			==History==
	Greenish relates how the Spathi established a base on Algol IV. Finding the climate unsuited to their needs, the Spathi thoughtlessly set up terraforming equipment to (they thought) slightly, harmlessly alter the planet's atmosphere. Unfortunately, their equipment malfunctioned and set off a catastrophic chain reaction; in typical Spathi fashion, the colonists fled rather than attempting to correct their mistake, and the resulting disaster ended up stripping off most of Algol IV's atmosphere and wiping out the Algolites.

	Among the many ~~didactic~~ anecdotes Trade Master [[Greenish]] of the [[Melnorme]] relates to the [[Human]] [[The Captain\|Captain]] during their association is the story of the '''Algolites''', the native inhabitants of the planet Algol IV. ~~He calls them simply~~ "Algolites"~~, referring either~~ to the entire population of non-sentient species on Algol IV, to a primitive species without a name themselves, or to a species whose name he does not know. Greenish might also lack a usable transliteration or translation of the name, or simply be refusing to give it for his own reasons (as he often did with various details of his anecdotes); it is always a possibility that the Algolites didn't even exist.		Among the many anecdotes Trade Master [[Greenish]] of the [[Melnorme]] relates to the [[Human]] [[The Captain\|Captain]] during their association is the story of the '''Algolites''', the native inhabitants of the planet Algol IV.
