History & Background (Dossier)[edit]
Also known as the skyhuntress, or kahkahyeek from its hunting call, the garhawk has become popular in some circles of Imperial nobility for hunting. Properly trained garhawks, with their keen eyesight and superb hunting instincts, can spot and kill prey over remarkably long distances.
Garhawks are large (over one metre wingspan) flying carnivores, originally from Nagaschk, a planet to spinward of the Imperial core. Natives of the world, a TL3 race, delighted in hunting; their use of garhawks in sport sparked interest among human visitors. Once the trick of raising and training these vicious aveforms was mastered, a small but lucrative trade in garhawks gradually opened, introducing them through much of the Imperium, the Solomani Sphere and even within the Zhodani Consulate. Humans, at least those enjoying the hunt, have found the sport of hunting with garhawks a fascinating renaissance of falconry and hawking.
