Hammerheads didn’t really mate as we understand that process. The male of the species was a small, jet-black slug-like thing, with six eyes, which apparently never left its larval stage. What I have described thus far, was the female of the species. Their genus name, “Noviseva” means “strange Eve”, and refers to their most shocking biological trait. Like the human brain, hammerhead brains apparently have two distinct halves, but unlike with the human brain, these two flat, square-shaped halves are separated almost a foot apart from each other. They used their “gill-noses” to speak in stereo with a mix of bass-heavy voices and infrasonic frequencies. Their mouth consists of a diamond-shaped, vertical beak, sheathing a slit-like mouth filled with teeth. Their common name derives from their T-shaped heads their faces consist of two wide-set clusters of three eyes, arranged as upside-down triangles six gill-like silts which they use to breathe and hairs lining the edges of their “hammers”, which they apparently used to hear. Their “arms” are configured into long, skinny, muscular legs and their “legs” are configured into shorter, low-set arms both the arms and legs are comprised of three segments, connected by two sets of elbows/knees. They were apparently endothermic, viviparous, with calcium-based skeletons, and had most of the same organs humans do.only different.Ī hammerhead’s body is pear-shaped, and they stood about 7’ 6” on average. Upright bipedal posture, two arms, two legs, hands (albeit with two fingers and four opposable thumbs). In many ways, they were strangely “humanoid”. And their corpses were found in various states of decay or preservation. The great race of Delta Pavonis was christened the “hammerheads” (Noviseva sapiens). The colonists were about to make their new homes in the graves of another civilization. There were many signs of intelligent life, in the form of megascale engineering and the abundance of terraformed planets, but no signs of the mysterious builders and terraformers. Of course, the individuals who were simply brains with prosthetic bodies didn’t have that very cathartic moment, but still.īut it wasn’t long into the celebrations when the sheer scale of how _wrong_ Delta Pavonis was, became impossible to ignore. Apropos for their bodies to be rendered blank sheets of paper, since they were here to start over around a new sun. The colonists were frozen for so long, the cyrolide sapped them of their pigment, rendering their skin, hair and eyes bereft of color.

The very first journey to Delta Pavonis was made by the ISV Sojourner and took twenty years to ferry 500,000 people in cryosleep, 1,500 AI’s and 2.3 million surplus embryos, using a ten-mile long antimatter rocket accelerating the craft at around 90.2% the speed of light, at maximum velocity. However, it wasn’t until the 2130’s that the first humans arrived in Delta Pavonis. In the end, it was decided in the 2010’s to go with a mix of both. When naming the planets around Delta Pavonis, there was an argument as to whether to go with a naming scheme rooted in Western esotericism or to name the planets after humanistic, philosophical and psychological concepts. They were smaller than the mind-bogglingly large structures around Kapteyn, so it wasn’t until 2028 that the first ringworld was confirmed around Delta Pavonis. Over time, the picture around Delta Pavonis started getting clearer and clearer, until eventually the megastructures themselves were sighted. What was more shocking was that there were apparent signs of intelligent life.but there were no radio signals coming from Delta Pavonis. So when peculiarities were also confirmed around Delta Pavonis in 2001, it was not THAT surprising. Humanity was surprised when microbes were found on Mars in 1979 were a bit more surprised to find complex, large animals living under the ice of Europa in 1995 and the discovery of megastructures around Kapteyn’s Star shocked the world in 1998. While regarded early on as a good candidate for ET life, it wasn’t until the Dark Side mega-telescopes on Luna gave humanity higher-definition images of the system, that its true nature was revealed. The eyes on a peacock’s feathers are also regarded as symbolic of the all-seeing omniscient God, and in Christian symbolism, the peacock represents immortality. Fun fact: the peacock in some cultures is regarded as a symbol of the cosmos, with the many 'eyes' on its tail representing the vault of heaven dotted by the sun, moon, and stars. It is the third star of the constellation Pavo, also known as “The Peacock”.

Delta Pavonis is a G-type yellow star located 19.92 light-years from Sol.
