Akeed Synopis
The Akeed are a gregarious race of four-tentacled monopods (skiapodes), well-known throughout the Domain of Gateway as excellent mediators and diplomats.

The Akeed stand about 75.0 cm tall and weigh, on average, about 25.0 kg.
The rest of the body consists of a cartilaginous case for the brain and minor support for the rest of the organs.

Akeed Trophics
The Akeed are scavenger/reducers and feed on bacteria, nutrients, and decayed matter as they move over the ground. These are absorbed through the foot. The Akeed move slowly on their single foot, but is strong enough to support them even on near vertical surfaces.
The Akeed supplement their diet with minerals drawn directly from soil and water, and appear to be as happy living under the water as on the land.

The world of Akeen is a water world environment (100.0% hydrographics), and is covered with several large islands and numerous island chains.
Akeed History

Currently the Akeed control the Akeena Union, a group of worlds in the Gateway Sector.
