Calamarian Knowledge Bank
a group of giant bivalve shell creatures which inhabit the Calamari oceans, they are in effect giant brains capable of storing incredible amounts of information. They listen to the daily life of the creatures around them - accumulated from a network of small, non-sentient creatures that mindlessly collect data from the Mon Cals and the Quarren - and store the data for later use. The Mon Cals and the Quarren can petition the banks for information at any time.
