	Triops
		All Triops are considered 'topped out' when constructed, and require 6 riggers to operate their fin sails; thus the large minimum crew number {including the 16 weaponeers}.
		Triops are expected to remain versatile under varied conditions for extended periods of time without resupply, and viands and raw and finished repair materials made of Tanu glass take most cargo space.
		The Triop is both a water and earth-capable landing vehicle; while a clumsy sea vessel requiring a draft almost 45 feet deep, the Triop is watertight and capable of full sail upon non-stormy water.

		Because the Latin genus name for the group of creatures at Triops belongs to is "Triops" and not "Triop".
		Triops survived because their eggs exist in a state of diapause (suspended animation) until they are added to water - scientists think that this is what helped the Triops survive the extreme temperatures and long droughts that existed at that time.

	MyTriops - food and recipes
		In nature Triops feed off fragments of plants, tiny insects and other creatures that grow in their temporary pond, there has been a lot of research done in North America and China on the possible use of Triops to destroy Mosquitos which spread a lot of disease.
		So it was natural for scientists to think that they could use Triops to consume Mosquitos whilst they were in their larvae state and so limit the spread of Mosquitos across the country.
		Only a few Triops in a population seem to actually take to active swimming, so whilst the rest of the Triops are eating plant and insects that happen to be lying on the bottom of the pool, the Mosquito larvae are for the most part simply ignored and can continue to grow virtually undisturbed.
