Dear All,
Sorry if my data on the Chanur books seemed a little bit hazy, its a while
since I last read them; I wasn't expecting to get jumped on for not quoting
them verbatim, etc. :)
I merely brought them to people's attention because, as pointed out in
subsequent messages, they provide a good background for merchants, give an
interesting viewpoint on how an alien race might view humans, and also an
insight into what the Aslan society might have been based upon (back in the
mists of time when they owned only a few planets). Okay, so once they spread
out a bit, the males had to take a greater part in society, etc.
The alien races in the Chanur series are equally interesting in that they're
not just the standard anthropomorphic bug-eyed aliens which can magically
talk 'common speak' and either act like humans or are quite clearly marked out
to be the blood-sucking monsters for the players to shoot down. If you want
a good way to confuse your players for a while, get them trying to communicate
with the k'nnn (even sharing the same flying space could be hazardous!)
Yours, quietly hiding in a concrete bunker somewhere...
