ah, more story to tell! before or after my Firebird?

Have to work on the timeline. It won't be until they return to Earth anyway, and after Hesperia, they are still on the outbound part of their voyage.

no hurries, no worries

Mmmm, hy is certainly a handsome fellow.

Hm, goodlooking :D

hy looks wonderful

awsome

Hermaphrodites, making family more complicated since 2129

yes, but it also even's out the parental responsibility a bit.

Also makes things confusing when your sister calls your mom "dad" and your dad "mom".

eh it's not as confusing as one thinks. :P
I have a few role play characters with the same situation.

Awesome. Nuff said.

On a side note, does this illustration also more or less set the look of Fleet uniforms, or at least one of the variants? On a related note, I'm giving some thought to trying my hand at working out what different uniforms are likely in use in the Fleet. At a minimum, I'd figure there'd be full-on ceremonial uniforms, there'd be dress/walking out uniforms (i.e., what you wear to and from your place of duty every day), and field/expeditionary. There will also be specialty stuff such as enviro suits, engineers' dungies or the equivalent, perhaps a special variant for shore/military police? Once I've had tea I'll sit down and put some ideas together and run them past everyone on Chakat Heaven, I guess.

No, this is just the standard ship's uniform for the crew of the Phoenix - a commercial trader, not Star Fleet.
The full biped version can be seen here - http://www.furaffinity.net/view/6135390/
The full biped trouser and jacket version can be seen here - http://www.furaffinity.net/view/6455469/
The uniforms are all the same shade of blue for all crew.

The Star Fleet standard duty uniform is already set. Here is one example for taurs - http://www.furaffinity.net/view/7723978/
The colour is matched to the department:
Red – Operations / Command
Gold – Engineering / Technicians
Blue – Physical sciences / Astrogation
Green – Biological sciences / Medical
Purple – Communications / Cryptography / Intelligence / Logistics
Grey – Security / Weapons / Fighter pilots
White – Protocol / Ambassadors
Tan – Ship's Services

Of course there are other variants for the reasons that you mentioned.

Thanks very much, Goldie. I confess, being in the navy I sometimes get all taken over details like this, and as it happened, due to one of my juniors types doing something they didn't ought to have done I had occasion to be wading through the dress manual and noting how many different variants of uniform there are

I thought that when a chakat breeds with another taur the result was always a chakat?

Skunktaurs are an exception, since they're so close genetically. For chakat-skunktaur crossbreeding, the cub is usually the same species as the mother, with the fur pattern and Talents influenced by the sire.

Ah, I see. :)

I wonder if he takes passengers.
