On the first picture is a Ceresian. They are race from dwarf planet Ceres, that got on board of S.S. Heart accindentally.

Ceresians are on the brink of extinction because of the asteroids that collided with Ceres. In one night at least five space rocks fell on the surface of the planet, which would be problem for any race, not even considering the fragile anatomy of Ceresians.

Ceresians are 60-70 cm tall, have big eyes that allows them to quite well see in the dark. Even though they are able to survive limited dose of cosmic radiation, it’s really ease to hurt them. Their body looks like it’s made from stone, but it’s extremely fragile and can crumble like chalk when wounded.

They are skilled in many ways, so find some work could be easy for them. The problem is that on S.S. Heart they are secretely. No Martian can know about their precence on the ship. Actually, not much of inhabitants of the ship knows about them and who do, they think Ceresians are supposed to be on the ship. Due to that, Ceresians do anything they can – they are thieves, cleaners... There’s only few of them, so they all are living in one house at the most distant place of the ship. The only race that seems to accept them without problem are Encedusilans (it’s hard to tell). It’s unknown how long they can live, but they probably got on the S.S. Heart when it was already traveling to it’s final destination.

Particularly this Ceresian on the picture is called Ardesia (”Desie” for short). She’s one of the few Ceresians that survived catastrophe on their planet. Supposedly since that day, no one ever heard her talking. The others thinks that maybe her neck got cracked when the rocks started falling from the sky, but they don’t know for sure. She is always wearing her scarf, which was present from her brother who unfortunately didn’t survived the catastrophe. She’s communicating in sign language or (when it’s necessary) by writing.

 On the second picture is Gravitoin. Beings from the core of the galaxy. They live in close proximity to black holes in the centers of galaxies. There isn’t much things known about them. Their size is from 0,5 meters to 4 meters. Their bodies looks like thick black smoke or piece of fabric in wind (it waves). There actually more myths than real because they were seen only few times, when probably quasar throw one of them into other part of the galaxy. Unfortunately this one Gravitoin ended up colliding with exploration ship and completely destroyed it, before dying. That was because they are adapted to live in extreme gravity of black holes and in any other place they fall apart. But their body produce strong gravitational field that destroys anything that comes in contact with them (like the ship mentioned before). Nothing else is known about them. But there is few people, that have a theory. If around black holes lives Gravitoins, it means that if theory about white hole is true then around it can something live too. They call it “Antitoin.“ But this is just myth from minds of people who believe in white holes.
