Not much is known about these mystical creatures said to prey on the Purrgil and ships within the hyperspace lanes that traverse the Galaxy, only myth and legends of who or what they are. In fact, most cultures associate them with the Aurora Borealis that typically are seen in the northern atmospheres of most planets, shimmering lights of green, purple, and blue depending upon the planet's sun. But what are the Adaru truly, and where did they come from? This is a mystery as old as time it's self and many variants span to explain what they are. Photo of possible Adaru emerging from Hyperspace Few have claimed to see the mystical creature, random occurrences either while in Hyperspace or charting courses, but what tales that are told tell of a beautiful and yet terrifying serpentine creature that emerges from and back into hyperspace within the length of its body, leaving behind a fading crackle of storm like activity. There are notes of it chasing the Purrgil, whale like creatures known to frequent tales of the spacers, so it is theorized that Purrgil are it's main source of food. And yet, despite the records and lore about this creature, there are no true evidence of its existence. No remains have ever been found, but there are other known creatures of elongated lifetimes and even some that never seem to age at all. Nor have any true photographic proof ever been brought to light. To most, they are but superstitious legends or ramblings of mad spacers. But that isn't to say there is no fact to this myth, as most myths are somewhat based in reality in some form or another. Perhaps it's simply a event that has yet been touched upon concerning the mysteries of what Hyperspace truly is. Perhaps the Adaru really do exist. There is no evidence to the contrary no more than there is evidence to support its existence. And yet the Adaru are creatures based in lore found in almost all technologically advanced races, whether religiously or mythical, descriptions almost identical. Surely this no coincidence. - Excerpt from Imperial Librarian Geoffrey Bourne's Maddening Mysteries
