N'Akkiarla

"These people are highly proud of their heritage and ancestry, their top priority appears to be to show their warrior ancestors that they are worthy of the warrior-blood flowing their veins. An example of this is the most common pre-battle speech "Ny Grooxi, um ress deo bresk tra gambra jri'volarinapo a'shtrulkahyo k'e'ratroa" which means "My cousins, on this day we prove we are worthy of our glorious ancestor's respect". This militaristic pride means they usually put conflict over diplomacy. Nevertheless they follow a code of honour and are highly honourable, they only fight for the good of their people and friends, they regard sacrificing one's own life to save that of a friend or loved one to be the most honourable thing one can do, they greatly respect and even pray to their enemies which sacrificed themselves for their friends. They loathe mercs and ones who fight for nothing but money.'' ''Formerly the owners of the N'Akkiarlian Humans these people now consider themselves to be the progenitor to the N'Akkiarlian Human, their legacy. They love humans so much because their own people created the humans. Many xenobiologists believe that we humans are distant descendants and that these people maybe the earliest fully-sapient ancestors of humanity."

- The Encyclopaedia of Members of the Galaxy (100th edition) by Brena Jerla c. 7,000

The N'Akkiarla (N'Akkiarlian for a member of the N'Akkiarla) were a warm-blooded species of Synapsidian descent who came from the N'Akkiarl system, a system far beyond the boundary of the galaxy. As Synapsids these people were close to being mammals except they retained more of the pre-mammalian synapsid ancestry than the mammals did, which made them look more like reptiles. "Hundreds of millions of years ago we were reptiles, over the eons we changed to survive and turned into mammals. The N'Akkiarla did not need to evolve into true mammals like we did since they were not faced with the same extinction events as we were, the N'Akkiarla are stuck half-way between our Pelycosaurian ancestors and being mammalian humans. They are part mammalian since they are warm-blooded and feed their young on milk. They are a link between us and our reptilian past."

- A Human Xenobiologist speaking about Synapidian N'Akkiarla

As warm-blooded Synapsids they were fascinating to the Humans, who thought of them as a "link" in the vague area of pre-Mammalian Human ancestry, when the ancestors of Humanity were reptiles. Most Humans knew that the N'Akkiarla were one possible branch of human evolution. They fought for a century to create their large empire, the most famous being the N'Akkiarlian-Jussk'Ravgarok War several tens of thousand years before they invaded the galaxy.

Despite loving combat and aggression they were very honourable and they were loving to those they cared about. At first Non-N'Akkiarlians believed they didn't have a loving, compassionate side - only an aggressive, war-worshipping side which desired to conquer and enslave every sentient species in the universe. This was because they had never seen how loving and emotional a N'Akkiarlian father was when witnessing the birth of his child or hugging his child. They had also never seen the love shared between partners.

One thing that angered N'Akkiarlians alot was how the "Alien Human" from the "Coruscant Galaxy" thought of them as unloving brutes when there were so many Humans full of hate who only desired to hurt as many people as possible. They also resented how some Humans thought of them as stupid when the Humans had the lowest intelligence of any species they had discovered.

"You lot have no idea of the concept of "love". You are little more than aggressive brutes, we will fight to death before we become your slaves!"''' '''"*Roar* Your kind are more similar to us than you think because you're our distant children - we were your first fathers, we civilised you. Before us you were uncivilised primitives who lived in caves. We arrived and the ape-like primitive humans worshipped us as gods. Your kind should join with your distant brothers and together we can rule two galaxies!"

- A N'Akkiarlian getting mad at a Human P.O.W

However they did know that the N'Akkiarlian had a loyal side with loving in it. They knew that a N'Akkiarlian would go into a mad suicidal rage and try to kill as many enemies as possible after witnessing the death of a "brother". But they underestimated how much love the N'Akkiarla felt.

These people were the creators of the N'Akkiarlian Humans and were regarded as fathers by the humans. Many members of this people were a parent to an "Alien Human" from the "Coruscant Galaxy".

One thing these people really loved was when their children hugged them. They believed that this was one of most lovely things.

Biology and Physiology
"Phew! Look at those muscles! I'll tell you something you N'Akkiarlian girls are lucky to have such gorgeous guys!"'' "Yeah, ve zertainly are. Ov courze, their musclez are not the only reazon ve like them..." "Oh yeah, of course, their clothes. I mean look at what he's wearing! Doesn't cover much does it?" "True, but I vazz actually referring to their zveet-talking." "Ah, yes, they're very romantic. They could get a girl into bed using only their charm!" "Yes, they are can be very romantic" "I'm gonna go and chat him up." ''"Good luck!"

- A Human woman from Nar Shaddaa and a N'Akkiarlian Human woman watching N'Akkiarlian men, giving examples of theories as to why women find them irresistible These people were reptomammals (see "History" for a description of a Reptomammal). Like most sentient species the males were more muscular than the females. It was believed these muscles were partly the reason as to why women of all different species were attracted to them. As mentioned it seemed that they were naturally "better equipped" to attract females there were several reasons proposed as to why this is like: their large muscles, their some-what revealing clothing, their virility and their talents at being romantic. It is likely that it was a combination of these factors rather than just one.

With an average height of 7 feet-7 feet 6 inches N'Akkiarla towered over humans, whose average was only around 5 feet 9 inches. Their height was one of the reasons why the Human soldiers feared them during the war. The other reason was because they loved to use their longswords, which was given to them on their 20th birthday when they entered adulthood, which looked very "mean". They loved to charge the humans because they enjoyed seeing the look of terror on their faces upon seeing giants (to them at least) sprinting towards them with swords.

"As brave as the short aliens are they panic when they see us charging them with our longswords, can't say I blame them really."

- A N'Akkiarlian commenting on the human's fear of N'Akkiarlian sword charges

As with many species females were a little bit shorter, the average female height was around 7 feet. This was partly due to testosterone and because females started growing before males. Aside from their height it was possible to tell the difference between males and females because females were less muscular than humans and had more pronounced breasts than males, the differences between males and females were the same as the differences between male and female humans.

Because of their height and (for males) their huge muscles many humans felt intimidated (or even scared) by their size. When they joined their galaxy they wondered why the humans were so wary of them.

"Vhy do you fear uz? Ve are memberz of your galaxy now. Ve vill try and help you, not kill you like during the vorr."''' "It's your size, it intimidates us. You're about 7 feet tall whilst we're about 6 feet tall. We only reach your stomachs, we have to crane our necks to your heads. Aside from the fact you're twice as tall as us your muscles are huge. We are weary of you because we don't want to mess with someone with muscles as large as your people's men have. Also you did charge our ancestors in blood-chilling sword charges, to see an army of giants charging you with longswords is, to put it simply, terrifying!" "Vell, I apologize for my height and huge muscles then." "It's not you, it's just a survival instinct to be weary of things far larger than yourself. I'd bet you don't have such an instinct since you're so gigantic." "Hmmm, very interezting!" "I bet you think of us as midgets." '''"Not midgetz, ve care not your size. You are shorter than uz, ve juzt accept that fact. Bezidez, your bravery during the vorr made you look like giantz!"

- A N'Akkiarlian and a Human discussing why Humans are intimidated by the N'Akkiarlians

Despite the usual height being between 7 foot and 8 foot there were many N'Akkiarlia over the years who were not this tall. The shortest ever fully-grown N'Akkiarlian was Xytar 'Yuzz-Raxgarnizo (who was known as "Shortie") who was only 6'0 (1.83 metres) as an adult at 20 until his death at the age of 118, a dwarf by N'Akkiarlian standards. Before becoming famous as the shortest ever N'Akkiarlian he was a victim of heightism and was bullied as a child for being so short. Despite being so short he did manage to marry and have children, he married 7'3 Yolora 'ZZra-Zanataria and they become celebrities. Although she was a giant to him she didnt care about height - she loved and him so she married him, her family werent pleased at her marrying such a short man but she said they were heightist like the rest of society and married him anyway.

The tallest ever N'Akkiarlian was believed to be the legendary battle commander Ezkrva 'Utiarupanata-Xurgilgranarr who was estimated to be around 12ft (3.658 metres), which would make taller than practically all known sentient species.

Like their human counterparts males had high amounts of testosterone which gave them a high libido, which was partly responsible for their need of an empire (they had a population explosion). Females were usually less muscular than the males, females gave birth to one child at a time. Pregnancies usually lasted between 6-8 months and the mother could get pregnant again virtually immediately after giving birth. Most N'Akkiarlian couples had between 1-10 children in a lifetime. The record for the largest number of children by a single male was set by the First N'Akkiarlian King, Tvzitargi'Nomida-Zengratilgateri, who fathered 238 children in his lifetime, thanks to his many wives.

They were also capable of interbreeding with the N'Akkiarlian Humans, hybrid children were very common. Biologically speaking every member of this species was a parent of the humans, due to the fact that humans shared 98% of their DNA with them. They were somewhat compatible with other humans, it was known that a N'Akkiarlian and a human could create either Human or N'Akkiarlian children (depending on which partner's DNA was dominant) but a pregnancy was not gauranteed.

Diseases
As with all living things these people suffered from diseases, it seemed that humans could catch them as well. When the N'Akkiarla joined the galaxy they brought their diseases to galactic worlds and they spread fast around the human populations. They had managed to eradicate most diseases but were unable to eradicate these diseases:


 * Arrowlung
 * A viral infection that infected one of the lungs, caused a terrible "stabbing" pain in a small patch of the lung, as if pierced by an arrow.
 * Notable sufferers:
 * Kadran Lopra, senator of New Coruscant during the 77th Century ABY


 * Brronigar's leg
 * A viral infection which caused the infected limb (almost always one of the legs) to turn a blood-red color which didn't leave the victim once infected. Named after Brronigar 'Vrigo-Tzazagravuldena, a N'Akkiarlian doctor with blood-red skin who researched the illness.


 * Swollen heart
 * A bacterial infection of the heart which caused severe inflammation. The only symptom was severe chest pains, the disease was deadly as it could cause a heart attack or cardiac arrest.


 * Mad coughing disease
 * A bacterial/viral/fungal infection of the lungs which caused very severe coughing, it was named because the non-stop coughing had been known to make many sufferers angry and mad. Could cause pneumonia.


 * Starving disease
 * A disease which was caused by a parasitic protozoan in the stomach which "ate" food in the stomach before the food had the chance to release energy, giving the sufferer a feeling of constant hunger. If severe could cause malnutrition, hence the name.

Pre-centralised government
Not much is known about their origins but it is believed they came from N'Akkiarl Major and had been concluded that they were Reptomammals (e.g. they looked like Reptiles but they give birth to live young like Mammals do) of Synapsid descent and as such were closer to humanity and the mammals than to true reptiles. They were believed to have created the other sentient Synapsid species which called the N'Akkiarl System "Home", their "legacy", the N'Akkiarlian Humans.

It is believed that around 4 million years before the formation of the unified N'Akkiarlian culture they, by unknown means, discovered the ability to travel between galaxies and found the The Galaxy and took it over, there are many theories about how they managed to build this technology. Some say a long-extinct race taught them how to create such technology whilst others say that the N'Akkiarla are an incredibly ancient race - stretching back to at least 20,000,000 BBY and over millions of years their super-intelligence helped them to develop hyper-advanced technology.

It is believed that they had cultural and genetic influences on the primitive ancestors of the Humans, the very few known ancient legends about the N'Akkiarlian colonisation of what they would later know as the "Coruscant Galaxy" mention relationships between the primitive humans and their "gods". Many humans who believe such theories say that humanity gets its militaristic traits and its thirst for conquest from the N'Akkiarla. They also claim that the reason Humans dont look as reptilian as N'Akkiarlians is because after millions of years of breeding amongst humans the N'Akkiarlian DNA has been to watered-down to the point in which it dont affect physical appearance.

It is unknown why the N'Akkiarla suddenly left the galaxy but it is theorised that a catastrophy happened. The "Catastrophy Theory" is backed up by evidence from texts from the time, the texts make scant references to a catastrophy which killed most of the N'Akkiarlian colonists and caused the rest to flee and put the galaxy under a 5 million year-long quarantine. What the catastrophy was is unknown, some say it was natural like famine, drought or a huge outbreak of disease whilst other say another as-of-yet unknown species invaded the galaxy and the N'Akkiarlians were utterly defeated defending their colonies.

Ancient legends said that N'Akkiarlian civilisation began after the N'Akkiarl-Mzenra War around about the year 1,000,000 BBY when the state of N'Akkiarl and her allies fought the rogue state of Mzenra in one of the largest wars their kind had ever fought. According to the legend the large state of N'Akkiarl had numerous peace treaties and alleigences with the other states but one state, the state of Mzenra rebelled and attacked the state of N'Akkiarl.

In response to the attack N'Akkiarl and her allied states formed one of the largest armies ever seen and after a war which lasted 200 years crushed Mzenra and absorbed it, forming the First N'Akkiarlian Empire. N'Akkiarl put forward an idea to ensure peace, the other states would submit to N'Akkiarl and this would ensure peace and unit among their species. It took a while to convince the other kings to give up their power to the state of N'Akkiarl but in the end the King of N'Akkiarl managed to covince them. The other kingdoms joined the First N'Akkiarlian Empire and there began N'Akkiarlian civilisation.

Formation of the N'Akkiarlian Star Empire
Around 32,950 BBY the N'Akkiarlian races fought the N'Akkiarlian-Jussk'Ravgarok War against the insectoid Jussk-Ravgarok.

The Great N'Akkiarlian War
For 5 months after re-entering the galaxy the N'Akkiarla carved a path to the core worlds (the center of politics in the galaxy) through the Perlemian worlds. The N'Akkiarla enslaved the populations of conquered worlds, used them as laborers, and slave-soldiers. After subjugating the Perlemian Trade Route worlds the N'Akkiarla came up against the Neimoidian Purse Worlds. They invaded Koru Neimoidia and quickly defeated the Neimoidian and GFSS defense forces. However the Allied forces regrouped and launched the Battle of Koru Neimoidia. However in the end the N'Akkiarlian army was defeat by Neimoidian super-artillery. The dreadnought Ezkrva 'Utiazrupanata-Xurgilgranarr bombarded the Allied army from orbit after the battle was won by the Allied forces and destroyed it. Fortunately the GFSSNS Courage at Yavin was about five parsecs was away and agreed to the request for help by the Koru Neimoidia Commanders. The bombers were launched against the dreadnought, despite taking heavy casualties (about half of all bombers) the dreadnought was severely damaged by the proton bombs, however the dreadnought was not completely destroyed, rather put out of action. The Courage at Yavin bombarded it and destroyed it.

The battle had finally been won by the Allies, and the galaxy finally realized that the N'Akkiarla were not invincible, slaves all over N'Akkiarla-conquered space began a revolution against their "masters", however there were no-where near as well equipped and trained as their owners. The total death toll at the end of the war was about 3 billion. However the revolution distracted N'Akkiarlian attention away from vital targets, making it easier for the Allies to attack them. Eventually the jackpot was in reach, the N'Akkiarlan Grand Fleet over Cato Neimoidia. The Allies decided to take the gamble, at exactly 12:32 Coruscant Time the Allied fleet left hyperspace near Cato Neimoidia starting the monstrous Battle of Cato Neimoidia. The Allies won the battle and the N'Akkiarla was forced to surrender, their punishment for their war crimes was banishment from the galaxy for 5,000 years. Because of the slavery and attacks upon civilian vessels Anti-N'Akkiarlianism continued until around 4,000 ABY&mdash;a full 3,000 years after the war had ended.

In the year 6,000 the ban expired and the N'Akkiarla once again entered the galaxy, by this time a new sub-species had appeared, the "Homo-N'Akkiarla". This sub-species was comprised of N'Akkiarla with Human ancestry, many members had inherited traits from their distant Human ancestors (like hair and human skin). The sub-species was created from the Human slaves which were taken back to the N'Akkiarl System during the war who bred with their N'Akkiarlian owners (whether this was voluntary or forced is currently unknown). Because they were of alien ancestry this species was considered "dirty-blooded" by the N'Akkiarlian pure-bloods and were the lowest social class, being treated only marginally better than slaves. They had no right to take part in any N'Akkiarlian culture and any part of N'Akkiarlian life. Despite being of part-N'Akkiarlian descent. Fortunately most humans of the galaxy sympathized with their less-fortunate cousins so they took the Homo-N'Akkiarla in and treated them as equal citizens. After this the Homo-N'Akkiarla became firm friends with the baseline Humans.

The Coruscant Republic was angry at the N'Akkiarlian races over their treatment of the Homo-N'Akkiarla, which was in gross violation of the Sentient Rights Charter. The arguments raged for 90 years until the N'Akkiarla, finally, backed down and promised to treat the Homo-N'Akkiarla, equally, in return, the GFSS accepted their request to enter the Republic. Upon entry into the Republic many N'Akkiarla immigrated into the galaxy where they led relatively normal lives and force-sensitive individuals were trained by the Jedi. Around 30,000 ABY the Jedi, led by N'Akkiarlian Jedi, headed for the N'Akkiarl Galaxy to let the N'Akkiarlians of the galaxy know they no longer had to be slaves to their king. However the vast majority decided to reject the Jedis' treasonable words and remained loyal to their King, there were a few which spoke out against the King but they only made up about 15% of the population, since 85% of the N'AKkiarlian population remained loyal their Anti-Monarchist arguments never really received much thought and were barely listened to by the majority, fearing execution as traitors the Anti-Monarchists decided to give up trying to bring about a Common people's revolt against the King.

In the year 17,299 ABY the descendants of the Jussk'Ravgarok who manged to flee from the Jussk'Ravgarok system before it was absorbed into the Star Empire returned to the galaxy and invaded it. Using 50,000 year old starships which their distant ancestors had fled in they landed on multiple worlds and killed many N'Akkiarlians before the N'AKkiarlian Star Empire and the "Coruscant Galaxy" defeated them. Several worlds were ravaged by the Jussk'Ravgarok.

The Jussk'Ravgarok eventually had to resort to kamikaze attacks on enemy starships because they would rather die than become like their slave brethren. After the invasion had been crushed the N'Akkiarlians located the planet where they were hiding and obliterated it, making free Jussk'Ravgarok extinct.

Both the N'Akkiarla and the Humans were heavily damaged in the year 193,283 ABY when they fought a large war against an unknown invader, the N'Akkiarlians won but their galaxy was ravaged. The N'Akkiarlians living in the "Coruscant Galaxy" felt deeply sad and enraged by the deaths of trillions of their cousins, around 80% if their two species were wiped out, threatening them with early extinction. Fortunatly the N'Akkiarlians compensated for this by having lots of children and after several centuries their numbers had been restored, many then returned to their ancestral home to re-populate and rebuild their worlds which were starting to recover.

Nearly 7,000 years later in 200,000 ABY the N'Akkiarlian commoners kicked out the monarchy during the N'Akkiarlian Commoners Revolution. King Arquro 'Zvingo-Szernisolaksjo was removed from office the monarchy was abolished.

After the Common People's victory the two N'Akkiarlian races, hand in hand, forged a new period in their history. This new period was based on peace and harmony, the N'Akkiarlians gave up their aggression and led peaceful lives using their vast intelligence to produce new drugs etc for the good of their galaxies and the less-intelligent beings within them. N'Akkiarlian Science and Wisdom went through a renaissance after being in decline since the time of the formation of their Star Empire. They were a credit to the universe.

Government
"The shadow of our King covers the whole of our galaxy! All of our galaxy is part of our glorious empire!"

- A N'Akkiarlian on the N'Akkiarlian Star Empire

The N'Akkiarlian government was called the N'Akkiarlian Star Empire which covered the whole of the N'Akkiarl Galaxy. The ultimate leader was the King, he ruled everything in the N'Akkiarl Galaxy. He had several aides which helped him run the Empire.

After joining the Coruscant Republic' the position of  Imperial Senator was established, the Imperial Senator would represent the King, the Empire and the N'Akkiarlian People in the Galactic Senate.

The Empire was at its largest in the 1000 ABY after capturing several galactic worlds (e.g. Quermia) during the Great N'Akkiarlian War.

Relationship with Galactic Humans
"You think yourzelf as better than uz? Do not forget that it vaz uz who civilised and created you. How does it feel knowing you were once one of uz?''" "We are not related! We have nothing in common, you are my enemy!" "You are our children, for eons ve have vatched you - fathers vatching their sons. Ve are impressed at how you have created a galactic civilization, join us and together our zpeciez' vill rule all other life-formz! You cannot ezcape from your family! You should be proud of vhere you come from!" "I am, but none of us are from your kind!" "Argue all you vant, my child, but you cannot ezcape the fact that you're of our blood - my blood!" "I am not yours!" "Yes you are, ve even did a blood tezt on you!!" "But...I can't be! I'm a pure human! ''"Sorry, but you're not pure. You're part N'Akkiarlian, which you get from me. I would advise you stop being racist against both your own father and his N'Akkiarlian brothers and sisters."

- An argument between a N'Akkiarlian (who tries to get the Anti-N'Akkiarlian to join them) and an Anti-N'Akkiarlian (who believes the N'Akkiarlians are only good for slaves), referencing the many different theories that Humans were civilized by the N'Akkiarla and are descended from them. The N'Akkiarlian then reveals he is in fact the racist human's father

Ancient human legends from many millennia ago (estimated to be five million years before the formation the Republic and the Jedi Order) tell of "multi-colored Gods", Gods of all different colors: white, black, red, purple, green etc who lived on numerous planets in The Galaxy and civilized Humanity and built a society with them and apparently relationships with the Gods were common (Historians now know this to be the earliest documented evidence of interspecies relationships) and a new race was created. Upon acquiring the knowledge to build, Humans built temples to their Gods. Prior to the discovery of the N'Akkiarla Scholars and Historians had no idea what species was being depicted in the temple murals. When the N'Akkiarlia made contact and began the Great War with their distant descendants scholars quickly realised that they were at war with the species which had a good chance of being the first intelligent ancestors of the Humans.

"This is really odd! These newly-discovered people are depicted on ancient temples murals within temples our earliest human ancestors built to a previously unknown species. The legends and stories on the walls of the temples all say that these people we are now fighting (the Gods) are the creators of smart humans, us! It seems that the Gods had children with the primitive humans and we are those children! Maybe these "N'Akkiarla", as they call themselves, have returned to take back their long-lost children!"

- A scholar speaking about the possibility that the N'Akkiarla could be the earliest truly sentient ancestors of humans

Initially of the greatest mysteries was the language the legends were written in, which was language which had not been seen anywhere in the Galaxy (Study of N'Akkiarlian shows remarkable similarities between the two languages, meaning the language the legends are written in could be Ancient N'Akkiarlian). Once discovering the N'Akkiarlians and their language and studying them for many years, Scholars and Historians came up with the conclusion the the N'Akkiarlians used to have colonies in the Galaxy, discovered Humanity, saw their capability for intelligence and thus civilized them and forged a society but for some unknown reason left the galaxy, leaving humanity to their own devices.

Some claim that the Honorable warrior, militaristic and bloodthirsty traits many Humans show could be inherited from the N'Akkiarla which lived alongside humanity many thousands of years ago, the same people also claim that if this theory is true then the "N'Akkiarla" could be "Living Ancestors" of all of the Humans of the Galaxy, these claims are currently being investigated. If these claims turn out to be true then the old classification of "Baseline Human" will be obsolete, because the seemingly "pure" Humans would have at least a little alien blood, meaning there would be no such thing as a "Baseline" Human.

Another theory of a possible familial relationship between Humans and N'Akkiarla is bone structure, aside from their skull shape Human and N'Akkiarlian skeletal structure is virtually identical. The N'Akkiarla possessed the same amount of ribs, same joints, same number of fingers and toes etc as Humans did, therefore it was concluded that Humanity could be related to the N'Akkiarla, if not descended from them.

The theories were commonly used as counter-arguments by N'Akkiarlians arguing with Anti-N'Akkiarlians, claiming that according to the theories the Anti-N'Akkiarlians hate their own forefathers.

However it appears that it wasn't just the earliest humans who wrote legends about aliens, ancients texts from N'Akkiarlian temples say that the earliest N'Akkiarlians found and were worshipped by mysterious beings on some of the planets they colonized, the descriptions given sounded a lot like descriptions of humans, further re-enforcing the theories.

After joining the galaxy the N'Akkiarla and Humans had many inter-species relationships with each other, the N'Akkiarla mentioned that after their own kind Humans were the most beautiful and were thus only willing to have relationships with either their own kind or Humans. Many N'Akkiarlians, especially those who human children, saw it as ironic that many humans were Anti-NAkkiarlian even though they are descended from the N'Akkiarla and many Anti-N'Akkiarlians had N'Akkiarlian mothers and fathers and they didn't even know it.

"You N'Akkiarlians are scum, you killed thousands of ancestors, enslaved many more and performed numerous war crimes!''" "Ve're zcum? Who is descended from uz? That'z right, you humanz. Who iz your daddy? I am!""You're not my father!" "Yez I am, me and and your mother did a blood tezt on you, you are mine! As your dad i beg you to stop being so racist against your brotherz and zizterz!" "I am sorry, father. Should I give you a big hug to say sorry?" "If you vont to hug me then pleaze do" "Father, why don't you, me and mum go home to N'Akkiarl Major to see where a lot of my ancestry came from?" ''"A very good idea, zon!"

- A chat between an Anti-N'Akkiarlian and a N'Akkiarlian, the Anti-N'Akkiarlian quickly realises that he is talking to his N'Akkiarlian father and he soon abandons his racist viewpoint

Politics and galactic relations
The N'Akkiarla were well known by the members of the galaxy for putting conflict before diplomacy, because of their military-based society. They were most infamous for the Great N'Akkiarlian War, a war which the galaxy would never forget.

After the war, they were banished from re-entering the galaxy for 5,000 years, so proper Galactic Relations were not established until 6,090; the GFSS argued with the N'Akkiarla over their treatment of the "Homo-N'Akkiarla" for 90 years after the N'Akkiarlian banishment expired and they were allowed to enter the galaxy. Despite being a combat-orientated society, the N'Akkiarla did have representatives in the Galactic Senate and an embassy on Coruscant. The first Senator was named "Jyoznarr 'Burr-Hureg", he held his position for 50 years until he retired from the position in the year 7,040, becoming a senior advisor to the second Senator, a young, head-strong N'Akkiarlian named "Vlorinag 'Zzyan-Kunimarzabezkando" who believed more on increasing the influence of the N'Akkiarlian sentients in the galaxy rather than improving relations which was his predecessor's top priority. Apparently he frequently sought 'Burr-Hureg's advice and took 'Burr-Hureg's advice more seriously than that of his other advisors, seeing him as a wise old man who could help him stay in good stead with the Senate and as someone who had a lot more experience in the political arena than he had.

After joining the Federation the N'Akkiarla had either good or neutral relations with all of the species they had discovered apart from their mortal enemies, the Jussk'Ravgarok, whom they had the deepest hatred of. They were most friendly with the peoples of other monarchies, like the Hapans since they shared ideals and used the same form of government.

Relationship with the N'Akkiarlian Humans
"Zon, why do fight againzt your own fathers? Just because the enemy looks more zimilar to you than to uz doesn't mean you are related to them more than uz. You are a creation of my people, ve are your parentz. Do not turn againzt your own family for this vermin! Don't forget that our blood, the blood of our two peoplez' glorious forefatherz flowz through you, don't dishonour your blood!"

- A N'Akkiarlian speaking to a N'Akkiarlian Human who has defected to the GFSS

Because the Human species was practically the direct descendants of their species, the N'Akkiarla loved them like how a mother loves her child, they had a "Blood-bond", a "Blood-bond" was basically the relationship shared between very close family - e.g. the relationship between parents and child, the relationship between brother and sister.

"Why do you love the humans from your galaxy yet loathe us?"''' '''"Because you weak aliens are nothing like our Human children! Also unlike our Human children your people are not our children, the Humans that fight alongside us are of our creation. They are our flesh-and-blood, they accept us as their fathers and they embrace the fact that they were made by us. Do not try to compare yourself to our Human children!"

The two species very rarely fought each other as they felt a kinship, since they both hailed from the same planets. There were a few arguments throughout history, but these were very spaced out.

Most N'Akkiarla treated the Human natives like their own flesh and blood because, as mentioned above, the ultimate ancestors of the Humans were their own kind, they regarded human natives as slightly-modified versions of themselves.

The N'Akkiarlian Humans had a nickanme for N'Akkiarlian blood, they called it "Bluder a'Vatha" ("Father's Blood").

Witnessing the death of a fellow N'Akkiarlian was one of the things that had been known to send all N'Akkiarlian beings from both species into a Blood-rage, when in a blood-rage one would loose control, they would let out a huge roar and go beserk, killing every single enemy they see, until their blood-lust had been satisfied and their fallen brother had been avenged. After the blood-rage the "Beserker", as they're known, would rest on one knee beside their fallen brother, they would then close their dead eyes (if they were still open) and (if killed in combat) read the Prayer for a Fallen Warrior which went something like this: "Lord Drooxda 'Yuzra-Krongri [N'Akkiarlian God of War], please accept this brave, honourable warrior into your Legions of Honour. Let him join his fallen brothers from other battles long ago. Please, accept his warrior soul into your ranks, J'ukra [Amen]".

The N'Akkiarlian would then take his fallen brother back to base for the Wake in which all the warriors would feast in their fallen brothers' honour.

"*Roar* You have killed one my brothers! Prepare to meet your end!"

- A N'Akkiarlian entering a blood-rage

The Blood-rage terrified the life out of the GFSS soldiers who had the misfortune to be near the N'Akkiarlian entering it, practically all GFSS soldiers feared having to face a very angry giant who wants to kill all enemies. There were many cases of Humans being ripped to pieces or being ripped open by bare hands by N'Akkiarlians in a blood-rage.

Practically all members of this species had at least one human child, most had around 3-4 human children, some humans didn't know their true parent was a N'Akkiarlian (strangely this was more true of fathers than mothers), like the case of a human child who thought her dad was a human only to find out her true father was a N'Akkiarlian who was friends with her mother and was just visiting her mother when they ended up creating her: "Hello"'' "Hello, how are you? How'z your dad?" "He's good" "Oh, that'z good." "Are you my real dad?" "Vott do you mean? "I overheard you and mum speaking" "Hmmm, yez, I am your real father." "Zo, I guezz I zhould give you a big hug then, Dad!" ''"Ok then, give your father a hug!"

Military
"Surrender now or you will be exterminated! You have two choices: 1) Become my servants or 2) Resist me and die! If you choose to resist my god-given powers of control over you then fire and death will rain from the skies upon every world! My subjects will sweep across you like waves over a beach! The might of my military is unmatched through-out the stars! Either way I WILL be the master of you, you will grovel and bow to me! If you choose to resist I will see to it that the people your race are turned into the people of my race! In other words, resist me and the only children your women will be having will be ours! Your people will return to the being the people of your progenitors and your eternal masters!"

- The N'Akkiarlian King ordered the GFSS to submit to him at the very beginning of the Great N'Akkiarlian War

The N'Akkiarlian Star Empire possessed one of the largest and most well-equipped militaries ever seen in galactic history, it was massive.

The combined military of the GFSS barely numbered enough to mount a reasonable-sized defence to the N'Akkiarlian Imperial Military. It was estimated that the N'Akkiarlian Imperial Navy outnumbered the GFSSN by about 3-1 and the GFSSA was outnumbered by the Imperial Army by about 5-1.

They had a very high level technology, their ships possessed a drive which gave them the ability to travel between galaxies within hours and days, they possessed plasma guns, rifles which fired highly-concentrated plasma beams which disintigrated enemies, nanite guns which fired nanobots which disintigrated all they made contact with, their ships possessed shields so strong only the heaviest anti-ship weaponry could bring them down, nanobots which could heal all wounds, even ones made by laser bolts, goggles which let them see through walls, obstacles and the like as well in the dark. During the war they were prototyping a superlaser with the three times the power of the Death Star's superlaser but small enough to be able to fit within a Destroyer's hangar bay.

Culture
N'Akkiarlian culture was based around combat and honour. The N'Akkiarlian Warriors had to fight in battle to prove their Warrior ancestors that they were worthy of the warrior blood in them. It was the greatest honor for a N'Akkiarla to serve in the military. One of their favorite things to do was to march to the sound of deep booms of war drums, something every N'Akkiarlian does at some point in their life, the deep booms of war drums apparently awaken the warrior spirit within them, since many Humans and N'Akkiarlian Humans have the same experience when marching to war drums some outlandish claims have developed about this trait (like many other militaristic traits shown by many Humans) being inherited from the N'Akkiarla. Because their culture was based on honour they hated mercenaries and Bounty Hunters, whom they regarded as dishonourable and an insult to the honour of their species because they fight for money, not for their friends, their leader or their survival. When they joined the Republic many humans learnt about their new neighbour's culture. Respecting and loving the fact that it was based on combat and honour many militaristic humans from the "Coruscant Galaxy" moved to the N'Akkiarl Galaxy and changed their culture to the N'Akkiarlian culture, the N'Akkiarlians welcomed them.

Upon reaching adulthood at the age of 20 N'Akkiarlians were given their personal sword which to them was a part of themselves. Generally Battle Commanders and upper-class N'Akkiarlians were given the largest and meanest looking swords to intimidate their enemies and to show their position in society. A N'Akkiarlian's sword told people where he or she was in society, the larger and meaner the sword the higher in society the owner was. The lowest of the low usually only received a Dagger, no-where near as large or mean as the King's longsword.

Although they followed the same culture females were noticeably less war-loving and eager to conquer than males. The females were also more diplomatically-minded than males. It was commonly believed that one of the reasons why females were so important to the N'Akkiarlians was they mellowed the males' urge to dominate and conquer a little bit. Despite it being honourable to treat P.O.Ws with respect and to take care of the enemy's children many of the males did not do this. It was upto the females to look after P.O.Ws and children and to protect them from the males' brutality.

As was the case with most sentients at one point the females were not treated equally, they were once dominated by the males, however they became equals when civilisation began in 1,000,000 BBY and they became politicians and scientists due to their more diplomatic nature and higher overall intelligence than males. It was unknown why this was, but it was believed the amount of testerone in the males made them less intelligent and more aggressive for some reason.

It was because of this domination that most members of the Emancipation Party to free the Humans from their slavery were females who sympathised with the Human slaves since their ancestors had been in the same position as them, the females knew how their distant pre-civilisation ancestors had been controlled so they wanted to help their Human comrades-in-arms who were being dominated. The humans were eventually freed from male domination and helped females enter the male-only military, after being successful in this they helped the males enter female-only politics.

After losing the Great War the N'Akkiarlian males were very angry at their loss but the females persuaded the males that they had deserved to loose for trying to conquer a different galaxy and very brave and some-what intelligent peoples. It was females that persuaded the males to go back to the "Coruscant Galaxy" after the ban from returning ran out and open relations with the "Alien Humans".

If there was one thing the N'Akkiarlian races really did respect it was the act of giving up one's life to save that of their friend or loved one, which they regarded as the most honourable thing one can do. They even respected and prayed for their enemies who demonstrated this skill. When sentenced to an "Honourable Execution" the sentenced person would have the opportunity to "save" their friend's life. How the execution would work was the executioner would pretend to be about to shoot the sentenced person's friend, the sentenced person would "take the bullet" for their friend, they executed person would then die with honour.

Other Culture
Prior to joining the galaxy they were very xenophobic, only having respect and admiration (and even love) for their Human cousins. However after joining the Galaxy and becoming a member of the Senate their xenophobic nature was mellowed a lot, though they still show xenophobic tendencies they are no-where as xenophobic as they were in the Pre-Great N'Akkiarlian War days. And by the year 14,000 ABY they liked many of the peoples belonging to monarchies however unusually they hated Republics despite being a member of the Coruscant Republic, this was because they believed a ruler should be one who directly serves the gods, not someone the Commoners vote for.

As with most organics these people loved to drink alcohol. One of the most common drinks they enjoyed was the ultra-strong N'Akkiarlian Ale, which was described by non-N'Akkiarlians as "caustic" and apparently only someone with an "armored digestive system" could drink it. N'Akkiarlians loved drink so much that there were rumors that they could live on alcohol like water. Drunk N'Akkiarlians were a very common sight in bars and cantinas all over their galaxy (and later, the "Coruscant Galaxy" when they joined it).

When drunk males would get rowdy and aggressive and normally pass out (if these people drunk they usually drank until becoming unconcsious). Whilst drunk females usually became sex-mad and tried to chat up every male they saw. They drunk so much that it was common for two N'Akkiarlians to become parents without even knowing they had created a child.

Despite their brutish appearance and combat-orientated culture these people were actually very intelligent (at least as intelligent as Humans, though many, if not most, were far more intelligent than Humans were), their average intelligence level being 200 - twice that of humans. They were sapient in every sense of the word. Although the fact that their culture was based around combat means they normally only used their high intelligence when deciding whether to attack another species or when devising new weapons in which to kill as many enemies as possible with the fewest possible losses. Although when they joined the "Coruscant Galaxy" they had the opportunity to use their intelligence for more than just killing. Not all members of this species were warriors, there were some who were Kings (albeit Warrior Kings), Explorers, Scientists, Doctors, Judges, Teachers, King's Advisors etc. They showed how intelligent they were when they created the technology needed to travel between galaxies.

Their super-intelligence was one reason why they didn't respect the "Alien Humans" during the Great War, to them the extra-galactic humans were feeble-minded and stupid. When the alien humans immigrated to the N'Akkiarl Galaxy they had to have special schools set up since the stuff being taught in N'Akkiarlian schools was too complicated for the Galactic Humans to understand.

This super-intelligence meant that during war they balanced their efforts between military victories and studying the enemy(ies) to find out weaknesses to exploit, they researched human anatomy by studying POWs and slaves and came up with a list of human weaknesses which could result in either an instant kill or disabling the human. These weaknesses were told to every warrior and this made them deadly in close-quaters combat.

List of instant kill or disabling moves compiled by N'Akkiarlian Xenobiologists after studying human anatomy:
 * Crush enemy's skull - Humans didn't have super strong skulls, so warriors could use their huge strength to crush a human's skull.


 * Snap enemy's back - The Human spine was not very strong and was not deep inside their bodies, a hard chop or landing on a human's back would snap the spine, imbolising the human for an easy coup de grace or a finishing move.


 * Crush enemy's chest - landing on a human's chest would crush it and make it very painful to breath, potentially suffocating the victim. The enemy would almost certainly be downed and a coup de grace would be easy.


 * Crush enemy's neck - If a human's neck was to be crushed then breathing would be impossible and the human would suffocate


 * Snap enemy's neck - If a human's neck was snapped then it would be an instant kill


 * Squeeze enemy's neck - If a human's neck was squeezed hard then the blood supply to the brain would be cut and the human would be brain-dead within a minute.

.... There were many rituals which were they performed, most of the rituals were ancient and regarded such issues and loyalty, dominance, class etc.

One of the most famous rituals was the Pledge of Loyalty, which was practiced by both the N'Akkiarla and the N'Akkiarlian Humans. In this ritual the person saying the pledge kneels before the receiver and says (translated into basic):

"O divine one! Do me the honor of accepting my pledge! To my most glorious ruler I pledge my body, mind and soul so my ruler may command me to do as he wishes!"

The receiver can either accept the pledge and take control of the giver's body, mind and soul or can refuse to accept and the giver will remain independent. This ritual was originally believed to have originated when the Humans became slaves but it has been discovered that the ritual is far more ancient, dating back to when Kingdoms were established.

The person giving the pledge is plainly giving up their Free will and giving themselves to their ruler.

Once accepted the giver no longer possessed their own body, mind, soul etc. They all belonged to the person they pledged them to (usually the king) and as such didn't have any free will since they were not an independent being because their body, mind and everything in their entire life was controlled by the person they gave the pledge to.

There was a hierarchy of who to pledge to, because the King could not see everybody. The Nobles would pledge their loyalty to the King, the Sheriffs would pledge their Loyalty to the Nobles and the Commoners would pledge their loyalty to the Sheriffs. Since the Sheriffs and Nobles had all pledged their loyalty to the king, the Commoner's pledge would travel down the line so they would've pledged their loyalty to the King and the Nobles at the same time as they pledged their loyalty to the Sheriff.

"It's such a cruel, nasty practice! The fact that somebody has the ability to control of another being and to totally dominate them for the rest of their life makes me sad! The most saddening thing is that the N'Akkiarlians actually consider it an honor to have their very essence of sentience removed so they become nothing more than automatons. When I witnessed a N'Akkiarlian giving away his own body and mind as well as his sentient rights I was actually weeping silent tears. I wish it would stop!"'' "I agree, but these people consider it a great honor to be dominated by their king, the servant of the gods. If they like it then why should we intefere?" "Because they're not robots! They are living beings who have rights! I only hope that now they are part of our Republic they will learn that they have the right to refuse giving their life to their ruler." ''"I can't argue with that."

- Two Coruscanti tourists who had watched the Pledge of Loyalty being performed discussing their thoughts on the ritual

"HA! You ztand here now and your zurvival depends on my clemency! You and the rest of my zubjectz vill alwayz bow before me, your controller. Zlavez vill alwayz bow before their mazter! Az it iz I'm not clement to traitors, you'll be executed in the morning"'' "Then I vill be a martyr to the cauze of zentient Rightz!" "No, you vill die a traitor and your fellow zlavez vill jeer at you!" "I vill die a free man!" ''"You vill die my zlave, vot you have been zince the moment your parentz created you! And vhen you are dead you vill serve me for eternity in the afterlife! Guards, take him away!"

Religion
The N'Akkiarlian religion had lots of gods (like the God of Creation, the God of War, the God of Life, the God of Chaos and the God of Death). They were worshipped because the N'Akkiarlians felt that the gods would reward them for their obedience. Each of the gods had to be prayed to for them to help, e.g. if someone wanted help keeping a loved one alive then they would pray to the God of Life.

The creator of everything was Sjzeki, the God of Creation. Sjzeki and Zkazztangiloriogna were the two oldest gods and had been born billions, if not trillions, of years before the universe. Within the first minute of Sjzeki creating the universe both he and Zkazztangilorgiona were fighting for everything there was as well everything in the future. If Sjzeki won then he would remain ruler of the universe and life would live peacefully and well. But if Zkazztangilorionga won then his power would be immeasurable and he would be the owner of everything and would enslave all life in every universe in existance. Fortunatly Sjzeki won and Zkazztangiloriogna's plan for universal domination was foiled.

One god the N'Akkiarlian races feared upsetting was Zkazztangiloriogna'Kjagartinayaa, the dragon God of Chaos.

The N'Akkiarlians believed that their Human cousins would be rewarded greatly in the next life for being so obedient to them. They also believed that the King/Queen was the physical representation of Sjzeki himself.

Distinctions
Despite being reasonably xenophobic against other species, they had good relations with their Human children. This species was the progenitor to the humans, due to this the humans felt they must obey the N'Akkiarla since they believed the N'Akkiarla were far older and wiser than them and because they used to be N'Akkiarla themselves before the N'Akkiarla began relations with the primitive Humans which resulted in them.

These people had nearly identical bodily structures as humans, the amount of bones, bone shape and appendages etc a N'Akkiarla possessed were the same as that of a human skeleton. This was strong evidence for the case of humans being descended from N'Akkiarla.

The Humans were fascinated by them as not only a "link" between them and their pre-mammalian ancestors but also the N'Akkiarla were probably the only species to give humans an idea of another branch of human evolution, Humans could very well have looked like the N'Akkiarla had there been changes in climate and extinction events etc.

Black and White N'Akkiarla were considered separate sub-species as they evolved differently; the Black N'Akkiarla evolved in the inner worlds, close to the star N'Akkiarl, whereas the White N'Akkiarla evolved in the outer worlds, furthest from the star. Prior to joining the Federation and agreeing to the Sentient Rights Charter Non-Black/White N'Akkiarla were considered genetic mutants, which caused a lot of racism. However after signing the Charter racism became rarer, a purple N'Akkiarlian even became the first senator for the N'Akkiarla.

Other distinctions included their high resistance to Force lightning and other Force powers, as well as their long names. It was quickly realized that mind tricks wouldn't work on them.

Because they were immune to mind tricks and most "Alien Humans" weren't they got mad when an "Alien Human" under their command got tricked. "I don't want to fight.""YOU FEEBLE-MINDED IDIOT! Can't you see he used a mind trick on you!?"

- A N'Akkiarlian getting angry at one of his men, a Human from Taris, who has been tricked by a Jedi

They have their own accent for Basic, they pronounce Ws as Vs, S' and Zs etc.

Like the Felucians, the Dark Side was known to twist the features of N'Akkiarlian until they looked like something out of a nightmare. The Dark Side also corrupted and destroyed their minds, reducing them to feral husks. Jedi found it saddening how such intelligent people could be reduce to mindless animals - destroyed by the perverting Dark Side. Due to the perversion of their brothers caused by the Dark Side the N'Akkiarlians learnt to despise the Sith and actively sought to cleanse the galaxy of their existance.

Behind the scenes
The N'Akkiarla had two designs, they were originally going look like this this but the writer felt that the design didn't fit the description enough. The writer then searched Aliens Species wiki and discovered the Sakkra, whom he felt fitted the description of a N'Akkiarlian perfectly.

The "Mad Coughing disease" was inspired by the writer's own experience with a coughing virus. The virus caused the writer to cough non-stop for a week, causing pain (even a bit of vomiting) and a reduced anger threshold due to the frustration at the coughing.

The idea for the First N'Akkiarlian King fathering 238 children came from Pharoah Ramses II who fathered around 100-110 children in his lifetime.
