After an extensive, running firefight through the remains of a small city, three Lycalli patrol officers finally bring down the single human soldier who had been wreaking havoc against their forces. For most of them, this is the closest they've gotten to a dead human. (this is the last image I ever drew with the "Burning Stone" theme.)

I must confess that I was inspired by some photos I saw from the Vetnam era about the destruction of Hue, (And you can correct me if I'm wrong.) a moden, thriving city in South East Asia. Actually the one human did do a lot of damage in the town all by herself, but the burned out car was from an earlier raid. The humans in this scenario were outnumbered 1,000 to 40,000 Lycalli. Thus, the humans had to resolve to some pretty nasty tactics to hold the planet until reenforcements arrived.
I must confess that I have an appreciation for the US Vietnam era weaponry and vehicles. The wolf like Lycalli, separated from Human space after the Gene-Tech wars that created them and quickly became a space colonizing force to be reconed with. Using data "Stolen" from Human archives, they adopted weaponry similar to that used in the late 20th Century in the Terran Sector. The equipment was cheaper to produce, easier for the Lycalli to use and maintain, and worked more efficently in the jungle and forest environments of the planet "Burning Stone" which both the Humans and Lycalli were trying to take control of. Oh they have ray guns, bolt throwers and robot machine guns too, but they just last long in the Jungles.
