Hortek
7 August 2003
Author: Jim Williams
Source: Black Fleet Crisis
Hortek come from the planet Rakraztek, which translated into Basic means “Home of Heroes”. Hortek are the only predatory species currently members of the New Republic.

Hortek choose leaders based on the proof of their honor and strength. This causes some slight problems when they interact with other members of the Republic Senate as some senators view honor as an unnecessary moral ambiguity. However, to a Hortek, it is considered a great honor to exhibit patience in these situations instead of lashing out as was done in the “old days”.

Personality: Hortek act with honor in all matters and act with great deliberance in an effort to prove to themselves and others that they are above their primordial instincts.

Physical Description: Hortek average well over 2 meters in height with thick armor plating encasing their bodies. They live lifespans slightly shorter than Humans.

Homeworld: Rakraztek, a lush planet teeming with life and hunting grounds.

Language: Hortek speak Hortek and Basic.

Example Names: Pakpekatt, Gorkatezz, Kiltanepp, Zirkazfenn. Hortek use three syllable names in honor of their struggle to overcome their simpler predatory natures. It is unseemly and rude (and very dangerous) to shorten a Hortek’s name.

Adventurers: Hortek become adventurers to satisfy their lust for the thrill of action. Force-sensitive Hortek are extremely rare. d20:] They make excellent Scouts, Soldiers and Bounty Hunters. D6: Hortek typically use the Bounty Hunter template although any are available with species modifications.
