Merraxen

The Merraxen were an ancient race of peoples whom orginally inhabitted Korriban. This race thrived in the days prior to the Old Republic and couninued to remain strong until the Great Galactic Civil War, in which Melli Elmu nearly destroyed the race.

Earlly Days
Little is known about the merraxen in their earlly days, or even how they came to inhabit Korriban. It is known that they came from another galaxy, many thousands of years before the rise of the Republic. Dispite their war-like culture they managed to stay at peace with native sith and Korribanites. They chose rather to fight each other. Many wars were fought between the merraxen tribes. Utimently, they were all counquered by a simple warlord who formed the Dark Riegn and premoted the teachings of the dark side.

Dark Reign
The Dark Reign began a long tredition of dark side users amongst the merraxen. Many powerful merraxen were born, and enlisted in the army before they could even walk. This resulted in a powerful fighting force.
