Tsunkatse ring

Tsunkatse ring

Tsunkatse is a popular spectator sport in the Delta Quadrant invented by the Norcadians. In Tsunkatse, two contestants battle in an arena wearing polaron disruptors on their hands and feet, which deliver a bioplasmic charge on contact with the opponent's two target sensors, located on the sternum and between the shoulder blades. The object is to attack the opponent's sensors while defending your own. In a Blue match, a fighter must land five successful strikes on his opponent's targets; a Red match is to the death.

In the 2370s, the sport was controlled by Penk, who captured various humanoids and forced them to fight in Tsunkatse matches against their will. These took place aboard his ship, and were transmitted live via hologram to various arenas in the sector. These fighters included a Pendari male, a male Hirogen fighter, and Seven of Nine.

Unnamed species

Curiously many of these species are from the Alpha Quadrant. They may have traveled the distance or they may simply be different species that look the same. In actually this is the result of make-up reuse.
