They were called Virushi, and my copy of the Contact! where they first
appeared is in Best of the JTAS 3, which means it was originally
published in one of JTAS 9 to 12. Great minor race, big as a K'kree in
battle dress, and v. gentle; also v. stubborn, there is no way you are
going to easily make one of these things do something they don't want
to. The article says they originate in Reaver's Deep, so maybe whoever
was creating the T:TNE pocket empire in that region will know more. Did
DGP re-publish the information in the Traveller's Digest?
