The Tale of the Aiwha Pod

"The Tale of the Aiwha Pod" was a Kaminoan tale translated into Galactic Basic Standard from the Kaminoan language by Ryan Kaufman. It was a story on why the aiwha species ruled the oceans of the planet Kamino and were respected by all creatures of the world.

The protagonist of the story was a god-beast named Protas, considered to be both the most powerful beast and ruler of the oceans. His claim for rule was challenged first by a titan of the deep, Melkorr, then by the sentient and legion kikla. He defeated both sets of challengers and became arrogant in his old age. In such a mind-set, he prevented a pod of aiwha from fleeing winter, requesting they return to the increasingly cold northern waters. The creatures realized they would die if they complied with the unreasonable request and fought Protas, defeating the god-beast only when one of their own sacrificed himself.
