    Tzenkethi for ICON based on CODA book Worlds version

    A rough take for Tzenkethi based on the worlds write-up ... had to differentiate by gender as the males are the organizers and teachers of the young and the females are the warriors, workers etc ....

    Don't think I can say much more than that as it's copywritten

    There's a certain amount of fair use leeway : d

    I'm not sure if i liked the writeup in worlds–it seemed a little, well... bland. I had hoped that there would be some sort of useful and interesting thing about them to make them cool potential antagonists, but it's like, "here are some watered-down Kzinti."

    Leeway, I suppose .... but I've already had a post removed this month due to copywrite ! .... dirty damned deckplans ....

    True enough, not a whole lot of info on them there, but with nothing much canon to go on I'm not suprised ... I suppose it's the bare bones of something that could be fleshed out way more.
    Maybe like the Romulans are to the Vulcans, the Tzenkethi could be to the Kzinti ... perhaps an oddball matriarchal element that left Kzinti space due to the discrimination and then evolved or reproduced with another native species somewhere to become the more humanoid than felinoid race that they seem to be described as in the book ... a race that has the fear of their oppression and discrimination so heavily ingrained that they've maintained a fiercely matriarchal society. Perhaps their intolerance of trespassers stems from a years long fear that the Kzinti were going to come after them at some point.
