===Stunt Explanations:===
'''Beast Whisperer:''' Your animalistic Quagmeeri nature gives you a greater insight and understanding of the bestial psyche than that of other more civilized galactic races. +2 to create advantage or overcome with Lore when you try to calm or communicate with animals.
'''Child of Quagmeera:''' The savage primitives of Quagmeera are renown throughout the Imperium for their ability to move quickly and quietly through the impenetrable swamplands of their home world as they stalk and track dangerous prey. You may roll Lore instead of Stealth whenever you are in the wilderness, and may also roll Lore instead of Investigate for tracking in those areas.
'''Spear Maiden of the Mire:''' You are trained in the brutal ways of the fearsome Marsh Warriors of Quagmeera. +2 to Fight rolls when using the traditional arms of a Quagmeeri fighter.
'''Weir Witch:''' As a daughter of House Dagobah you can not only communicate with animals but also have the power to control them out right as well. Once per scene you may spend a fate point to place the aspect Controlled on an animal or small group of animals (flock, pack, pride, school, swarm or small herd etc). This is automatic--no roll needed. The aspect is free-taggable by you the first time and lasts for the entire scene or until you dispel it. You must be able to physically see the animal or animals to be controlled. This ability does not work if blindfolded or otherwise visually impaired.

Background:

Professor Henyey was spirited from his chair at the Vernulian University by Queen Mechanica to investigate the strange ruins on Primus I, where the Primusian civilization transcended this universe. With threats of brutality to his dear protégé and graduate student Arden Aunis, Professor Henyey was forced to crack the ancient seals. He was on the verge of handing over the ancient scrolls when Kat Cartwright swooped in and destroyed Mechanica's machinations. The ruins were re-sealed, and Professor Henyey is now on the run with the Star Patrol.

Appearance:

Henyey is a frail middle-aged man with greying hair. He carries a satchel with an ever-rotating supply of small inventions that he uses to help the Star Patrol overcome unusual obstacles, and a pair of magnetosonic destructor pistols that he fires wildly when in danger.
