form

Form, a concept as elusive as the perfect cup of tea in a universe where the laws of physics have a tendency to take a tea break. It encapsulates the essence of an object, idea, or creature, giving it shape, structure, and that certain je ne sais quoi that makes it distinguishable from, say, a bowl of petunias or a very surprised looking whale. In the Galactic Standard Definition, 'form' is the thing you fill out in triplicate before applying for permission to have a good idea.

Travel Advice

When traveling through the Cosmos, one must be ever-vigilant in maintaining good form, both bureaucratically and physically. The latter is especially important when passing through any of those planets where gravity is more a suggestion than a law.

Where to Find

Form can be found in the most unexpected of places: from the elegant swirl of a galaxy, to the curiously perfect aerodynamics of the Golgafrinchan Ark Fleet Ship B. However, it can most consistently be located in the long queues of the Galactic Administration Offices.

What to Avoid

Avoid form in its bureaucratic incarnation at all costs. It has been known to cause severe headaches, temporal displacement, and an unshakable desire to become a recluse on a planet with no name, postal service, or forms.

Fun Fact

The common three-lobed brain of the Blagulon Kappans is believed to be the most efficient form for processing bureaucratic paperwork. Unfortunately, it is also the most efficient form for inducing a state of existential ennui.
