Whitok
The Whitok are one of the major species of The Rookie Universe.
History
The Whitokians were originally from planet Whitok, however similar to planet Ionath the planet was saturation bombed by the Sklorno. In 2524, during the First Galactic War, the Sklorno sent fifty dense projectiles at near light speed. The projectiles struck the surface of the planet with enough force to puncture the planet's core and blast out the other side. This incredibly violent act killed all life within thousands of miles from both the entry and exit points. The shock to the planet was enough to destabilize the molten nickel and iron core causing massive tectonic movements on the surface of the planet. Whatever life which had survived the impact, would die in the upcoming years as volcanic activity and massive quakes would rock the surface of the planet for decade. Poisonous gases filled atmosphere rendering the planet uninhabitable. It would be seventy-five years before the surface would regain even moderate stability. It was estimated that perhaps another five-hundred years might be necessary for the crust to become completely dormant. Planet Whitok is now home to the Quyth who were able to successfully settle the planet as well as defend Whitok during the Creterakian takeover.
Physiology
