The cachalot is a giant cetacean seen very rarely, for they often dive to deep depths. They're also known as sperm whales after their spermaceti, a waxy substance in the whale's head cavity, which is considered valuable. It is for this that they're hunted, however, they've been known to sink even the largest of whaling ships, often with a well-placed ram.

gollark: Happily, you can construct more tanks on site from resources there, but I ran into issues of the docking port orientations getting messed up, and wobbliness.

gollark: There are mods for resource sharing between local ground bases, I think.

gollark: Just harvest 5 times its mass to use in mass drivers.

gollark: Gilly should be small enough to spin round reasonably well, especially since resources on planets are infinite.
