Forming the basis of the Stellar Federation universe, chakats were originally created on Earth in the aftermath of the Gene Wars, but by the time of Forest Tales, and the other related stories (circa 2300) the species had colonised a planet (Chakona) orbiting a star called Chakastra. The name "chakat" comes from Charles and Katherine Turner, a husband and wife team of researchers who were the first to develop this species.
