Description

The Shistavanen were a sentient species resembling bipedal wolves, with wolflike faces, clawed paws, and glowing yellow or red eyes. Originating from Uvena Prime in the Uvena system, their evolution was influenced by unknown genetic engineers, resulting in features such as muzzles, sharp claws, pointed teeth, and pointed ears atop their heads. They possessed remarkable senses, including keen hearing, smell, and night vision, while being sensitive to certain stimuli. Shistavanen were often isolationist, colonizing uninhabited worlds in their system and maintaining restrictive trade laws favoring their own kind. Some ventured into the wider galaxy, often working as scouts, mercenaries, or bounty hunters due to their predatory instincts.
