 History 

The  Shistavanen  are a lupine  race native to  Uvena , one of many habitable planets in the Star Wars universe. Their bodies are covered in dark hair and they have intimidating, glowing red eyes and sharp fangs. They have very well developed senses, making them extremely good hunters.

<p style="font-family: Arial;"> The biological makeup of the Shistavanen resembles that of any lupine animal, characterized by muzzles, sharp claws, long pointed teeth, and pointed ears. They possess large glowing eyes, could run at very long distances and at a higher speed than most felines, and have keen sensory faculties.
