It's no surprise that the Cheoroeds, an amphibious race, subsist primarily on fish and seafood. However, they also farm for vegtables and fruits. They do this in underwater "Growth Bubbles", which are small spheres that are tied to the bottom of the sea and filled with air. A timer system allows water to trickle through a desalinitation device before flowing in calculated amounts to the plants. They are supplied with light by "Glowspheres", which hang from these 300 foot diameter spheres. The crops are harvested every three months. The Cheoroeds catch seafood with specialized submarines, known as "Baleen Subs". They are equipped with structures that mimic a whale's Baleen, only much larger. They catch huge quantities of fish this way. These Baleen Subs are also equipped with "Sweepers", which suck water through a vaccum and filter and expell it out the back. These sweepers take invertabrates off the bottom of the sea. The Cheoroed population is content with their food, but a rare delicacy that becomes availible every now and then is Gronaakk Meat. They do not particularly care for Ekrin or Turtle meat because they come from the water like most of their protein rich food. However, Gronaakks have a high flavor content that Cheoroeds are not used to. Therefore, the Twasseccs can make huge quantities of money selling Gronaakk to Cheoroa.
