The beka makako, plural makakoj, is fairly common across the Thousand Suns, so much so that their world of origin can no longer be accurately determined. Beka makakoj bear a striking resemblance to Terran spider monkeys but with a chitinous beak. They are of friendly temperament and very clean, making them excellent pets and popular among ship and space station crews.
Note: What is not widely known is that sometimes beka makakoj can boost the abilities of psions they are bonded to. A beka makako will possess this talent if it passes a TN6 Test. The number of successes serves as a bonus to any psionic related Tests performed by a single psion who has consistently spent at least three months with the beka makako and is within ten meters of it at the time the Test is performed. If the psion and makako are separated for longer than one week, the three month period must be restarted. It is possible for a beka makako to bond with another person but this will only succeed if a TN4 Test is passed, the three month period is observed and the person to which the makako originally bonded to is not encountered again.
The beka makako is an adaptation of the beaked monkey from Classic Traveller for Thousand Suns.
