The Calipha of Asimidiske (Dagudashaag 0828) are a Jovionoid Minor Non-Human Race. They are technologically primitive sophonts or proto-sophonts.

History & Background (Dossier)

The Calipha are from the Asimidiske system; specifically the gas giant Cuauhtemoc rather than the mainworld. This currently lies in Amec Trade Protectorate space.

In 304, the semi-intelligent Calipha (or skimmers as they are sometimes known) were discovered three kilometers down in Cuauhtemoc's atmosphere. Due to extreme difficulties in establishing contact within a gas giant atmosphere, several research bases were set up in mined-out craters on the moon's surface. Several large research stations were in time dedicated to studying the Calipha, funded by non-Protectorate academic foundations.

In 1033, the Domination finally admitted that the Calipha were one of their geneered sub-races that had lost their intelligence for reasons they refused to explain. Attempts to persuade the Domination to recontact the Calipha have so far been ignored.
