The Suedzuk of LAIR, T^5 sophont

[The Pakkrat]

Viewers we now take you to the Living section of our Net-7 News cast.

Tonight's topic IMT^5U: The Suedzuk of LAIR/Grnouf (Provence 2402), about their G5 V stellar primary. Lair A8859B9-E Cx Ga Hi Pr Pz [Vargr], see your local Library Data for more info on the Vargr home world.

The Suedzuk are a sub-species, intra-species race (if you prefer), and an ethnicity of the Major Race of Vargr from the same LAIR as other Vargr originate. They are found generally in the Vargr Enclaves Sectors of: Ktiin'gzat, Arzul, Mugheen't and can range into Kfaz Ghik, Angfutsag, Amdukan, parts of Trenchans and Empty Quarter. Their distinctive yet variable red pelt coloration gives them away as a sub-species of Vargr and are oft-despised due to their history, (see Library Data for the history of the Suedzuk).

Here are some technical measurements:
Niche and Subniche: Carnivore Chaser

A Sample Suedzuk Character

Tonight's spotlight on the Suedzuk Vargr, Net-7 News is tracking a late, (1190) story involving a rarity in the Spinward end of the Vargr Splinters. We have identified and are watching the following person of interest.

Zhevra Cannagrrh

Zhevra was born a female Suedzuk to a close-knit Pack she refuses to name in favor of her current Pack Cannagrrh into which she married in 1185. She was born in 301-1153 on Llotree (Ktiin'gzat 0839) A210AA7-G Hi Ht In Na M3 V Red in the Enclave Famurrueroergoghz (Ef) polity in the far reaches of the unknown Vargr Enclaves and Coreward of the Julian Protectorate. (Editor's Note: The rating of TL16 on Llotree is hotly debated by analysts embedded in the nearby Julian Protectorate who are watching the Enclave.)

As in all interviewed Suedzuk, Zhevra features the signature special senses of Awareness. That is, she can 'feel' tangentially through her sense of touch auras and fields of elecromagnetic and bio-electromagnetics provided she is not wet with water or other dampening fluids that insulate her sense of touch to the fields of Mag and Lek. Properly honed from an early age by her nuclear family and closest Pack members, Zhevra sharpened her Awareness with the ethnic Special Ability: Female Awareness-2. She has the signature and recognizable red-end of red-brown fur coloration with a 'ventral' cream white color. Her eyes are emerald green. Zhevra's skin under her pelt is either black or pink depending on body parts exposed. At 155cm, or just over five feet in height at relaxed stance, Zhevra is average for a female Suedzuk in frame and weight.

Zhevra Cannagrrh vehemently denies ever testing or receiving training in psionics. It is not known if she has ever been remotely measured for potential against her knowledge.

Born of the Suedzuk sub-species ethnicity and phenotype, her Genetic code gleaned from her parents is 4632XX and she was measured upon entering ED5 at a UPP of 7BA565.

Zhevra attended Vougth City School District for her ED5 then immediately was accepted for a year in Trade School under the Major of Jump Drive Engineering.

Though initially turned away from Service Academy in the polity's navy, her high marks and favors called in by her parents allowed the female and Suedzuk a Waiver. Zhevra graduated having taken courses in Jump Drive, Maneuver Drive and was reluctantly awarded a B.A. and Officer-1. Simultaneously, she opted to tack on Naval OTC coursework and her curriculum featured Power Plant Engineering. Since NOTC is voluntary, it granted her automatic acceptance, but the tuition had to be paid in two mandatory service terms in the local Spacer navy careers.

Her first, required tour in the Line Navy featured a Siege of protesting forces against the proposed joining of the Enclave Famurrueroergoghz with the Julian Protectorate. Zhevra, already a proficient, but subordinate, third-shift Engineer, was often sent to the bridge to crew the Comms board and deal with visited ships and worlds in the Siege operation. She was rewarded a Medal for Exemplary Service and Promoted to Lieutenant, (Officer-2).

Zhevra's second, required tour in the Line Navy was fraught with scandal on a routine Patrol route through the Enclave. Again assigned back and forth from Engineering to the Bridge, the Lieutenant was forced to take up the Sensors position but managed to hone the Life Support systems as well. However, a flirtatious male ship Captain kept Zhevra like a prized potted plant on the Bridge and she was forced to call him out before an inquiry. To avoid a battalion scandal, Zhevra was rewarded with a second Medal of Exemplary Service but promptly swept under the rug and honorably discharged from the Enclave Famurrueroergoghz navy.

She mustered out with a StarPass, a year's worth of Middle Passages and a increased air of self-worth.

Her ending resume UWP is: 7CB687
Zhevra is rated in: Jump Drives-5, Maneuver Drives-2, Power Systems-1, Life Support-1, Astrogator-1, Admin-1, Comms-1, Sensors-1

Zhevra speaks and is literate in the following languages (in order): Suedzuk, Logaksu, Galanglic, Gvegh, though she recalls having missed opportunities to learn Irilitok and Urzaeng in her travels Spinward.


Zhevra traveled Spinward from the Vargr Enclaves, amazingly clear across the now-Splintered Vargr Extents and into Tuglikki Sector where tragedy struck. In the interview with this very rare specimen of Red Pel-....excuse me, Suedzuk, Zhevra halted her shared history at 1185 by stating that further information is to be published in a biography in the future.
