K'ranch

K'ranch was a Kromsapiod who lived in the 24th century. In 2381, K'ranch was traveling to Dulaine when the orbital lift he was to ride to the surface malfunctioned. While waiting for it to be repaired, he was hosted aboard the USS Cerritos. He had brunch with Captain Carol Freeman, where they enjoyed mimosas and she found him "quite the charmer".

Due to his species' innate urge to hunt, K'ranch found the delay increasingly burdensome. Thus, he approached Brad Boimler and D'Vana Tendi in the ship's bar and asked whether either would be willing to be his prey in a Venarix hunt. Boimler, having earlier committed himself to "say yes" to the next proposal he heard, agreed without knowing the details. K'ranch proceeded to chase him through the ship.
