Semi-intelligent minor race native to Vanejen in the Rhylanor subsector in the Spinward Marches. Previously with a wide range, they have been systematically reduced to a few scattered groups in marginal territories. Chirpers are omnivore/gatherers in the 25 kilogram class. Living in small groups with limited social organization, they follow age-old patterns of gathering fruits and berries in the wild. Chirpers are intelligent to a point, and have been known to speak. Their intelligence is more of a rudimentary cunning, devoted to stealing shiny objects or intriguing gadgets. Since this is usually sets of keys, or shiny coins, or other small valuable items, humans on Vanejen have never reacted well to the chirpers. Finally, chirpers are extremely swift, much more so than their size or built would indicate. They can dash and dart about unseen, if they care to. It is nearly impossible to catch a chirper.
