This OXP adds an enigmatic alien race to the Ooniverse. These aliens fly gigantic, weird-looking spaceships and trade, as they say: "in information, sometimes esoteric, but always accurate".

Inspired by a charecter found in Paul Neurath's Space Rogue (Origin 1989).

Overview

The mysterious Baakili value information above all else, so only a few select items of usual trader cargo is accepted. The rumours of sentients dropped near GalCop stations in remote systems with certain period of their lives erased from their memories are yet to be confirmed.

Finding one and Trading

If you have an Advanced Space Compass, Baakili Nav Buoy is shown as U.

To initiate trade procedure, approach from behind - when you're close enough, you'll be transported to the trading area.
