Native Lifeforms
A native predator, the jigar, is renowned for its ferocity.
Native Sophont (NIL): Dishaan
The Dishaan descend from pack animals, which once roamed in groups of 20 to 30 and driving predators away from their kills. Their social structure was based entirely around feeding rights, as maintained by continuous "pecking order" squabbles. Intelligence gradually developed as the Dishaan evolved ever more elaborate ways of subjugating their pack mates without resorting to physical violence. Self-interest and constant pursuit of advantage continue to define the Dishaan, a fact that saw them tightly controlled by the Vilani for many centuries.
History & Background (Dossier)
