 The Kzinti are the first on-going alien contact that humanity has met within the Known Space universe.The first contact with humanity ends the human golden era of peace, where even history has been rewritten in a non-violent whitewash; organized violence was virtually eliminated, being reduced to roughly 1 in 1000 people, and interpersonal violence was unknown, except occasional outbursts in the asteroid belt where both medical and psychological care were spread thinly.Kzintoshi are born without names, which they must earn through valorous deeds.
