Special Krojula weaponry-torpedoes.
A torpedo,is a slow and fat rocket,stuffed with explosives.It ignores shields,causes damage in 4 chambers,but can be easily shot down.It is launched from special torpedo-launchers.



The Crojula sector has blue,water planets as backgrounds.

Sounds like too much of a gimmick for a ship that essentially is a Lanius vessel, except the air-breathers and the water-breathers can't be on the same ship.

If you somehow lose your Lanius on a Lanius vessel, you're not screwed because you can simply oxygenate the whole ship and make it a foolish meatsack vessel.

This sounds rather complicated (where does the water come from, does it go from room-to-room and why would there be a water mechanic in the first place for a single species and ship) and if you don't have any Krojula onboard (and thanks to the RNG, you don't get to their sector) then your ship is basically dead as everyone drowns or is restricted to the medbay. Plus the 100 per alien price tag? A bit much don't you think?

In other words, aquatic aliens sound cool, but they shouldn't require a completely new mechanic to function. If they were to exist, their gimmick would probably be self-regeneration (sort of like having Engi nanobots).

There are no plant aliens either! Though if you want to get technical about it, the Slugs are aquatic aliens. They evolved on a planet covered with water.
