The world is geologically tranquil, though the inhabitants are far from it. Kilrathi evolved from a large felinoid predatory race to dominate their world, eventually learning tool use, and technology. Fiercely territorial, the individual clans often made war on each other over a myriad of slights, real or imagined. This intra-clan conflict came to a nearly complete halt when the Kilrathi discovered space flight, and subsequently made first contact with another space-faring species. The clan wars were over, as they now had a common enemy on which to focus. This new species, walking on two legs like the Kilrathi, but only covered sporadically in fur (notably on top of their heads, sometimes on their faces, and very light coverings on arms and legs), offended the Kilrathi by their very existence as another intelligent race. The Kilrathi quickly agreed that this other species, these "hoomans" must be destroyed. Thus, war was quickly declared between the two species and lasted for many years. Now there is an uneasy peace between the species which is made possible by the respective governments ignoring individual skirmishes that break out, rather than large scale battles between armadas decimating both populations. This antagonistic peace has lasted for over a hundred years, and as long as the governments are able to keep their militaries out of the skirmishes, it looks to last even longer.Kilrathi stand between 5'10" and 6'5" tall, and weigh between 180 lbs and 260 lbs. They are covered in a thick fur ranging in colors from white to black and including most normal feline colors between. Kilrathi often sport a myriad of patterns in their fur, and all males have thick and long manes. Warriors will often adorn their manes with decorative braids and symbols of their kills. Quite often viewed as a status symbol among younger warriors, many older scarred veterans see this as beneath them, and keep their symbols of their kills on a sleeve, or even on a wall. Many a group of young Kilrathi warriors has been shamed into silence by the thousand yard stare of a weathered grey maned veteran giving an admonishing look, and never saying a word.Species TraitsKilrathi share the following species traits:Type: Humanoid (Kilrathi)Size: Medium-size.

I'm not challenging any copyrights. Kilrathi are copyrighted to ... errr... someone who isn't me, and are used without any semblance of permission. This is strictly a fan work. They're certainly not OGC.</blockquote>
