History & Background (Dossier)
The K'kree have not taken as readily to spaceflight as have their human neighbors-among their own kind it is still the "madman" who will even submit to work within such a confining device as a spaceship. The Imperium relies heavily on its space lanes and the flow of people and materials between planets; they need thousands of ships to keep moving every standard day. The K'kree, on the other hand, call upon each of their worlds to support its own population; far fewer ships need move between K'kree stars.
But commerce does take place, nevertheless. K'kree merchant vessels carry mostly specialized materials such as exotic foodstuffs and scarce repair parts between worlds. Only in special instances are great amounts of material necessary to keep a world's population supplied, and these are generally taken care of by larger tug-type freighters.
Relatively small K'kree merchant vessels are still almost floating cities compared to human equivalents. The Xeekr'kir! type merchant, for instance, carries relatively little cargo (only 34 tons are dedicated to cargo), but has sufficient space to accommodate 74 individual K'kree. It is their race's claustrophobia which prevents them from taking fuller advantage of ship design technology for their purposes-K'kree ships must be enormous by human standards for two reasons. First, each K'kree requires considerable space for his personal comfort and sanity. Second, each K'kree actually involved in running the ship comes with a retinue, or family, which balloons the complement of the ship with non-productive personnel.
