Many, many aeons ago there was a very powerful species called the Eoki, our ancient alian masters, who at the time of our creation 50,000 years ago had an Empire which covered our home system, they were quick to enslave our first ancestors, who endured slavery for many years until they fought for our freedom and won it, wiping the Eoki scum from the face of the universe! Though the Eoki did teech us how to travel through space though.
—A N'Akkiarlian speakin abowt the Eoki
The Eoki were a sentient species from the planet Eoki, just beyond the N'Akkiarlian Capital Systems in the N'Akkiarl Galaxy. A hostile race, they enslaved the newly evolved N'Akkarla around 50,000 BBY, they treated their slaves terribly.
The Eoki went extinct because the N'Akkiarla became disenchanted as slaves and in 50,000 BBY violently rose up against their masters. In their ferocity, they practically wiped the Eoki out. The few surviving Eoki were forced to leave their slaves behind and flee to Eoki to prevent their slaughter by the N'Akkiarla. They died out after being unable to rekindle their dying species.
The N'Akkiarla hated the Eoki for the enslavement of their ancestors and were highly proud at the fight their ancestors fought to be free, the later regarded this as a high-point in the history of sentient rights. They also believed the Eoki deserved their fate.
The damned Eoki enslaved and exploited our ancestors, dont tell me our ancestors were wrong to exterminate them! Our ancestors were simply fighting for their freedom and liberty, something very important to us! Im highly proud at the good fight our ancestors fought and at how they wiped the hated Eoki off the face of the universe!

Biology[]
From ancient fossils the Eoki could be seen to be four–armed humanoids, they looked somewhat human but their feet had a single toe and each of their four hands had three fingers. They also had needle-like teeth which was believed to be used in combat and hunting, nasty Eoki used there teeth against there slaves as punishment for things like bad behaviour. They had three eyes which were arranged in a triangle-like shape. The Eoki had three different sub-species: Eoki Workers, Eoki Warriors and finally the Eoki Warlords. The Eoki Workers were the shortest, with an average of 1.73 meters (believed to be caused by the prevalence of heavy labor, malnutrition and disease), next came the Eoki Warriors who were on average taller than the Workers at 1.98 meters and finally came the Eoki Warlords, the leaders of the species who were the tallest at 2.03 meters.
Culture[]
Little was known about Eokian culture because they were completely obliterated by the N'Akkiarla in 50,000 BBY, so most of their culture was destroyed, save space travel which was used by the N'Akkiarla.
Also the name "N'Akkiarla" was the Eokian species designation for there slaves, it came from the word "N'Akkiarla" which meant "Free People", the newly-freed slaves believed this to be a good name so they called themselves this, the term was adapted from "S'Akkiarla", which meant "Slave People", which was what the Eoki called the N'Akkiarla.
Originally the entire species was called "N'Akkiarla" but over the millennia as the Kingdoms evolved the species broke up into different nationalities (like the Bnezans and the Mzenrans), by the year 45,000 BBY only N'Akkiarlians from the State of N'Akkiarl called themselves "N'Akkiarla". After the N'Akkiarlian Alliance won the N'Akkiarl-Mzenra War of 45,000 BBY the other kingdoms were absorbed into the State of N'Akkiarl to become the First N'Akkiarlian Empire and the whole species started to call itself "N'Akkiarla" again but some still called themselves things like "Mzenran" or "Olgmuntroorian".
