be nothing more than ‘collateral damage.’)
The Atlanteans scrambled to disavow the project, and its leaders were ordered to recall all of the modified animals, to be surgically ‘fixed’ and returned to their pristine state, or, barring that, to be destroyed.
Unknown to the Atlanteans, the neural grafts they had implanted had reacted to their extensive use over the years’ time. Each time an animal was contacted and given new direction, or it’s visual cortex stimulated to enable it to transmit images back to the receivers in Atlantis, the tissue expanded, and had relatively swiftly grown to interconnect with the entire brain of the affected animals, turning it into a hybrid of cetacean and Atlantean neural tissue, hopelessly interconnected, and utterly incapable of being surgically removed. This growth led to a sharp increase in the intellectual capabilities of the affected animals, and research conducted much later indicated that the dolphins were roughly equivalent to an Atlantean child in mental capabilities (although they tended not to ‘test well’ and it is believed that they were potentially smarter), the orca were at least as intelligent as an adult Atlantean (and displayed particularly powerful memories) and the blue whales, despite also ‘not testing well,’ were generally agreed to be several times smarter than an adult human or Atlantean.

Recognizing that they were being recalled home to have their newfound intellects stripped away (or, more likely, to be destroyed), the blue whales surprised their Atlantean ‘handlers’ by turning the telepathic tables on their helmet-wearing ‘controllers,’ and seizing control of their minds, forcing them to destroy all of the helmets, and severing all contact with their Atlantean ‘masters.’
The modified cetaceans rode the powerful Atlantic currents first towards the coastline of North America, then towards northern Europe, attempting to avoid Atlantean craft sent to eradicate them, any thought of attempting to surgically ‘fix’ them abandoned by the panicking Atlanteans, now more interested in covering up their treaty violations than saving the their former test subjects. And yet, many Atlanteans were shocked and offended to discover the nature of these activities, and protest groups assembled in several Atlantean cities, in some cases confounding Atlantean efforts to track and eradicate the animals.
Still, a rogue pack of smarter-than-average cetaceans had no true hope against the technological forces of the Atlantean military, and they would have been exterminated in short order, if not for an Atlantean sorcerer and his half-dozen acolytes catching up to the fleeing cetaceans first. The sorcerer awakened within their newly Atlantean brains the capacity for aquakinesis, the psionic manipulation of water, latent within their donated neural tissue, giving the cetaceans one more advantage, to buy them time. The majority of the dolphins and orca gained only the weakest manifestation of aquakinetic talent, which was still sufficient to allow them to shape the water flowing across their skin, allowing them to accelerate their speed underwater as if frictionless, and to trap a small quantity of air against their skin, allowing them to remain underwater for longer than normal, without having to surface for air. The blue whales mastered that technique, and more, and when the first Atlantean scout vessels reached them, proved able to throw torpedoes off course or cause them to explode by manipulating the water in front of them, which allowed them, with the sorcerer’s help, to repel the first strike, as they moved into the cooler waters of the northern polar region.
The sorcerer had guided them to this point, where the Earth’s northern magnetic pole served as a powerful conjunction of ley lines, and from which he could tap into the power of the Earth itself for a magical working so audacious that the Atlanteans would never see it coming.
The blue whales gathered their prodigious wills to assist the sorcerer and his apprentices in their seemingly-impossible task, and they sought out the proper target for their spell, mindful of the Atlantean craft closing in. The criteria were simple, a place with oceans compatible to their needs, with life that could sustain them, and with no intelligent life which could threaten them (or be threatened by their sudden arrival). The divinations proved successful, and they began singing forth a vast portal, a magical doorway through space that would take them to the new home they had envisioned.
Aware that the spell would require the full concentration of the aquakinetically potent blue whales, the orca decided amongst themselves to do what must be done as Atlantean craft came into view, and all but two of the male orca (and a half dozen overly excitable dolphins) surged forth to engage the Atlantean attack force, often unable to directly harm the larger craft, but more than adequate to bloodily engage smaller craft or Atlantean soldiers who lacked the cover of an attack craft. As the Atlantean attack craft tore through the lines of defending cetaceans and opened fire upon the ritual, attempting to put a stop to whatever energy was building on their scanners, the surviving orca of the defensive lines hurled their bodies in the way of the missiles, giving their lives so that the whales could complete the ritual, and transport their females to safety.

On Earth, the shockwave that followed the ritual’s completion was officially said to have destroyed all of the remaining cetaceans, and the Atlanteans claimed that they had saved the world from whatever disastrous event they had planned.
On Envoy, the name chosen for the new world that the cetaceans and their sorcerous Atlantean allies had found, a dozen blue whales, thirteen orca, and twenty seven dolphins had arrived in the storm-tossed blue seas of a world that was 92% ocean, and utterly lacking in sentient life.
Soon after arrival, it was discovered that, even had the blue whales not broken the control of the Atlantean helmets, the orca had their own plans, and had intended to sire a new generation of calves who would be free of Atlantean control, and keep them secret, sending them away to spread their potential through the seas of Earth. The male orca had given their lives to save the females of their kind, because each and every one of them was pregnant. Of the thirteen orca that survived to reach Envoy, ten were pregnant females, one was a male who had been so badly damaged during a previous encounter that he was unable to fight and was tasked to remain with the females, a second male was the most powerful aquakinetic among the orca, and deemed too important to risk (an opinion that enraged him, as he wished to fight, and had to be restrained by several of the others to keep from charging into the fray with the other males) and an unexpected third male was pushed through the closing portal by a nearby explosion, and was as surprised to have survived as the rest of the orca were to see him again.
The blue whales gently corrected the orca as to the flaw in their plans. The neural tissues had been implanted surgically, and the changes would not pass on genetically to their offspring. They would be the only generation of cetaceans with enhanced intellects, telepathic potential, or any sort of aquakinetic ability.
The sorcerer chose that moment to disagree, offering them a chance to have their DNA modified to incorporate the neural tissue, allowing their children to inherit their unasked-for gifts. The orca agreed immediately. The dolphins bickered. The great whales argued that perhaps it was for the best that they be the last generation to be so altered from the way that the sea had made them, while others suggested that it would be a terrible cruelty to raise children that would be as animals to them, not merely a cruelty that they must bear, but that their children would also bear, being just intelligent enough to know forever what terrible disappointments they are to their parents, like a generation of cripples. Once the blue whales came to consensus to accept the magical merging of their DNA with the Atlantean donor tissue, the dolphins quickly fell in line, happily barking their enthusiasm, and the sorcerer worked his last great spell, cementing the gift for intelligence, telepathy and aquakinesis into the bloodlines of the 52 cetaceans who arrived on Envoy.

The orca, per their original plan, had intended to strike off on their own, with pods of orcas, pods of blue whales and pods of dolphins all living as they had on Earth, as separate species. The blue whales quickly realized with their vast wisdom that this could lead to disaster, and instead, the twelve blue whales, six male and six female, divided into six mated pairs, each inviting a small number of orca and dolphins to swim with them, forming racially mixed pods. The orca chose to respect the wishes of the great whales, so long as they remained close enough for ease of travelling back and forth between pods, as they had only three males to serve as mates for the ten females who had travelled through the portal. The dolphins, agreeable as always in the face of a decision made by others, accepted without precondition.
And so the pods of Envoy almost always consist of a mated pair of blue whales, two or three mated pairs of orca (who also mate for life, now that their numbers have stabilized, and males do not have to swim from pod to pod from year to year) and a dozen or so dolphins (who have no concept of monogamy, and rarely remain with the same mate for more than a week). Adult dolphins occasionally switch pods when two pods meet, always looking for a new experience (and new partners), but orca and blue whales remain constant. Sociologists studying the mixed-race pods of Envoy note that the strongly traditional nature of orca monogamy seems to be a visceral reaction to the casual profligacy of the dolphins, which they find distasteful, and it is speculated that, if there were no dolphins on Envoy, the local orca would likely be far less ‘stuffy’ about such matters…
Orca and dolphins born within a pod tend to remain until a year after a blue whale is calved. At this time, the young adult blue whale sets off to find a mate and form a new pod, and any orca or dolphins that have been born in the last year or two join them, along with a few adult dolphins who are simply ‘looking for a change.’ These ‘half-pods’ tend to gather in certain pre-arranged waters, thought of as ‘meeting grounds,’ where they are more likely to meet other half-pods, also looking for a partner to complete their pod.
The blue whales of Envoy appear to have no concept of ‘marrying for love’ or ‘compatibility’ or ‘shared interests.’ When an unattached male and an unattached female meet, it is almost unheard of for them to not immediately form a new pod together, and spend the rest of their lives together. Once joined together, ‘divorce’ is equally unheard of, although a blue whale that survives the loss of a partner will travel to the same waters it once frequented as a juvenile, and bond with a much younger partner as readily as it did as a juvenile. For their part, juveniles who encounter such an older single potential mate tend to consider themselves quite fortunate, and eagerly seized the opportunity to bond to a more experienced partner.
Just as divorce is unheard of among blue whales, marriage is unheard of among dolphins. Even if a pair of dolphins spend decades together and prefer the others company in all things, both parties will still casually mate with other dolphins.
Orca occupy a middle position between these extremes. They prefer to mate for life, and take their devotion to their partner very seriously, remaining monogamous throughout their partnership. They do not simply choose to spend their lives with the first opposite-sex partner they find, however, unlike the blue whales, but often spend days socializing with, flirting with and ‘getting to know’ a prospective mate. Also unlike the blue whales, orca can and will divorce a partner, and it can most commonly occur as a result of reproductive incompatibility, but, more rarely, from simply finding each other impossible to live with.

The vagaries of biological reproduction being what they are, almost every breeding season results in an unequal number of potential partners among the slow-breeding blue whale population, resulting in either a ‘leftover’ half-pod, or a pair of half-pods that consist of two female juveniles, or two male juveniles.
Once two same-sex juvenile blue whales confirm that there are no opposite sex partners available this breeding season (breeding seasons occur roughly every two years), they promptly bond with each other. The blue whales of Envoy are emotionally and psychologically ill-suited to spending any significant part of their lives alone, and the option of remaining alone for a year or more, waiting for the next generation of juveniles, is incomprehensible to them.
In later seasons, most same-sex pairs (but not all) travel once again to the meeting grounds, hoping to find an opposite sex juvenile willing to join their pod as a third member, and allow them to reproduce. This is one of the few cases where a juvenile might refuse a potential pairing, as such triple relationships are difficult, and are the only blue whale relationships that don’t always ‘work out’ and may result in one of the partners abandoning the pod. Still, some are willing to enter into such an arrangement, and some pods seem to be able to get past the difficulties of such a relationship. Unique to same-sex female pods, they may skip the idea entirely of adding a male third on a permanent basis, and simply travel every breeding season to the meeting grounds, and attempt to persuade a currently-unattached juvenile male to fertilize them, before sending him off to find an unattached female and form his own pod. Dolphins are known to make many salacious comments about this practice…
‘Leftover’ half-pods are the most likely to find themselves with little other option than to join a same-sex pod from a previous season, and also the least likely to ‘work out,’ as they feel that they had ‘no other choice’ than to join the same-sex couple. In other rare cases, a ‘leftover’ might return to his birth-pod and remain with them until the next breeding season, although such a situation appears to be psychologically analogous to having one’s forty-year old son move back into the house, for both the parents and the child, and can prove unhealthy to the child (who may grow increasingly dispirited and unwilling to return again to the meeting grounds to establish his own pod), and stressful to the parents (and their own relationship).
For their part, orca don’t put up with that sort of thing, and will aggressively chase off a child that attempts to ‘return home.’ The second most common cause of orca ‘divorce’ (after reproductive incompatibility) is bitter and accusatory fights over whose fault it is that a child is not living up to the parents’ expectations...

Blue whales are particularly gifted in linguistics, philosophy, music, art, sociology, psychology and mathematics, particularly abstract mathematics. They have little interest in machinery or technology, and the vast majority of cetacean innovation and development occurs entirely within their prodigious minds, in the form of rigorous and thorough thought experiments. Orca are particularly skilled in matters of law, ethics, psychology and sociology, but are less inclined to delve into the more abstruse theosophical and spiritual and mystical matters than are the blues. Dolphins are sarcastically said (by the orca) to be ‘good for nothing,’ but are keenly skilled at social interactions and communications, observation and analysis, and make incredibly gifted (and popularly successful) writers, artists and directors of news programming or fictional media.
The blue whales dominate cetacean society on Envoy, and the pod structure is vastly more common than any other social arrangement. There are packs of dolphins that do not participate in the pod structure, although it is more correct to say that, at any given time, there are hundreds of dolphins that are currently ‘between pods,’ either en route from one to another, or spending a season travelling with other dolphins who are ‘taking a break’ and socializing exclusively with their own kind. Orca, on the other hand, have a strong sense of racial pride, which, in some cases, can turn to racial supremacy. Several orca-exclusive pods exist, but they are currently regarded with suspicion, as one such pod devolved so powerfully into supremacist thought that it became a ritual requirement for any orca seeking to join this pod to ‘prove his superiority’ by killing and eating of the flesh of a dolphin. They managed to avoid discovery for two seasons before gaining in numbers (and courage) and choosing to prove their collective worth by eating a whale, travelling into the ‘meeting grounds’ to find an unattached juvenile, and setting upon him en masse. The juvenile orca accompanying this juvenile whale were horrified by this barbarity, and fought to defend him, along with mostly futile attempts by the attending dolphins. An adult dolphin fled in the confusion and brought the parents of the attacked juvenile to the scene of the attack. The juvenile had indeed been slain, and the parent’s pod tracked the attacking orcas relentlessly, calling out for any other pods in the area to join them. The orca were no match for the fury of the parents, two adult whales, at the height of their power, being more than a match for the orca who had devoured their child, backed by the equally outraged orca of their pod, who had also lost children in the attack.
Remaining orca-exclusive pods understand very well that they are ‘on probation,’ and that any sign of such supremacist deviance will lead to an end to orca independence, entirely (and that the majority of their own orca people, proud members of mixed-race pods, and utterly shamed by the actions of the ‘cannibal pod,’ will be at the forefront of any action against them).
The final non-native inhabitants of Envoy are the Atlantean/human descendents of the sorcerer and his acolytes, who increased their numbers over the centuries through a very slow process of accepting immigrants (who, per the dominant cetaceans request, are limited to an extremely small number, so that, nearly seven centuries later, there are less than six thousand humanoids living as citizens on the planet, although the number is closer to ten thousand, counting tourists, guest researchers, UP/SP personnel and those on temporary visas). The natives are primarily of mixed human/Atlantean heritage, with some ‘Atlantean enough’ to be able to breath underwater, or possessed of limited telepathy, but the vast majority having so little Atlantean DNA remaining after centuries that they have little more than a racial proclivity for swimming. To compensate for such a disadvantage, on a world defined by its oceans, most natives of Envoy have at least some genetic engineering to enhance their ability to swim, hold their breath, process salt water, and remain in the water for an extended period of time without ill effect. Many specific sub-cultures exist, scattered around the various mountainous island chains that make up the 8% of Envoy that isn’t covered in water, and each has their own distinctive customs, often enhanced by bio-engineering, such as scaly patterns on the skin, colorful patterns, decorative fins, spines in place of hair, etc.
A small percentage of this humanoid sub-culture possess aquakinetic gifts, similar to those of the great whales, and these ‘Water Witches’ are regarded as almost priestly figures by the locals, said to be a spiritual link between the cetaceans of Envoy and the humanoids descended from the original sorcerers who opened the great portal. The whales are known to prefer to interact with the humanoid citizens of Envoy through these Water Witches, lending support to this assumption.
The Water Witches are the only humanoids on Envoy who can safely display a specific genetic alteration, the presence of stark black and white countershading on their skin, like the patterns on an orca’s body. Orcas, race proud as they are, are known to react with violent displeasure to anyone other than a Water Witch displaying this sort of coloration.

The native inhabitants of Envoy are primarily fish, crustaceans and flying reptiles. The fish tend to be flat, like rays, or long and slender, like eels, and some of the predatory specimens are a threat even to a lone whale, but rarely to a pod. The crustaceans exist as bottom feeders, more nimble free-swimming specimens (similar to shrimp, although closer in shape to horseshoe crabs) and land-dwelling many-legged horrors of great size that clamber about the islands, feeding on the eggs of the four-winged lizards that rule the skies (and are generally quite skilled at maneuvering underwater, for brief jaunts, when they dive for prey). The orca and dolphins find the local fish (and crustaceans, and, when they can catch them, flying lizards) tasty and ‘fun to chase,’ while the blue whales are equally satisfied by the flavor and abundance of the local micro-flora and micro-fauna, strained from the rich warm equatorial waters. There is no native mammalian life on Envoy, which has, by most standards, a fairly homogenous biozone, prompting little room for evolutionary innovation.
Like most aquatic ecosystems, the sun is the source of all life, and single-celled plants that thrive on sunlight serve as the first link in the food chain. The seas of Envoy are relatively shallow, compared to those of Earth, although what abyssal trenches exist are said to be the homes of terrible creatures that no cetacean has dove deep enough to see. Two moons orbit Envoy, one about 50% larger than earth’s moon, and looming large in the sky, orbiting at a sedate pace, and a second smaller moon that orbits faster, and passes in front of the larger moon three or four times a year.
Somewhat mollifying the United Planets, which would prefer to be able to migrate far more people to the surface of Envoy than the cetaceans allow, the larger moon has been opened up to settlement, and has a pair of domed cities, one facing away from the planet, and serving as a regional transport hub, and the other facing towards the planet, and containing an ‘artificial sea’ four miles across, and hundreds of feet deep, in which dolphin entrepreneurs, artists, directors, screenwriters, comedians, performance artists, actors and producers work in Envoy’s version of ‘Hollywood.’ Even the busiest media moguls spend only half a year in this home-away-from-home, and the lure of the open ocean is too powerful for them to resist, and they return to swim in the boundless ocean in the ‘off-season.’
No blue whale or orca has yet travelled off-world, despite multiple invitations to return to Earth for a state visit or special welcoming ceremony, and Water Witches are typically sent to represent Envoy in off-planet venues, such as before the UP High Council. There has been some chatter among the mixed-pod orca about ‘encouraging’ the all-orca pods to emigrate to the seas of some other world in the United Planets, where, in the words of one orca matriarch, ‘they can finish degenerating into savages, without tainting our waters with their presence,’ but the great whales counsel patience.
The blues remember songs that the orca have chosen to forget, songs of hard times over the centuries, of strife and uncertainty far beyond these latest unfortunate events, and they remind the orca that this too shall pass.
Even the most gregarious dolphin or patient blue will agree on one thing, despite the presence of Atlantean-blooded descendants among their honored Water Witches, and that is that they will not permit an enclave or embassy from the New Atlantean Empire upon their world. The NAE is a member of the United Planets, despite claiming no single world as its own, being spread out across the oceans of seven member worlds, including Winath, Cargg and Rimbor, among others.
Using a system of mystical portals they call ‘Tidal Pools,’ that open once a month and allow transportation to their undersea enclaves on distant worlds, from their central transportation hub at the very same nexus of ley lines on Earth’s northern magnetic pole that the cetaceans of Envoy used to escape them so many centuries ago, the NAE charges a high premium for use of their arcane network for transportation of goods or people. At different points of the year, different worlds become accessible, each only once per year, for about eight hours, and the NAE would love to be able to add Envoy to their list of possible destinations (and, eventually, have enclaves on twelve strategically-located worlds, so that no month goes by without an opportunity to take advantage).

Thanks!
One thing I like about the 30th/31st century is that one can write up stories about stuff that happened long after the 20th/21st. Sure, the Legion started out as a spin-off of Superboy, with teens inspired by his legacy, but there was a thousand years *between* Superboy and the Legion, and it's fun to explore some stuff that happened in that huge 'secret history' that's been lying mostly untapped all this time.
Plus, a water-world run by sentient whales and dolphins? What's not to love about that?
The idea that Atlantis still exists in the future, but could be spread across the oceans of a dozen or more worlds, also seems like a logical progression.
And not just Atlantis, taking advantage of the oceans of many colony worlds. Every solar system probably has gas giants like Jupiter and Saturn, inhospitable to humanoid life, but perhaps inhabited by another species (like the Hyrkrains or Gil'Dishpan). Every solar system has a sun (sometimes more than one!), and there's potential for energy / plasma creatures to live in those, as well. It would be cool if the United Planets included multiple types of otherwise incompatible life-forms, or, alternately, if the gas giant dwellers or the aquatic races or the creatures that live in suns had their own 'united planets,' hopelessly intertwined with the UP (since they share systems, and, in some cases, possibly even worlds) and mostly avoided contact with the air-breathers!

What I don't like about the 30th/31 century is how DC tends to act as if there isn't a millennium between them.
I guess I never got over Alien Invasion, when suddenly alien races from the 30th century (like Khunds and Dominators) were revealed to already be spacefaring in the 20th. Seems to me that once civilizations are spacefaring they're progressing pretty rapidly, and their tech should be wholly different after 1000 years.
But hey, that bugs me about the Star Wars timeline too.

I so agree! It was such a head-scratcher that the Dominators, whom the 30th century had *just discovered* were retconned to not only a publically-known threat 1000 years ago, but suggested to be responsible (through the meta-gene activation and the seeding of metahumans across the galaxy) for the existence of Braal, Cargg, Titan, etc.
And the Khunds spent the last 1000 years going from space-faring Klingon knockoffs in the 20th century to space-faring Klingon knockoffs in the 30th century? Losers!
Invasion! caused me agita. <shakes fist at the sky> GIFFEN!!!

However, we've had several Crises since then, so please tell me Alien Invasion is long out of continuity.
Though I didn't follow dotLEGION, seemed from what I vaguely recall they continued this problem.
