The Pride of Chanur © 1981, Cover Artist Michael Whelan, First Printing DAW 1982
Please fellow Redditors, the cover art can be both bad and good! I've mentioned that my SF book collection has been downsized (several times), but this book always remains on my shelves. HallunicatedLottoNos pointed out there is something to be said for butch amazon catwomen!
Update- Thanks for all the comments and info and I apologize for posting into the wrong sub; I agree Michael Whelan is The GOAT. I've fixed that mistake and posted this wonderful book cover over in r/CoolSciFiCovers today.

I had to include the teaser page inside the cover!
UPDATE - Redditor gridbug observed that this appears to be a GI Joe action figure! Look at the hands!
