Introduction

Kintara IV is a world deep within Orion Space and near the Klingon border. It has a large biodiversity with a number of vicious, predatory beasts still thriving in isolated pockets on its five land masses which are hunted by select males (with hand weapons only) as trophies and rites of passage. Lord Gled Forsch is one such male who hunted down and bagged a Sheff, he still keeps its pelt in his quarters for its warmth in his bedding and as a trophy. The Skeff are nocturnal hunters some twelve feet in length snout to hindquarters (Not including tail}, four legged and stand 5'10" at the withers on average. They have two rows of razor sharp teeth, upper and lower with canines in the first row which protrude several inches below their lips. They have exceptional night vision, sense of smell and hearing and are some of the most feared of Kintara IV's predators. Kintaran males are unrivaled among the Orions due to their heavier musculature, cunning and ferocity even when not under the influence of their female's phermones.
