The great [[Spaceborne Fauna|megafauna]], or Tahora, of the [[Rangi]] and Sector-West are part of the lifeblood of the Tahora Whai. Creatures like the [[Teuthemi Leviathans]] (aka Great Tahora) provided the people of [[Dynae]] with the resources to endure hardships and the devastation of their world; not to mention the inspiration for the [[Tahora Whai#The Vāk and Erinaa|Vāk cybernetics]]. Whaling has long been practiced in this region of space, even before the genesis of the Tahora Whai. |

To the Whai, these megafauna are all noble creatures, and to waste them would be a travesty in their eyes. To kill them for sport or profit is anathema. A healthy population of voidborne megafauna is necessary for the survival and continuance of the Tahora Whai. Management of the Rangi involves the protection of breeding populations of megafauna in sanctuaries and reserves, keeping populations in check through harvesting, and the elimination of the threat posed by violent beasts to the people of the Rangi by either shepherding them to managed reserves or defeating them if necessary. The Whai serve as wardens and keepers of the space that the Whales inhabit. |
