The "Shistavanen Wolfmen" are human-sized hirsute bipeds hailing from the Uvena star system. Their ears are set high on their heads, and they have pronounced snouts and large canines.
The Shistavanens are excellent hunters, and can track prey through crowded urban streets and desolate desert plains alike. They have highly developed senses of sight, and can see in near-absolute darkness. They are capable of moving very quickly and have a high endurance.
As a species, the Shistavanens are isolationists and do not encourage outsiders to involve themselves in Shistavanen affairs. They do not forbid foreigners from coming to Uvena to trade and set up businesses, but are not apologetic in favoring their own kind in law and trade.
A large minority of Shistavanens are more outgoing, and range out into the galaxy to engage in a wide variety of professions. Many take advantage of their natural talents and become soldiers, guards, bounty hunters, and scouts. Superior dexterity and survival skills make them attractive candidates for such jobs, even in an Empire disinclined to favor aliens.
Most Shistavanen society is at a space technological level, though pockets remain at an information level. The Shistavanen economy is largely self-sufficient. Three of the worlds in the Uvena system are colonized in addition to Uvena Prime itself. |
