Qbli’s Cradle Cap
On their tour through the outer system, the theatre troupe Ghreet’d’Ghanshe were invited to Qbli's Cradle to perform for their generational regeneration festival. Their new good trick was to seemingly conjure a small nebula in their final scene and then disappear.
Unfortunately, the frequency at which their prose were transmitted interfered with the Qbli’s outer hull gestation process, and for a whole generation their hulls were mottled nonsense. Their societal system broke down when they could no longer correlate their identities and narrative patterns. This generation abandoned hope for communication and turned to hermitry. The few that survived the isolation generation were able to regenerate new hulls in accordance with the old customs. A few however preferred the interference and continued to generate corrupted data hulls, revelling in the conflict and dissonance.
Qbli hermits have since been the great clowns of the galaxy. Exiled from Qbli's Cradle they now have a cult following and several even joined Ghreet’d’Ghanshe. This hat was a costume used by one Qbli with Ghreet’d’Ghanshe at some point before they disbanded due to internal conflicts.
