Biology
The Kzishaya are a species with a felinoid origins, native to Quadrant 21 and known for their brutality and cruelty. They are far relatives of the far more and humle Caizini who they despite and hate. The Kzishaya are classified by other species as a dangerous species, often accussed of piracy and theft. However none dared to intervere due to the Kzishaya natural strenght and immense physical power. There skin and fur is so endurable that they need multiply phaser bolts before being knocked down. The Kzishaya are also quite large, measering 2.50 to 3 meters in which they can easily overpower smaller and weaker species. Another notable trait of the Kzishaya is that they dislike humanoids above all other species, believing them to smell and corrupt. The Kzishaya are quick to anger and have a short temperament. In their own culture they often held gladiator contests, with the victor getting prizes or their own vessels, or in fact even their own humanoid slaves!

Their large claws they use to tear apart their enemies, and their sharp teeths are used to rip off flesh of their victims. The Kzishaya refuse anyone to enter their territories, as they dislike other species and feel themselves as supreme to others. It is also known that they eat their victims.

History
Not much is known of the Kzishaya history, much of it has been destroyed during an event the Kzishaya describe as the "Infection the Brood". Over time, the Kzishaya managed to reach space, though there is some dispute within the Kzishaya ranks that they developed a space craft of their own or managed to obtain one. The Kzishaya reached space around 50 BQF and soon expanded and obtained multiply planets. Their territory borders both Icolian and Serlgmec space. The nearby Southern Trade Route runs between the Serlgmec and Kzishaya space, and became one of the most dangerous sections of the route due to the Kzishaya raiding trade convoys. Because of their activities, they soon shared a strong rivality with the Quadrantia Loron.
 * Early History

They also began sworn enemies of the Andormaru, who began hunting the Kzishaya for sports. Upon the same time they learned of the excistance of the Caizini, who they began killing for fun at every sight due to them hating the Caizini for being relatives. In 01 NE, the Kzishaya became aware of Rambo presence and began gathering information about them. When they learned that the Rambo had became a protactrate of a far larger and more powerful Empire- the Kzishaya council feared that Imperial patrols will make it harder to raid convoys and steal their cargo. After learning this information the Kzishaya have tried to contact other empires for possible alliances in 01 NE, however their disturbing history and short temperament made it difficult to negotiate anything at all.
 * Quadrantia Disorder and Dark Times

As such the Kzishaya also began to take hostages and began selling them to parties both within Cyrannus and the Quadrants for large amounts of money.

In 02 NE the Kzishaya ventured far away from their borders, raiding Rambo and Empire vessels along the trade route and at the borders of the Rambo Deep Space Colonial Sector. During one raid they managed to destroy a Imperial corvette and killed the entire Basileus crew- earning their hatred.
