 +===== Description =====
  
 Kirrus are arboreal creatures with fur colours between green and grey, partly with white accents. Their body size is about 1.5 m when standing up, with a slim, lightweight build making it easy to climb. The kirrus remind of morphic squirrels with their bushy tails and tufted ears. Their forepaws and hindpaws are five-fingered, with two opposable fingers (like thumbs) and three middle fingers. They have prominent whiskers on their muzzles and above the eyes, and live mostly vegetarian, though their teeth allow a pretty universal diet.  Kirrus are arboreal creatures with fur colours between green and grey, partly with white accents.

 Kirrus have an old spacefaring tradition, though the community living on Wildplanet has given this up centuries ago. Kirru spacesuits have gloves with separate fingers for all four paws, special helmets to accommodate the ears and a generous tail tube. Kirru spaceship crews resemble their living communities in not having a fixed command structure, so their organization might be regarded by other space crews as chaotic.  Kirrus have an old spacefaring tradition, though the community living on Wildplanet has given this up centuries ago.

-Copyright Info+===== The kirru story ===== 
 + 
 +In the year 1400, aliens arrived on the planet Earth. They were kirru scientists coming from their homeworld, Kirronia, in search of more life in the universe. They landed in the Himalaya and took some specimens of the native wildlife on their spaceship - snow leopards and bharals. 
 + 
 +On the way back, the kirru scientists heard that a fundamentalist religious regime had taken over power on their homeworld, regarding space flight as blasphemy and abolishing all of it, destroying the spaceport and spaceships. The best space scientists, so they heard, managed to escape with their spaceship, to unknown destinations. The scientists knew that they couldn't go back to their homeworld. 
 + 
 +A technical problem in the drive of their ship sent them to the far-off star system of Felios, where they found [[Jalan]] to be habitable. They landed in a desert strip with a flat rock now known as the "landing spot", released the snow leopards and bharals, who reproduced well and spread into the mountains, and started to settle in the forests themselves. They could not communicate to other regions of space, or take off with their broken spaceship however .... 
 + 
 +The next 800 years, forests and mountains of Jalan became sparsely populated with kirrus, bharals and snow leopards, in addition to the wildlife already there. Then in the terran year 2201, explorers from Luna came and started a small settlement in the forested area at the east coast of Laurasia, the largest continent of the planet. 
 + 
 +During the following years, the legendary spaceship of the kirru explorers, the Queckshiaulriaul, was rediscovered and made spaceworthy again. Kirru scientists are still working on the vast contents of the computer, rediscovering their culture.
