A nominally sessile lithomorphic example of the class Kaiju.

Morphology is highly variable even within an individual from one observation to the next. There is a propensity for surface area maximization as is indicative of Rugaforma (although this classification is disputed), structural durability, low albedo and impermeability.

All of these features have been observed to be absent in R. Concordica individuals in rare instances and lack of one or more cannot guarantee accurate classification.

Surface features often have (but not always) extremes of refraction in all wavelengths which can lead to misclassification with G. Periculumercator or a related species.

Is commonly accompanied by its client species N. Troglodici and is closely associated with it.

There are Numerous behaviours that have been observed from R. Concordica included but not limited too:

Have been observed to spontaneously generate N. Troglodici when none are available within the environment and conditions would suit the client species. Have been observed budding new individual R. Concordica and/or inert decoys/active facsimile. Have been observed fusing with/cannibalizing other individuals and/or inert decoys/active facsimile. Have been observed performing sacrificial eusociality or suicide for N. Troglodici populations or other organisms, species or ecospheres. Have been observed performing ecogenesis for organisms unrelated to N. Troglodici. Have been observed culling N. Troglodici populations or other organisms, species or ecospheres. (Even those created by that specific R. Concordica). Communities of N. Troglodici have highly variable memetic associations with R. Concordica depending on the population.

Other species have also imitated N. Troglodici and/or developed similar dynamics to a R. Concordica.

Any apparent structure that appears to be a R. Concordica in such a community is possibly an active facsimile or inert decoy depending on the situation. This should be considered a possibility even if there is substantial corroborating evidence contrary to it.

Especially if there is corroborating evidence not cryptosigned by a deity of Imperial authority in control of more than fifteen star-hallows.

When motile R. Concordica or its active facsimile are capable of flexing at any point in their tissues or expelling material at high velocities both in attack, defense, acceleration or any combination thereof.

These should not be confused with comparable behaviour of other Kaiju or those observed previously in an individual or the species. Atomic structure and energetic profile of these emissions is highly variable and tunable by an individual R. Concordica or facsimile.

Individuals and Facsimiles can also induce critical atomic interactions in any point of their tissues as well as shape, cleave or otherwise subdivide their tissues arbitrarily to construct many forms of artifacts or molecular assemblies.

R. Concordica and their active facsimiles should be assumed to have access to any technological tools it is possible to construct within the limit of their individual energy budget.

They may not make use of them even unto total destruction but this does not mean they could not have.

R. Concordica are extremely diverse in their diet. With observations of them (or active facsimile) subsisting on numerous imbalances for harvesting metabolic energy including: thermal, chemical, electrical and of course as in all kaiju atomic fission decay and the resultant products. While not confirmed for this species, extrapolating of other Kaiju it is likely that while they can gain energy from other sources, fissile materials are preferred and unavailability leads to malnutrition, but is not lethal.

All observations of lethality from malnutrition of this kind in R. Concordica to date have turned out to be false.

R. Concordica and their active facsimile are extremely cosmopolitan in range but otherwise quite rare.

Due to the species’ reclusive behaviour and their ability to subsist on thermal differentials they are most reliably found embedded in the abyssal zones of reef substrate where they will form highly diffuse colonies.

When identified these colonies have been observed to remain stable if otherwise undisturbed by predators, competition or reef structure instability. All long standing observations of a R. Concordica colonies to date have either witnessed such a disruption or the sponsoring organization has ceased to exist for unrelated reasons.

Due to the remoteness of their most common habitat it is far more common to find evidence of R. Concordica several steps removed then to witness or engage with one directly. However this risks misidentification of completely unrelated memetica or even parasitic polisivore organisms.

This indirect influence tendency is also not universal. R. Concordica have been found in Polity of all sizes to varying degrees of prominence and also as members of crew aboard trade ships or as members of reef wall caravan populations.

They are for varied reasons ostracized when found in Low to High Urban polity. Reports as to why are diverse but generally their reclusive and manipulative nature is given. This leads to their classification as pests or otherwise disruptive effect to the functioning of all urban polity.

This incompatibility is believed to be why R. Concordica mass migrations will occur in otherwise accommodating polity as a prelude to that territory’s rise to success. But as with everything relating to the species these actions cannot be considered consistent or wholly predictable.

They also have been observed to mass migrate out of polity which are imminently going to be the epicenter of an extinction bubble.

They have equally been observed to remain and either weather the extinction bubble or succumb to it.

As a whole R. Concordica are manipulative and viewed by many species to be borderline if not completely amoral. Interestingly even among N. Troglodici this sentiment has been observed.

Due to all of these factors accurate Identification is highly problematic and many false flags should be expected even among experienced and well backed expert systems and organizations in the field.

Suspected identifications of the actual physical location of an example of R. Concordica or its influence should be given even odds of being a ruse or decoy by R. Concordica unless it is verified by the authority of an Empire or Organization controlling at least Fifteen Stellar Hallows.

When isolated the computational and energetic output capabilities of a single R. Concordica should be in theory tractable and manageable for even sub polity populations and organizations.

An individual is only capable of causing a 1 vs 1000 disparity for five to ten external seconds in temporal discontinuities via directed processing. This can extend up a range of four meters from its surface.

This capability regardless of R. Concordica laws and restrictions put their living tissue in the category of controlled or forbidden substrates within developed regions and Polity that have inhabitants or equipment with sensitivities to such effects. However this effect is triggered by the organisms for reasons that are yet unknown.

Energetically individual R. Concordica are comparable to other species in the class Kaiju for their mass and are notable for having a novel but highly unstable reso-chemical storage system for storing their metabolic reserves long term.

This reso-chemical decays rapidly into a liquid solution of highly unstable radioactive elements containing but not limited to Plutonium, Uranium, Potassium and several other heavy metals.

Without active metabolic processes this decay will occur almost instantly and can cause immediate criticality if the individual does not arrange its internal structure to avoid it beforehand.

Individuals often do this but it is not certain.

Given the above while potent and undeniably a dangerous life form a single R. Concordica would be expected to be well within the means of even poorly defended ports to manage with local militia or even citizen vigilantism.

However it should never be assumed that an isolated R. Concordica is acting solely on a plan devised only by that individual or is only benefiting from its own resources.

All examples of R. Concordica actively coordinate with all other examples of the species and any theorized but yet undiscovered/uncreated examples of the Regiis genus are believed to be included in this cooperation.

While communication of truly novel information still must be transmitted between individuals by either resonance or other means and can be prevented by keeping them out of proximity of each other or any shared means to provide messages to each other their coordination is retained despite extensive attempts to subvert it through false stimulation/environmental conditions.

Their use of data payloads for other R. Concordica is believed to be a factor that complicates proper isolation but even when all physical matter and processing systems involved have been rendered uniform and sanitized there have been instances of apparent communication.

This cooperation is believed to be caused by a genetic integration of a memetica symbiont related to the decision theory hypothesized to cause coordination in Orz (P. Xenologia) and Cats (P. Ailouros), but for obvious reasons this has not and will never be confirmed.

Another possible cause is cryptic resonance synchronization akin to a more subtle and evolved variant of the well known ones used by the Deus genus, but in this case behavior necessitates presuming an extreme level of obfuscation.

No attempt to break R. Concordica coordination has ever succeeded despite numerous attempts to perform domestication or naturalization by up to Fifteen Stellar Hallow controlling Empires or equivalents in available records.

No attempt in available records has ever been undertaken by any organization above this size and authorities and oracles from such have reported that to do so would either violate necessary treaties or be a waste of valuable resources that far exceed the expected utility of a tamed variant of the organisms.

Fossil records, lineage investigations, historical trawls, dissection and direct interviews have been attempted to identify any lineages which share a common ancestor with R. Concordica in hopes of developing a comparable but more beneficial form of this coordination for imperial ends.

No extant or extinct species have been found which share more than a class with R. Concordica and none of those share its specific coordination adaptation. They are thus classified in a family alone due to their significant divergence from all other identified life.

Due to the computational capacity available to the combined and unified abilities of all R. Concordica theorized and their propensity for obfuscation and outright falsification of evidence relating to themselves extreme measures are required for any documentation or verification of data relating to them.

If proof of R. Concordica lineage are believed to be found; it is required that they be subjected to at least a Twenty-Seven stellar hallow controlling Empire’s major decryption and memetic verification facility or equivalent before they can be amended to this document.

If direct contact (within three hundred meters of surface) with a R. Concordica is believed it is recommended to expect to have been utilized in several payloads either through memetic or molecular manipulation.

Indirect contact through intermediaries is possible to lead to payloads as well but will be significantly more obvious and easily screened and treated by most medical facilities.

Carrying such a payload in either case may bar an individual from certain sensitive locations or require memetic or molecular sanitization in some territories depending on local policy.

Even if one is subjected to such a payload it is not to be considered catastrophic.

To date seven hundred and six extant and extinct stellar empires over three million years have confirmed that the pan-species organism that R. Concordica and its cooperation models hold only the goal for its continued preservation and that of its client species N. Troglodici .

There is also stated that there is no interest in the affairs of other organisms, organizations or polities beyond how they impact this goal.

Given this payloads should be considered mostly harmless.
