Has anyone ever used Orcas in their game?
Sea Otters? Why not Meerkats or Raccoons?
I asked about "killer whales" because they're more intelligent (or just as) Dolphins, and they're listed in the Traveller wiki, but other than Blur Planet I've never seen them listed as NPCs (much less PCs).

Hints abound that for every Terran uplift we have been informed of, at least one more has avoided the annals of history, often by looking like the one we know about.
Well, Rocket Raccoons.
Meerkats are used by Hosteen Storm in Andre Norton's books, Beast Master and Lord of Thunder, and are more intelligent than the normal ones. As for Raccoons, I have already given them some thought. I chose Sea Otters as they are already tool users, and are also more able to operate on land than Dolphins.
I seem to recall that Lords of Thunder was part of a quadrilogy authored by Jack L. Chalker … I can't remember much of it though … or am I thinking Pirates of Thunder? Oh well.
