Hussade

Hussade was a Kzinti team sport, described as being very violent.

It was normally played on a gridiron with each team having a "sheirl" at either end. The sheirl was, in most instances, a beautiful woman that served as source of inspiration for a team. The first team to score three points, that is, pulling all three rings on a sheirl's robes, wins.

served as sheirl for the team made of Lyran prisoners and Zetra, as well as a Rakelli EMH, played on that team. They both were instrumental in granting the POWs their freedom.

Background
The sport first appeared in the book Trullion: Alastor 2262 by Jack Vance. However, the sheirls needed not to be virgin in the depiction of hussade.
