Rishii

Excellent hunters, the avian Rishii of the Rishi system were known for their agreeable and accepting attitude towards outsiders.

Rishii had a pair of large wings at which the ends of their are human like hands and fingers. They usually swooped down at very great speeds from cliffs to catch rodents in their talons. Thier keen senses made them excellent predators.

Rishii had little interest in technology. The items they traded with outsiders they usually used to decorate their nests. However, they were intruiged by what they called "shiny rocks", spacecraft, which allowed beings without wings to fly.

Family groups lived together in open-air nests built on cliffs and perches, and members of the tribe lived and worked together peacefully. They respected members of other tribes who came to visit them, and also the offworlders that colonized the humid lowlands.

Rishii had a talent in language, and used this talent to copy the voices and movements of other beings, which the one that they were copying finds very annoying. The Rishii, however, enjoyed using their talents.
