Prologue:
The Shearzari race had been blighted by a terrible plague when Chapir was very young. The plague had been bioengineered by an enemy of their species to wipe them out, but due to the vagaries of germ warfare it had only been effective against females and some fifteen percent of the male population. In the end Chapir's people had won thanks to their superior technology, but their future was in shambles. There were no females, there was no future... something would have to be done.
So the search had begun for a species that was compatible with theirs. This was difficult, as the specific chemical required in the bloodstream to properly ripen eggs before laying was very rare in the galaxy and they required a level of it to be present that was toxic to all other species that were found.
Chapir managed to buy a ship that would carry him across the universe. He needed to find a breeder, one that he could impregnate over and over with litters. He needed to save his dying race and as he flew among the stars, he prayed to the ancients he could find his breeder.
