   The K'r'r'r... O.K.  These pests are large spidery guys with upright
torsos.  They hold that Wildspace is their natural domain and that all within
it (including worlds, people) are resources to be exploited.  Their Unity
Fleets are very devestating because each 30 ton ship can join with another to
form craft larger than the usual 100 ton limit (as far as how large, that is
never said.  DM's perogative).  They use a special kind of helm called,
suprisingly, a K'r'r'r helm, an ivory staff that works like a portable minor
helm for anyone else, but with which the K'r'r'r can link up control of
several vessels at once.  This maneuver only works at tactical speeds, so
when the fleet arrives, it arrives one ship at a time.
    This information along with monster entries is found in the Legend of the
Spelljammer boxed set (now at selected toy stores for a wickedly low price!).
