N'Akkiarla

"The N'Akkiarla are a Pelycosaurian/Therapsidian race of Synapsidian descent, like humanity they are Synapsids. Unlike humanity they didn't evolve into true mammals so they look like reptiles because they retain more of there pre-mammalian synapsid ancestry than mammals. The N'Akkiarla are a brother species of mammals, they have aspects of mammalian biology and appear to be evolving into mammals. After declaring freedom from the Eoki around 20,000,000 years ago they formed a unified culture but later broke apart into tribes, around 5,000,000 years ago they colonised some of our galaxy and had genetic and cultural influences on the very distant ancestors of humanity, which maybe the cause of the love of war and fighting found in many humans. Around the year 1,001,000 BBY the State of N'Akkiarl was created by N'Akkiarl I, the chieftan of the N'Akkiarl Tribe, the first ever N'Akkiarlian King. 1,000 years later his descendant, N'Akkiarl VII fought the 200-year long N'Akkiarl-Mzenra War, which was won by the N'Akkiarlian Alliance. In 1,000 ABY the N'Akkiarla returned to our galaxy for the first time in 5,000,000 years and began the Great N'Akkiarlian War, after being defeated and banished for 5,000 years they peacefully returned to our galaxy 1,000 years ago in 6,000 ABY where they peacefully worked with us. In the past millenium N'Akkiarlian-Human relations have been improving and appear to continue to improve for the forseeable future."

- 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 Galaxy, a galaxy 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 than there mammalian cousins.

"Hundreds of millions of years ago we were reptiles, over the aeons 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 their Human cousins, 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, but there was a bit of confusion as it was also said that Humanity was also a possible branch of N'Akkiarlian 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. Though fathers did sometimes have trouble hugging newborn and young children, their huge muscles meant they had to be very careful not to hug too hard or theyd squeeze their child to death.

"Here's your new daughter, be careful how hard you hug her, i dont want you squeezing her to death!"

- A N'Akkiarlian mother to a N'Akkiarlian father

The N'Akkiarlians who fought in the Great N'Akkiarlian War were very sad and angry at how their human brothers and sisters chose to fight them, they were hoping for humanity to honour and respect their N'Akkiarlian heritage and join their brothers in conquering the galaxy for the N'Akkiarlian Star Empire but instead the humans chose to fight against their N'Akkiarlian family members and most N'Akkiarlians hoped the king would show mercy on their defeated human brothers, the humans were descended from N'Akkiarlian stock after all, they hated the idea of watching their human siblings kneeling at their feet and kissing their feet, they felt that no species with N'Akkiarlian blood running through its viens deserved such a fate, to be enslaved by their own family.

"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! And for the record your muscles may impress other human girls, but not me!"''' '''"*Roar* Your kind are more similar to us than you think because you're our distant children - we were your first fathers, we made you what you are! When we arrived 5,000,000 years ago we found uncivilised brutes, these brutes bowed before us and we realised they believed we were gods, after forging a civilisation we went to bed with our servants and in the end you modern humans were the result! You humans are dishonouring your N'Akkiarlian blood by fighting against us! You are betraying your N'Akkiarlian family members, whether you like it or not we are your brothers and sisters, i am your brother and may i say im very disappointed in you, sister! Im glad our forefathers arent around to see what youve done against your blood-relatives! When we win the war i hope our king is clement on you, i would so hate to see our own brothers and sisters kneeling before us and kissing our feet whilst addressing us as "master"! If your kind dont change side and fight with us then before long i will be your master and youll be forced to be an obedient slave to me! Thats not a fate i want for your people, we maybe enemies but were still family and no good family has members which dominate other members!"

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

The N'Akkiarlians didnt want to see humanity reduced to slaves, the humans were family, they didnt want to see humans calling them names like "master".

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.

Anatomy, Biology and Physiology
"Such gorgeous lads!"

- A human female speaking about N'Akkiarlian males

These people were synapsids and were the direct bipedal descendants of the pelycosaurs (unlike humans, who were the direct descendants of the therapids, who were descended from the pelycosaurs) which had started to develop into therapsids by the time the galaxy had discovered them. 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 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, so they stopped growing earlier than males. Aside from their height it was possible to tell the difference between males and females because females were less muscular and had more pronounced breasts than males, the differences between males and females were the same as the differences between male and female humans.

"You fancy a N'Akkiarlian lass but your too afraid to ask her out because of her height and the fact she looks like a reptile? Listen lad, ask her out if you like her, her height dont show you her personality, she could be very nice and want to go out with you! And dont worry about her looking like a reptile, shes whats known as a "pelycosaur" - a reptile-like creature whos actually a distant ancestor of mammals - go back abowt 150,000,000 years through your family tree and youll see you have pelycosaurian forefathers, her kind are warm-blooded just like we are and theyre just an alternate form of human, or is it were an alternate form of N'Akkiarlian? I dunno, i do know our two great peoples are somewhat distant relatives, but anyway if you fancy her then ask her out!"

- A human dad giving advice to his son who fancies a N'Akkiarlian woman but cant pluck up the courage to ask her out

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. There were some N'Akkiarlians who felt sad abowt their muscles and height, because many humans felt intimated by them and wouldnt want to spend time with them even though they were very nice.

"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. Were tiny compared to you! Aside from the fact you're nearly 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 midget 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 weren't 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 the legendary battle commander Ezkrva 'Utiarupanata-Xurgilgranarr whose mummy was measured to be around 12 ft (3.658 metres), making him one of the tallest people ever seen, its believed his massive height was because of a very rare genetic defect.

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 3,000th 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 guaranteed.

Most N'Akkiarlians had excellent eyesight and night-vision which got worse as they reached old age, poor eyesight and night-blindness typically set in around the age of 90 to 100.

Many thought N'Akkiarlian young were cute, especially humans and N'Akkiarla

"Awwww! Look at that little N'Akkiarlian, hes so small and speaks in a cute, high-pitched voice! SOOOOOOO cute!"

- a human woman appreciating a cute young N'Akkiarlian

N'Akkiarlian males got there big muscles around the end of adolescence, which happened around between 15-20, N'Akkiarlian adolescents were like human adolescents, there voice got deeper, had a stronger urge for sex and had increased muscle mass. For males having big muscles was one of the things which symbolised adulthood, as most got there huge muscles around the age of 20, which was classed as adulthood as the Test of Adulthood took place on a N'Akkiarlian's 20th birthday.

Spredabel 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. The disease was harmless and caused no pain but it was somewhat disfiguring.


 * 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.


 * Melting Lung
 * A bacterial disease of the lungs which liquified the lungs, drowning the victim. Because it was very painful and the victim coughed up their own lungs it was one of the most feared of all N'Akkiarlian diseases.

They also suffered from human diseases, like colds. Some believed that they brought the cold and flu etc. to the galaxy when they colonised some of it around the year 5,000,000 BBY - however this was never proven.

Condishuns
Apart from diseases they also suffered from non-spredabel condishuns, like musel an skeletal condishuns


 * Aching Spine
 * A condishun in which the Spine collapsed, causing very bad aches of the spine, usually caused by old age it woz also very rarely caused by bacterial infekshun of the back.


 * Aching Musels
 * A condishun in which musels ached

Pre-centralised government
"5,000,000 years ago we arrived and met very primitive humans who worshipped us as gods, we tought our human servants how to build and later master and servant had children, your kind!"

- A N'Akkiarla telling a human abowt humanity's origins

Evolution
These people originally evolved on the planet N'Akkiarl Major and were classed as Synapsids of Synapsidian descent and as such were closer brothers to humanity and the mammals than to true reptiles. They were believed to have created one of the other sentient Synapsid species which called the N'Akkiarl System "Home", their "legacy", the N'Akkiarlian Humans.

It was believed that they were Synapsids like humans then they had an ancestral lineage similar to that of humans, they were descended from fish, amphibians and synapsids like humans were.

Whilst little was known abowt there distant ancestry it was believed that the N'Akkiarla (and the N'Akkiarlian Humans) were descended from a Sphenacodontian genus called Vzkiana (after Vzkiana He-Lominaparo, the palaeontologist who discovered the fossils) from arownd 100,000,000 BBY, Vzkiana moved on all fours, had a long tail and dagger-like teeth, as well as a dermal plate-lined back (the forerunner to the N'Akkiarlian/N'Akkiarlian Human's very small dermal plates).

"Like us, Vzkiana were the top predators of there time, they and there fellow Proto-Mammal brothers ruled the land, ever since our ancestors split off from the amphibian lineage they were in combat with our distant reptilian cousins. Vzkiana came abowt when our Synapsidian forefathers began to dominate our world 100,000,000 years ago. Vzkiana represented a new form of Proto-Mammal, one far more advanced than there primitive ancestors and any true reptiles at the time, there legacy has been handed to down to us where we dominate our world, just like our ancestors 100,000,000 years ago."

- A N'Akkiarlian palaeontologist speakin abowt Vzkiana

From fossils it was believed that the N'Akkiarla's ancestral line had lost its long tail, like the kind fownd on Vzkiana, arownd 35,000,000 BBY, 15 million years before the estimated year when the N'Akkiarla came abowt.

It was believed that they evolved in 20,000,000 BBY to a time when the "Eoki" race ruled the N'Akkiarl System as part of the Eokian Empire, it was believed that the newly-evolved N'Akkiarla were enslaved as soon as the Eoki learnt they were sentient.

Enslavement, freedom and the creation of the N'Akkiarlian Humans
The Eoki were very brutal to there slaves, the average life expectancy of a N'Akkiarlian slave in the Eokian Empire was only about 25 becuase they were so brutally treated by the Eoki, this fueled there hatred of the Eoki.

After a several hundred years of slavery the N'Akkiarla finally decided they had had enough of bowing down to another race and violently revolted against their brutal masters, the N'Akkiarla were so ferocious they practically wiped out the Eokian species, the few surviving Eoki fled back to the planet Eoki where they eventually died out after being unable to revive the species. The N'Akkiarla then took over the N'Akkiarl System and brought humans in from nearby N'Akkiarl Minor, after several thousands of years of interbreeding the N'Akkiarlian Humans were made, the N'Akkiarla looked on them with pride in the knowledge that they had just fathered a new species (most of the N'Akkiarlians who interbred with the humans were male), their legacy, destined to take over control of their empire should anything happen to them.

"You have to feel sorry for the earliest ancestors of our N'Akkiarlian brothers, they spent a good few centuries under the control of the brutal Eoki! The Eoki punished our brothers harshly!"

- A human speaking about how the earliest N'Akkiarla were brutally treated by there Eokian masters

Prehistoric extra-galactic colonisation
In 5,000,000 BBY the N'Akkiarlians used many millennia of research to build a super space-drive which gave them the ability to travel between galaxies, they ended up in a galaxy they would later call the "Coruscant Galaxy" and colonised it.

"You know 5,000,000 years ago your ancestors worshipped us as gods! They bowed down to us in reverance of there N'Akkiarlian gods! Of course i dont see any of todays humans bowing down to me in worship!"

- A N'Akkiarlian speaking abowt how the very early humans saw there N'Akkiarlian overlords as gods

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 don't 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 don't 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.

"We ruled you once, we can rule you again! We are your lords and masters, and we always will be!"

- A N'Akkiarlian speaking to GFSS troops after accessing a GFSS comms wavelength

Beginnings of the totally unified N'Akkiarlian civilisation
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 20 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
"Now that our empire spans the galaxy we are the ultimate masters of the galaxy!"

- The N'Akkiarlian King of 32,850 BBY

Around 33,000 BBY to 32,950 BBY the N'Akkiarlian races fought the N'Akkiarlian-Jussk'Ravgarok War against the insectoid Jussk-Ravgarok. They defeated the Jussk'Ravgarok and took over their space, the N'AKkiarlian Kingdom Commonwealth became the N'Akkiarlian Star Empire (also known as the Second N'Akkiarlian Empire) after 100 years the N'Akkiarlians finally conquered the entire galaxy, and for 33,850 years this would be the largest known empire in the N'Akkiarl Galaxy.

The Great N'Akkiarlian War
"Human children, why fight for strangers you have no relation to? Join your N'Akkiarlian fathers and together we can form a massive empire stretching two galaxies. I hope you join your N'Akkiarlian fathers, humans, if not then im sorry to say were going to have to conquer you, i would hate to have millions of my human children killed and reduce humanity to a slave race but if you choose to fight your parents then itll have to be done!"

- The N'Akkiarlian king tried to get the GFSS humans to fight alongside there N'Akkiarlian fathers

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. One of the N'Akkiarlian fleets was battling up the Perlemian Trade Route whilst another N'Akkiarla Fleet which had been coming up the came up against the Neimoidian Purse Worlds. They invaded Koru Neimoidia and quickly defeated the Neimoidian and GFSS defense forces. Around the same time as the Invasion of Koru Neimoidia was taking place the N'Akkiarlians tested their new biological super-weapon called the "V9 virus" during the Massacre of Lianna, in which they tested V9 on the whole planet and killed millions of civilians and military personnel stationed on the planet.

"One thing i fail to understand is how the N'Akkiarla think of us as cousins yet they were perfectly willing to test biological weapons on us which wiped out millions of our kind on Lianna! Not exactly the best family relationship if you ask me!"

- A human historian reflecting on the Massacre of Lianna

"Sir! you cant! Think of our cousins on Lianna! Millions of civilians! Where is the honour? Please stop the launch! Its bad enough were in a huge war against our own family without this! Humanity doesnt deserve this fate!"

- A N'Akkiarlian trying to stop the launch of V9, he failed and later deserted

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.

"Our brothers fight well, they defended Koru Neimoidia very well!"

- A N'Akkiarlian speakin abowt how his human brothers fought well to defend Koru Neimoidia

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.

"Our children have defeated us! i guess our time as the strongest empire in the universe has ended!"

- The N'Akkiarlian king upon the defeat of his empire

Although they held on to there galaxy-wide empire after the war the war meant that the belief that they were the ultimate power in the universe came to end, as they felt that had they been at there highest point in power they wouldve defeated the GFSS. The N'Akkiarlian defeat started many to believe that there time as the strongest power in the universe had passed and soon there human children would eventually take over there power.

Banishment from the galaxy
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 into 7th millennium ABY&mdash;a full 5,000 years after the war had ended. The N'Akkiarlians were helped in the war by the "Pro-N'Akkiarlian Group", a group who believed they should fight for their N'Akkiarlian "cousins" rather than the GFSS since evidence and theories suggested that the N'Akkiarla were the distant ancestors of humanity. Their N'Akkiarlian masters promised that the members of the PNG would be treated well in the new N'Akkiarlian order for their slavish loyalty to the N'Akkiarlian cause.

"You call us "traitors" though in reality you are the real traitors! We fight for family, we are N'Akkiarla! The N'Akkiarla are the fathers of our kind and the N'Akkiarla entering the galaxy are our cousins! All they want is to take back whats theirs!"

- A PNG human POW to a Pro-GFSS human

The captured members of the PNG were exiled with their N'Akkiarlian masters, the GFSS decided that since they turned traitor to help their "family" they should leave with their family. The PNG members went to the N'Akkiarl Galaxy where they settled on N'Akkiarl Major, by the time the N'Akkiarlians were allowed back in the year 6,000 ABY there were many descendants of the PNG members, they had interbred with their N'Akkiarlian rulers, creating the "Homo-N'Akkiarla"

"We are the future of both humanity and the N'Akkiarla! We are a combination of the strengths of both species! Behold, the future of your two great peoples! Look upon me in awe, for this is what you will look like in the future!"

- A Homo-N'Akkiarlian telling his belief of how the Homo-N'Akkiarla are the future of humans and N'Akkiarla

Peaceful return, a new beginning
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 Human ancestors (like hair). The sub-species was created from the members of the Pro-N'Akkiarlian Group who were exiled with their N'Akkiarlian masters by the GFSS at the end of the war, after interbreeding with the N'Akkiarlians for 5,000 years the descendants of the PNG were a cross between a Human and a N'Akkiarlian.

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.

Human-N'Akkiarlian relations greatly improve
In the year 6,012 ABY, only 12 years after joining the Coruscant Republic, there was a brief incident over N'Akkiarl Major which was plotted by the N'Akkiarlian Supremacist Movement in order to start a Second Great N'Akkiarlian War. The plan was to steal a human warship and use it to attack the N'Akkiarlian Home Fleet, in revenge for this believed back-stabbing by the Coruscant Republic the King would re-invade the Coruscant Republic and might conquer Coruscant, in which the Supremacists would have practically an entire alian galaxy to dominate.

However the plan failed, the human crew on the patrol ships which was baorded by Supremacists managed to get off a distress signal to Navy Command which told that N'Akkiarlian Supremacists had hijacked the ship, the Supremacists enslaved the crew. The Coruscant Republic sent a warning to the N'Akkiarlian King, who ordered the Home Fleet to go to action stations. The Coruscant Republic had also readied the 88th Fleet to join forces with the N'AKkiarlian fleet, the combined fleet wiped out the patrol ship in time at all, the N'Akkiarlian King sent a message of good-will to the humans, saying that if they ever wanted to live in the N'Akkiarl Galaxy then theyd be treated very well by the King and his followers for defeating the traitors.

The Second N'Akkiarlian-Jussk'Ravgarok War and ever-strengthening relations
In the year 17,299 ABY the descendants of the Jussk'Ravgarok who managed 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.

Around this time N'Akkiarlian-Human relations were going from strength to strength, the two peoples had love and trust for each other.

The N'Akkiarlian Commoners' Revolution and beyond
Many thousands of years later in 135,827 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 and their N'Akkiarlian Human children 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 two galaxies and the less-intelligent beings within them instead of focusing on war, though they kept a somewhat large military to defend the Empire from attack.

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 at the time of the Great N'Akkiarlian War 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. The Star Empire (A.K.A the Second N'Akkiarlian Empire) was formed in 32,950 BBY after Jussk'Ravgarok Space was conquered by the N'Akkiarlians during the N'Akkiarlian-Jussk'Ravgarok War of 33,000 BBY-32,950 BBY. It was formed from the N'Akkiarlian Kingdom Commonwealth.

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.

In the year 135,827 ABY the Star Empire was renamed the N'Akkiarlian Imperial Republic, after the Commoners' Revolution.

Relationship with Galactic Humans
"We and humanity are brothers, go back far enough and we come from the same ancestors, its just our ancestors stayed at home whilst humanity's ancestors colonised another galaxy."

- A N'Akkiarlian speaking about the relationship between Humans and N'Akkiarlians

Ancient human legends from many millennia ago (estimated to be from around five million years before the formation the Republic and the Jedi Order) tell of "multi-coloured reptilian Gods", Gods of all different colors: white, black, 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, they thought it was an currantly undiscovered species which was related to either the s or the or maybe even both. 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 Dragon-Talk, the pidgin ancestor of 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 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 fled the galaxy (believed to be an extinction event of some sort, possibly a huge war).

"There was a time when your galaxy belonged to us. We were the masters of your primitive ancestors and we have genetic links with you. Our ancestors had interspecies relationships with the human slaves which resulted in you! Go back far enough and youll see you have at least one N'Akkiarlian father, if not more than that! But for some unknown reason we left you children, maybe there was a huge outbreak of disease, and quarantined your galaxy for 5,000,000 years, in that time we watched our human children evolve, you took the methods your N'Akkiarlian masters and fathers taught you and made good use of them! So you could see we let you become technologically advanced!"

- A N'Akkiarlian telling a human about her N'Akkiarlian heritage

Some claimed that the Honorable warrior, militaristic and bloodthirsty traits many Humans show could be inherited from the N'Akkiarla which created modern humanity millions of years ago, the same people also claimed that if this theory was true then the "N'Akkiarla" could be the "Living Ancestors" of all of the Humans of the Galaxy, these claims were investigated and through genes it was proven that the earliest humans had indeed interbred with the N'Akkiarlian colonists, the humans' "Gods", which created modern humans and that the N'Akkiarla taught the early humans technologies like space travel and advanced building materials and techneeks which were somehow lost for nearly 5 million years.

"We have watched you for millions of years, for 5 million years we have watched our human descendants evolve into the great race of today, we have seen the rise and fall of many great empires but none of them were as great as the galaxy-spanning one from 8,000 years ago, that made us so prowd to call you our descendants!"

- a N'Akkiarlian King to a human Supreme Chancellor

Also it had been decided that Human had evolved from therapids (mammal-like reptiles), though most believers said that these therapsids had lived arownd 300,000,000 years ago, the N'Akkiarla gave the other belief that humans were actually descended from reptile-like aliens more grownd. The biological similarities of N'Akkiarla and Humanity showed that they mustve descended from similar ancestors.

Another theory of familial relationship between Humans and N'Akkiarla was bone structure, aside from their skull shape Human and N'Akkiarlian skeletal structures were virtually identical (other than skull skape the only difference between the two bone structures was that male N'Akkiarlians had more bone density than the bones of their Human cousins because they had more muscle). 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. Many humans though the N'Akkiarla were an amazing species and were very proud to be a child of them, at the same time many N'Akkiarla felt pride at how the humans were there descendants. Another thing which pointed to shared blood was skin, N'Akkiarlian skin was the very same as Human skin, which couldve meant that the modern humans had inherited it from their N'Akkiarlian ancestors but over the millions of years the humans lost the purple, silver, orange, green etc. pigments that some of their N'Akkiarlian forefathers had.

"Your people are so amazing, im proud to be a son of your people! Listen son, we fathers are proud of you! Why dont you go and live in our galaxy, the galaxy of your forefathers?"

- A human expressing his pride at being a "son" of the N'Akkiarlians and a N'Akkiarlian expressing his pride at being a "father" of the humans

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 N'Akkiarlians from around 5,000,000 years before the Great War 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.

"Do you have any idea about your blood? You have N'Akkiarlian blood flowing through you, which comes from me, thats right you have my blood flowing through you! You know that you were made when me and me your mum got drunk on cider!? Listen, son, you may be the result of drinking lots of alcohol but we still love you! Even if we cant remember what happened the night we made you!"

- A N'Akkiarlian father to his human son

During the Great N'Akkiarlian War many N'Akkiarlian soldiers fathered War children with human women on the planets they had conquered. Ironically some of them were humanocentric, despite there fathers being aliens. Many grew up never knowing there true father, as the N'Akkiarlians were defeated and forced to return to there own galaxy before most of them were born. Many of the N'Akkiarlian soldiers wondered what there sons and daughters were doing, many wished they couldve gone back to see there flesh and blood.

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 had 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 ancestors and they didn't even know it.

"You N'Akkiarlians are scum! You tried to exterminate us! No, brother, we wanted you to join us and fight together like a strong family! But no, you decided to fight against your own brothers! We are not related! Oh but we are! Your kind are the children of my kind! Trace your family back 5,000,000 years and you'll see that we are the fathers of your kind! I wish more than anything you humans never forgot where you came from!"

- An argument between a N'Akkiarlian and an Anti-N'Akkiarlian human

In 6,012 ABY the Humans helped the N'Akkiarlians defeat the N'Akkiarlian Supremacists during the Skirmish over N'Akkiarl Major, which greatly strengthened N'Akkiarlian-Human relations.

By 6,030 ABY marriage between N'Akkiarlians and Humans was quite common, as was starting a family, some humans didnt agree with members of there kind marrying reptile-like creatures but N'Akkiarlians were practically always fine with Homo-N'Akkiarlian relationships.

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 6,000. Despite being a combat-orientated society, the N'Akkiarla did have representatives in the Galactic Senate and an embassy on Coruscant. The first Imperial Senator was named Jyoznarr 'Burr-Hureg, he held his position for 40 years until he retired from the position in the year 6,040, the seat of Imperial Senator being taken over by the young, head-strong 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.

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.

For a long time after the Great N'Akkiarlian War there remained N'Akkiarlians who believed that they were destined to rule over all other life-forms, these were called N'Akkiarlian Supremacists and they weren't liked by many N'Akkiarlians, most of whom believed that they had as much right to rule other sentient beings as the Eoki did to rule them. Many of the more hard-core supremacists even pushed for a Second Great N'Akkiarlian War, believing that they still had the chance to exercise their supposed god-given right of mastery over all other sentients. They were very small in number and were thought of proposing murder by other N'Akkiarlians, their push for a Second Great N'Akkiarlian War was barely paid any attenshun to because they were thought to be "mad" and "crazy", or just "moronic", there was an incident which couldve nearly sparked a second war, the Skirmish over N'Akkiarl Major, in which Supremacists hijacked a human ship and attacked the N'Akkiarlian Home Fleet, the tried to get the N'Akkiarlian King believed the Humans had broken their promise of diplomacy by attacking the N'Akkiarlian fleet, he would then re-invade the Coruscant Galaxy in revenge, starting the Second Great N'Akkiarlian War, the plan was foiled however when the humans quickly learnt of the hijacking and warned the N'Akkiarlians, the N'Akkiarlian and Human fleets combined forces and the hijacked ship was quickly obliterated, in the end the skirmish proved to have the opposite effect than what the Supremacists wanted, rather than launch a Second Great N'Akkiarlian War, the King expressed his happiness at the fact the humans had warned him of treason against him, which strengthened Human-N'Akkiarlian relations.

"The gods give us the right of ownership over all beings! We are the true masters of the universe! Our destiny is to have all other beings bowing down to us and worshipping us as gods! It is also our destiny to take ownership of all life in the universe - we are the owners of all non-N'Akkiarlians in the universe, non-N'Akkiarlians are our pets, they will do what we order them to!"

- A N'Akkiarlian Supremacist expressing his political beliefs

Apart from believing themselves to be the masters of all sentients, supremacists believed they were the masters of the universe, of everything in existence, because the two omnipotent N'Akkiarlians called Sjzeki and Kazi created the universe and all the life in, so they believed that Sjzeki and Kazi would make their children the rulers of the universe and all life within it.

"Our father, Sjzeki and our mother, Kazi, created the universe so surely theyd make us the masters and owners of it!"

- A N'Akkiarlian Supremacist's view of their right to rule all

"The Supremacists are stupid! The belief we rule everything in the universe is stupid! We didnt like it when we were slaves to the Eoki so why should we put others through the same thing? We N'Akkiarlians would never kneel at the feet of an invader calling itself our master so why should we expect other beings to do so to us?"

- An Anti-Supremacist N'Akkiarlian

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.

"The N'Akkiarlian humans are closely related to us, theyre our sons and daughters, we are their parents. I love the humans as if they were my own! I have a human boyfriend, i love him as much as i would if i had carried him inside me!"

- A N'Akkiarlian female describing her love of the N'Akkiarlian Humans

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. The worst fight between the two people was the N'Akkiarlian Civil War, after which the N'Akkiarlian Humans were enslaved by the N'Akkiarla for around 6,000 years.

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!"

- A N'Akkiarlian's daughter realising that he was her actual father

Military
"Long-lost children, why dont you join us? Instead of fighting for strangers why dont you fight for your distant brothers? You and us are children of the same fathers and mothers, unite with your N'Akkiarlian brothers and together we can rule two galaxies!"

- The N'Akkiarlian King tried to get the GFSS humans to join him in his conquest of the galaxy 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 Star 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 and with a biological superweapon called "V9", which was tested during the Massacre of Lianna.

There were five branches of the military: the N'Akkiarlian Army, the N'Akkiarlian Star Navy, the N'Akkiarlian Surface Navy, the N'Akkiarlian Surface Marines and the N'Akkiarlian Star Marines. There were two different branches of the navy and the marines, this was because they fought on both the surface of planets and in space and if the surface and space forces were part of the same branch then there could be some confusion as to which force was being referred to (e.g. the "Navy" could mean either spaceships or ships which sailed the seas so it was decided to separate the "Navy" into the "Star Navy" and the "Surface Navy").

There were sub-branches like Naval Intelligence, Army Intelligence, Speciol Weapons Fleet etc. etc.

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 the warrior's favourite things to do was to march to the sound of deep booms of war drums, something every N'Akkiarlian warrior did 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. "You have no honour! There is no honour in fighting for money!"

- A N'Akkiarlian to a mercenary

Upon reaching adulthood at the age of 20 N'Akkiarlians were given their personal sword which to them was a part of themselves. A N'Akkiarlian's sword told people that he or she had passed the Test of Adulthood and was officially an adult.

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.

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 there N'Akkiarlian Human children and Baseline Human brothers. However after joining the Galaxy and becoming a member of the Senate there xenophobic nature was mellowed a lot, though they still showed xenophobic tendencies years after joining the Coruscant Republic they were no-where as xenophobic as they were in the Pre-Great N'Akkiarlian War days. And by the year 6,100 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 many sentients males and females wore slightly different clothing due to their biology, whilst they wore almost the same clothes they were not exactly the same because of things like females needed to cover their chest, which wasn't such a big issue for males, so male clothing typically didnt have anything to cover their chest with, whilst female clothing did to protect their decency and modesty.

Dragons were important in N'Akkiarlian culture as they represent bravery, strength, honour and wisdom. Many armies were led by a banner with a dragon on it. Some soldiers wore helmets shaped like the head of a dragon as it was said wearing a helmet in the shape of a dragon's head would give them the strength of a dragon.

Many sovereigns used a Dragon in there coat of arms and there was a Dragon on the flag of the N'Akkiarlian Star Empire, symbolising the strength of the Empire and the bravery, strength, honour and wisdom of the N'Akkiarlians who ruled it.

Like humans some N'Akkiarla feared ghosts, others however found meeting a ghost to be an amazing experience as they were meeting a brother who had passed on. In N'Akkiarlian culture if warriors saw the ghost of a famous warrior before a battle then the battle would be a major victory whilst if the enemy saw the ghost it would be a major loss for them, this was certainly true of the Invasion of Koru Neimoidia, in which warriors saw the ghost of famed battle commanded Ezkrva 'Utiazrupanata-Xurgilgranarr and the crew on the bridge of the GFSS Star Dragon saw him and Ezkrva's ghost prophesised there doom, and the battle was a major N'Akkiarlian victory.

Music and dance
"Have you ever heard the Overlords of Death? Their music is awesome!"

- An Overlords of Death fan

N'Akkiarlian music was usually what Earthlings would describe as Rock/Heavy Metal/Glam Rock, which they really enjoyed. N'Akkiarlian rock bands were largely considered some of the best in their galaxy - one of the most famous being the "Overlords of Death" - who had fans in both the N'Akkiarl Galaxy and the Coruscant Galaxy, the N'Akkiarlians also loved to dance, especially to rock music but they were just as happy dancing to other types of music providing it was fast, energetic and had a good rhythm, although not as fast or energetic as other types of music, N'Akkiarlians had a particular liking of what earthlings would describe as Eurodance and Synthpop-New Wave, due to its fast beat and good dancing rhythm, though rock music remained their personal favourite.

Music and dance was a very important part of N'Akkiarlian culture as they loved it so much.

"We love music and dance, its a very important part in our culture, its an art form. We dance for everything: love, enjoyment and so on"

- A N'Akkiarlian speaking about what music and dance means to N'Akkiarlians

Alcoholic drinks and culture
"Our ciders nice, it tastes like apple juice!"

- A N'Akkiarlian speaking about N'Akkiarlian

The normal N'Akkiarlian preferred the taste of alcohol to getting blind drunk, so N'Akkiarlian drinks didnt have much alcohol in them, it was rare to get a N'Akkiarlian alcoholic drink which was more than 4% alcohol.

One of the favourites was N'Akkiarlian Cider, which was usually 4% alcohol, it was red as it was made from N'Akkiarlian Blood Apples and it tasted sweet, like apple juice.

Like all sentient species some did get drunk, drunkness in N'Akkiarlians usually resulted in a child, many of whom's parents couldnt remember what happened the night they made them.

Non-alcoholic drinks
"N'Akkiarlian Tea isnt like normal tea, it tastes like someones put 6 spoonfuls of sugar in it, because of the sugary sap of the tea leaves which aint removed like with other tea leaves!"

- A human speakin abowt N'Akkiarlian Tea

Many N'Akkiarlian Non-alcoholic drinks were sweet, either by nature or by the N'Akkiarlians' love of sweet stuff. An example of naturally-sweet beverage was N'Akkiarlian Tea, which was made with the sweet, sugary sap still in the leaves, to give it a natural flavour, this meant it tasted like "someone had put 6 spoonfuls of sugar in it", because of its sweetness humans either loved it or hated it, humans with a sweet-tooth especially loved it and thought of it as the best tea on the market.

N'Akkiarlian Intelligence
"Men are stupid, thats just how there made!"

- A N'Akkiarlian female speakin abowt male intelligence

Despite their brutish appearance and combat-orientated culture these people were actually very intelligent (at least twice as intelligent as Humans were), their average intelligence level being 200 - twice that of the baseline human average. 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.

N'Akkiarlians, for a long time, believed that women were smarter than men, because men had testosterone which made them more sexually-minded and brutish compared to woman, which seemed to make them stupider than women. However it was believed the King was smarter than everyone.

"Men are stronger, but women are smarter!"

- A N'Akkiarlian saying, the N'Akkiarlians later found out their belief in woman were more intelligent than men were shared by the Hapans

The N'Akkiarla believed that a man who thought he was as smart as a woman could cause trouble later on, so ordinary male children were taught they weren't as smart as females and they never would be. They also held the belief that women were better suited for things like espionage and scouting jobs than men, because women could use their greater intelligence to sneak by enemies without being seen, whilst brutish, lower-intellect man would just try to kill all enemies without a thought for noise or the possible consequences of their actions.

When the baseline 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-quarters combat.

Rituals
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!"

The N'Akkiarlian Longsword and its culture
"Behold my beautiful sword! Crafted by my own hands, shes as much of a companion to me as my darling sweetheart is! She helped me in taking down a Zsvizik on the day i became a woman, which was also the same day i made her!"

- A N'Akkiarlian woman showing off her longsword

The longsword was the love of all N'Akkiarlians and N'Akkiarlian Humans and was one of their closest companions, it was said that a N'Akkiarlian would rather die than let someone take their longsword away from them, because their longsword "bonded" with them during the Test of Adulthood, which took place on a N'Akkiarlian's 20th birthday, the day he/she became an adult. During the Test of Adulthood a N'Akkiarlian would build his/her own longsword and kill a vicious predator known as a Zsvizik with it, the longsword would "bond" with its owner during the test and successfully completing the test meant that the one taking the test was now officially an adult.

Longswords were typically "female", with the owner calling there longsword things like "her", "she" and "girl".

Some N'Akkiarlians gave there longswords names like Slaughterer and Reaper.

Religion
"Sister, why dont you respect your parents? Why should I believe in stupid religion and make-believe gods? Because the gods and goddesses are our parents, everything living is the children of the gods! They created the ground we walk on as well us! Rubbish! Science created everything You may not believe in your parents, but dont worry, your father, Sjzeki and your mother, Kazi, will always love you! Dont forget that Kazi carried you inside her and gave birth to you, as she did to me and to all living things, you should respect her for that at least!"

- An argument between a religous N'Akkiarlian and an athiest Coruscanti woman, the N'Akkiarlian tells of the belief that all livings things are the children of the gods

The N'Akkiarlian religion had lots of gods and goddesses - most of which where married, when married a god and goddess would both take care of the same part of universe (like the God and Goddess of Everything, the God and Goddess of War and the God and Goddess of Life).

The creators of everything was two omnipotent N'Akkiarlians called Sjzeki, the God of Everything (also called the Father of Eternity), and his wife, Kazi, the Goddess of Everything (also called the Mother of Eternity). Sjzeki and Kazi were the two oldest god and goddess' and had been born billions, if not trillions, of years before the universe (as the creation story says). The story then goes on to say how Sjzeki created all astrological bodies in the universe, whilst Kazi mothered all life in the universe, including all the gods and all non-sentient life forms as well as all sentient beings. The story says she gave birth to each life form, the N'Akkiarlians greatly respected her for that, which is why she also held the position of Goddess of Childbirth.

Because the creators of everything were omnipotent N'Akkiarlians very religous N'Akkiarlians believed themselves to be a godly race who deserved the worship of everything as they were apparently the grandchildren of the creators of everything.

"Our grandparents, Sjzeki and Kazi, made everything! As there grandchildren we are the children of gods, and you will worship us - your gods! We are all-powerful, you will bow before your omnipotent overlords!"

- An extremely religous N'Akkiarlian

Despite being the "mother" of life, some N'Akkiarlians turned their backs on Kazi and accepted Xzakka, the Goddess of Chaos and the wife of Zkazztangiloriogna, as their "mother", these N'Akkiarlians were thought of as heretics for believing in the Evil Gods.

Within the first minute of Sjzeki and Kazi creating the universe they both fought their naughty son called Zkazztangilorionga (the God of Chaos) for everything there was as well everything in the future. If Sjzeki and Kazi 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 existence. Fortunately Sjzeki and Kazi won and Zkazztangiloriogna's plan for universal domination was foiled.

As the years went by more gods and goddesses were created by Sjzeki and Kazi, these gods and goddesses were called the "Good Gods" (because Zkazztangilorionga had his own family of Gods and Goddesses, called the "Evil Gods"). The story which tells of the creation of life says the N'Akkiarlians were created by each couple of the Good Gods (depending on their profession), whilst those who followed Zkazztangilorionga and his children were created by the Evil Gods. Example: The N'Akkiarlian Warriors were the children of the God and Goddess of War, whilst N'Akkiarlian Doctors were created by the God and Goddess of Life. A typical N'Akkiarlian Warrior way of saying good bye was "May Mother Zeko smile upon you", Warriors believed and thought of Zeko, the Goddess of War, as their "mother" because the stories said that the Warriors were the children of Vzkaa and Zeko, whilst Vzkaa (the God of War) was their "father".

A typical N'Akkiarlian insult was "Child of Zkazztangiloriogna!", which meant evil and heresy. There were some N'Akkiarlians who turned their backs of Sjzeko, Kazi and their children (the Good Gods) and accepted Zkazztangiloriogna, Xzakka (the Goddess of Chaos, the wife of Zkazztangiloriogna) and his family as their creators, they were thought of heretics by the N'Akkiarlians who believed in the "Good Gods" and were hated for turning their back on "Father Sjzeki" and "Mother Kazi".

One god the N'Akkiarlian races feared upsetting was Zkazztangiloriogna'Kjagartinayaa, the dragon God of Chaos. They believed that as the son of Sjzeki and Kazi, the creators of everything, he still had lots of power despite being defeated by his parents.

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 was the physical representation of Sjzeki himself and that the Queen was the physical representation of Kazi herself.

Upon death good N'Akkiarlians who followed the "Good Gods" and didnt have a life of crime would be entitled to go to Heaven, a place of love, beauty, prosperity and peace, for ever. In heaven they would meet there family again (when they arrived if they hadnt died yet), or would get the family of there dreams if they had died single and alone. In heaven they would have a nice house, money and other rich things and would be able to enjoy upper-class living for eternity.

However those who followed the "Evil Gods" went to Hell, Hell was a horrible place beyond the edges of the universe, in Hell the souls of the dead bowed to there evil masters and mistresses and indulged in an evil life of sin for eternity, to the "lost" souls in Hell this lifestyle for eternity felt like Paradise. Sometimes a soul from Hell would go back to the land of living so they could drag a living person down to Hell with them, or to tempt and seduce the good into sinning and not being able to go to Heaven (a "Demon"), Demons were feared as they would take there victim to Hell, or would stop a good and rightous soul going to Heaven upon death.

In the living world there were ghosts, ghosts were caused by a number of different things. One cause was that the ghost had sinned only a little, not enough to go to Hell but enough to not be able to go to Heaven and were stuck in the living world for ever. Other causes were tragic cicumstances like murder, accidents and unforseen circumstances also a ghost either feared what was beyond the living world and so chose to stay with there living brothers or didnt know they were dead yet. N'Akkiarlians feared ghosts because ghosts were almost always lonely and they feared being doomed to an eternity of loneliness. Psychic N'Akkiarlians could also feel the intense emotions of sadness, depression, loneliness and emptiness radiating from a ghost and could feel the ghost's eternal pain and desire to only be loved again and had been known to make psychics upset and depressed. Some psychics couldnt cope with there "gift" and either went mad or lived as hermits.

Also souls returned to the living world as ghosts, a ghost from Heaven was just a "ghost" whilst a ghost from Hell was a "Demon". A famous ghost was that of Ezkrva 'Utiazrupanata-Xurgilgranarr, who returned from Heaven to haunt his tomb for a while and later returned to tell his descendants of a major victory.

Naming
N'Akkiarlian names worked the same as Human names (leading some humans to believe the N'Akkiarla tought primitive humanity naming conventions), the first name was the given name and the other two names was the family name. Lile most humans N'Akkiarlians usually didnt bother with middle names, though some N'Akkiarlians did have middle names (e.g. "Vaxda Ozdan 'De-Dergano"). An example would be "Jyoznarr 'Burr-Hureg", "Jyoznarr" is the given name whilst "'Burr-Hureg" was the family name.

Distinctions
At 20 million years old at the time of their discovery they were one of the oldest sentient/sapient species ever discovered, however their N'Akkiarlian Dragon allies were far older, having evolved 70 million years before they evolved.

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, it was believed the human ancestors of the N'Akkiarlian Humans were brought from N'Akkiarl Minor to N'Akkiarl Major by the N'Akkiarla when they colonised N'Akkiarl Minor around the year 10,000,000 BBY.

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. Before joining the Coruscant Republic 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 existence.

"Your kind has corrupted my brothers! We will wipe your filth of the face of universe!"

- A N'Akkiarlian to a Sith Lord

They were commonly thought of as "reptiles", but this wasn't true - they were actually synapsids like mammals were. As synapsids they were descendants of reptile-like amphibians and the earliest Amniotes but they weren't "true reptiles", their Synapsid ancestors split off from the amniotes like the ancestors of reptiles did, making them distant cousins of reptiles. Their more reptilian appearance was because they were the direct bipedial descendants of the Pelycosaurs and had not evolved in the same way as the Therapsid mammals had, on N'Akkiarl Major the Therapsids (the "Advanced Synapsids") never evolved, the "mammal-like reptiles" (the extinct ancestors of therapsids in other evolutionary lineages) had evolved over the eons into a bipedial form, the N'Akkiarla and the N'Akkiarlian Humans (though the humans were a Pelycosaur/Therapsid hybrid as they were created from both the N'Akkiarla and the humans the N'Akkiarla brought to N'Akkiarl Major when they colonised N'Akkiarl Minor in 10,000,000 BBY). Though the N'Akkiarlians could be classed as "Pelycosaurs" they did not have the sail on their back which most of their Pelycosaurian ancestors had, nature had tried this and decided it wouldnt work and got rid of it, the closest they had to back-sail was spinal projections running down the back, these projections were bones which were attached to the spine and projected outwards from the spine, smaller versions of the kind fownd on Vzkiana, one of the ancestors of N'Akkiarlian races.

Despite the fact Therapsids never evolved on N'Akkiarl Major the N'Akkiarla did show aspects of a Therapsidian anatomy - like the fact they were warm-blooded, had discovered live birth and had a Therapsidian skeletal design, which suggests that at the time of their discovery they were evolving into Therapsids.

Though they didnt look related they were actually close to humans, close enough to at least be regarded as "cousins" by baselines humans.

"We are a different form of humanity, whereas humans are Therapids descended from Pelycosaurs, we are Pelycosaurs. We are Pelycosaurs who have evolved some Therapsid traits like giving birth to live young rather than eggs, feeding our young on milk, skin rather than scales and warm-bloodedness, we are evolving into true Therapsids right now! One day we will be considered "mammals"!"

Behind the scenes
The N'Akkiarla had two designs, there original design was 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 a N'Akkiarlian King fathering 238 children came from Pharaoh Ramses II who fathered around 100-110 children in his lifetime.

Vzkiana is inspired by Dimetrodon, and the splitting of the Amphibian lineage in to the Synapsids and the "True Reptiles" was inspired by real events which happened during the late Carboniferous period.
