Cortian

Basically giant canaries, with a body close enough to Ke!endarian that with a feather dye job, they can pass for Ke!endarian. The homeworld Corta is in the Sagittarius Dwarf Galaxy, which is being cannibalized by the Milky Way. It is a very poor stellar system, and the population learned piracy and slavery to survive. They are very skillful and ruthless raiders in the PGC.
