Little to none has been written for the "Skorr" race. No real effort had been put into the "Skorr" race other than a neat alien for the Star Trek animation series. I went into a little more development based on real birds, their biology and how I feel the race would look and it's biology.

Even the Kizin of the Star Trek animation series were bland brownish or dull orange hunchback cats, who have a very wide face, a barrel chest, arms that dangle forward at the sides and a mask of a darker color over the eyes like a raccoon. This is not how the players of Kizins picture themselves as. So "House Rules" apply to all races that were left undeveloped in the animation series meaning there is room for development and change to enhance the game and fun.

How T'kee's size and dimensions came about. Frankly I am tired of the aliens looking like humans with bits glued to them. And wanted more than just another human in a feather suit wearing a mask. I want T'kee to be ALIEN "not human" to the core.

The Animation Series of Start Trek had one or two episodes with the "Skorr" race as well as one other Avian race. Aurelian "the other avians" are a smaller bird people who are more historians and scholars than the Skorr who are more like warriors seeking a more peaceful life now.

The "Skorr" were noted as being 8 foot tall. With real Earth Eagles the females are bigger than the males by 30%. "Skorr" should be no different. I personally think that the "Skorr" should be no taller than 8 feet. That would put the females at 8 foot and the males between 6 to 7 foot.

Eagles can fly at 65 miles per hour and can dive at 100 mph up to 200 mph. Skorr are bigger and more powerful than the Earth Eagles. The speed of flight may be greater than 65 miles per hour, but the diving speed would be the same. Perhaps the Skorr can fly at 75 or 80 mph. I don't see them as going over 100 mph, I would think that would be to much stress on their large bodies.

Also to note, the Prince T'Charr in the Animation Series had four fangs or tusks in his beak. In the same location as a dog's fangs would be. This may be a male trait only. Ether missing or greatly smaller in the females.

I haven't given much thought to the letter in front of the name. This could be family name, thus T'kee should be A'kee. Or some sort of social rank, such as Prince, Princess, Duke, Duchess, Scholar, Warrior, Doctor, Explorer, Common Folk, ect., May be T'kee is linked to a Royal blood line somewhere in her past and is the reason of the T'. For now I am not certain, I'll develop this later.

Egg laying and such will be based on real Earth Eagles except the size of the eggs, 2 to 3 eggs not being uncommon. Volume of the egg would be like the Earth bound Ostrich, for the size of bird, around one and a half liquid gallons.

I based T'Kee's coloration on the Crested Caracara a hawk like bird found on earth (real). The Animation series have the "Skorrs" being of just one yellow-gold color, bland, and not a great design, real birds are so much more colorful. The Animators were limited on how much time they could put into the animation so would lack rich details on many aliens just to move the product out and make the animation simpler to do.
