The Prai Hypoo CY-C b3-1 system is located in the Temple region, 12,167.15 LYs from Sol.
It is the 19th survey candidate system in the original Canonn Challenge route, and was visited on day 28 of the Chronicles Expedition.
Expedition objective: scan and catalogue Blatteum Bell Mollusc

Expedition Journal
The Bell Mollusc is a non-sapient, spacefaring creature that is aptly named based on it’s shape which also includes distinct linear patterns on it’s underside. The tentacles at it’s base reportedly feed off starlight and convert it into chemical energy. The mollusc appears to have little to no desire to move unless forced to do so as a result of being struck by another object. The tentacles appear to have a bioluminescent quality to them and were noticed pulsating in bioluminescent intensity at a consistent and predictable interval. The Blatteum variant of the Bell Mollusc has a dark green exterior with predominantly white and pink highlighted tentacles. During the observation period, no other noticeable traits were identified.
Due to their relative small size, compared to other notable stellar phenomena, these mollusc can be easily missed. A slow ship velocity and reliance on the scanner control panel readings from your ship’s sensor suite are strongly recommended to locate these organisms.
During the survey of the system these other features were observed
Note: The date and location of the codex entry shown above may differ from that listed as the expedition objective for this Canonn Challenge system. The Codex records the first per region encounter for each organic structure a commander discovers. Some encounters occurred prior to the creation of the Canonn Challenge event.
