Bat’s plan is to make it look like Medulla’s tech is systematically failing. Step one is to have Beans use the Command Console to slow Sepidious’ heartrate. But first the team needs to deal with Cabalists who are clogging up the heart sector.
Pandalus is a Prawn working for Medulla. He attacks your team because he refuses to undergo another one of Medulla’s ‘Job Expectations and Responsibilities’ mind-meddlings. After his defeat he thinks it best to leave and never acknowledge that your team was there. He was in his bunk studying his Expectations and Responsibilities Handbook.
Pandalus (cold-water prawn) is a genus of shrimp in the family Pandalidae. Members of the genus are medium-sized and live on or near the seabed. Some species are the subject of commercial fisheries and are caught by trawling. One species, Pandalus montagui, lives in association with the reef-building polychaete worm, Sabellaria spinulosa.
Their lifespan is typically three to five years, with sexual maturity being reached at an early age. Members of this genus are protandric hermaphrodites, starting life as males and later becoming females. Reproduction takes place in the spring when up to 3,000 eggs are produced and fertilized internally. The female carries them around under the abdomen for about six days before they develop into planktotrophic larvae. These remain in the plankton for four to six months. During this time, they drift with the currents and have a dispersal potential of at least 10 km (6.2 mi) The shrimp have a rapid growth rate, so populations can build up quite rapidly after disturbance or habitat destruction.
The current list of all the (known) Empyrea references can be found here.
Although I am well versed in Pop Culture references but I do not claim to have caught them all. Let me know your favorites in the comments and if I’ve missed one you caught, let me know so I can add it to the list.
