Your reason for why Piscciss Volann shouldn't be how they are is flawed, but ultimately you are right.

You argument is flawed because creatures do not need tools or even limbe to become sapient. In fact, there are theories that Dolphins may be on a similar level of intelligence to primitive humans.

However the Piscciss shown in Deep simply does not work on two levels: The reason they need some surface landmass is because a species NEEDS a reason to evolve in certain ways. Piscciss Volann are amphibious, possessing legs when on land and a tail while underwater. How could they evolve legs without land to use them on?
 * 1) There is no surface landmass at all
 * 2) There are no Piscciss Premann

Combine this with the fact that the Volann had no visible cities at all and possessed metal tools, armour, and technology. Where would they get the water from and where would they take it to be processed and experimented with?

Piscciss Premann, while we've never seen an natural member of this species, were not seen AT ALL in Deep. They have been canon since OS and Kraab was seen in AF, so logically they should have been seen somewhere?

@Trigger Even if Piscciss is artificial it is still their homeworld and, as far as has been stated in both canon media and elsewhere, it is the planet upon which they evolved.

@Pyronite argument

This area cannot really be explained by science. The star, I would assume, is just a dull star therefore making it cool enough to support land. Pyronites I guess remain on fire to keep themselves alive by burning fuels within themselves.
