The Kzinti Planets are located southwest of the United Federation of Planets. Kzinti Prime itself is an Earth0like world, but with 1.2G. A Kzinti year is equal to 343 of it's days.
The Kzinti, like the Nausicaans, have been travelling in fusion warp engine craft since the 19th Century, and raiding various worlds, and along with the Daleks, they raided Earth, and some planets and moons in it's star system, clashing with Humans four times in small wars. They have long had Lasers and Drones, later replacing the Lasers with Phasers in the 2240s, and developing Disruptors later than other races, such as the Klingons and Lyrans, they mount them on their ships in sporadic numbers. They were among the first to routinely deploy fighters from carriers, and after returning William S. Gerard to UFP space, they formed an Alliance with the Federation, and then the Gorn, informing them on Enemy Ships and Fleet Movement, and striking against the Coalition in the General War.
Kzinti fur is Orange with Dark Brown/Grey/Black Stripes, unlike the myriad patterns of Caitian fur, Males have darker red spots around their eyes, and their rictus is one of anger.
They are descended from Plains Cats, and the strength, cunning and predatory instincts of their ancesters are kept, like the Anticans, Carnivons, Lyrans and several other species, they prefer to eat fresh meat, and for two centuries, they have been hostile towards Lyrans, warring with them at least five times, although when the Kzinti joined the UFP in 2289, and the Lyrans joined the Free Worlds of Klinzhai in 2339, this and their declining interest or hatred of one another led to them finally being allies, although often indirectly.
