Reepchip, House of Chara, Clan of Tet is an operative in Shadow Operations who hails from the Federation-Allied Carnora Pentarchy. He is a Muran, who are one of the smallest intelligent biological races the Federation knows of (Reepchip is of average height: 2’9”, or just 84 cm).
Here Reepchip is taking cover during a firefight. The dagger he’s holding in his tail is called a Scorpion Dagger in English; the Muran term doesn’t quite translate (though it refers to a creature that looks somewhat similar). He’s only got a phaser, as Reepchip is too small to carry any other Federation firearm.
