Flo-Pets are a bioluminescent freshwater slug indigenous to Xis (Kellog II). Despite being protected by the Fair Chance Act, Human smugglers began eluding United Empire of Earth military forces to travel to the surface to capture Flo-Pets around 2918, intending to develop them as an easily-bred compact protein source. When they proved inedible for Humans, they were instead marketed as novelty pets, which led to a brief fad that further fueled smuggling operations. Flo-pets adapt to new environments easily and discarded pets have gone on to establish populations on many Human-inhabited worlds.
