Xenohunter

"Kheeze is always worth the trip. The Kheezer don't think about conservation on the dark side, they just want their monsters gone. When you bag something nasty, they wind up throwing you a big party after, too. I've been three times and I'm going back next year. I've heard stories about a 'ronggerisher,' an unbeatable monster that hybernates for centuries and emerges to eat and mate for three days. There are only about seventy of them, and the Kheezers actively track each one so they know when to take shelter. I'm going to be a hero again."

Hunters Beyond The Stars

Xenohunters are fearless adventurers who travel the galaxy in search of alien species to hunt and catalogue. These skilled professionals can be divided into two categories: Trophy Hunters and Live Capturers. Trophy Hunters seek to bring back the carcasses of previously unknown or elusive alien species, often to collect trophies and sell them to research institutions for study. They take pride in their ability to track and defeat formidable prey, and their trophies serve as a testament to their skill and bravery.

Taggers

Taggers, on the other hand, focus on capturing alien species alive, with the goal of selling them to universities, corporations, and research facilities. This type of xenohunter requires a deep understanding of alien biology and behavior, as well as advanced skills in tracking, sedation, and containment. Live Capturers can command high prices for rare and exotic species, making it a lucrative profession for those who are successful.

Payout

The discovery of a previously uncatalogued alien species can be a life-changing event for a xenohunter. Such a find can fetch a small fortune, enough to support the hunter for years to come. As a result, xenohunters are constantly seeking out new worlds and uncharted territories to explore, driven by the thrill of the hunt and the promise of untold riches. Despite the dangers and uncertainties of their profession, xenohunters are drawn to the freedom and adventure that comes with exploring the unknown reaches of the galaxy.
