A chuy-hirtsi is a species capable of interstellar travel at warp speeds. They may be referred to as "warp animals". Chuy-hirtsi may be captured and rendered dormant until needed. They may be used as interstellar transports. Parts of the animal may be hollowed out to provide space for cargo and passengers; one example carried 44 troops of an Idiran raiding party, including 8 Idirans and 19 medjel.
