Fiction:The Kesiahan Triumvirate

The Kesiahan Triumvirate is relatively small empire who just recently emerged from it's single planet of Satharis. The empire is expanding, and spreading it's influence to other planets by colonizing. Kesiahans have just recently entered the Space Stage, and are therefore a Tier 5 empire. Their intentions are to help the different races of the Universe, and expand their empire.

Species
Kesiahans are a bipedal, normal sized race, about 6 foot tall. They are of reptilian origins, which means they are cold blooded. Kesiahans are quite adept at combat, and are formidably stronger than humans. They are also quicker than humans, and can climb amazing heights.

They are many times more intelligent than humans, and more articulate. They are peaceful creatures, but do go to war when it is necessary, or when they feel the need to expand their influence. They are friendly to most races, until they feel threatened.

Their lifestyle is similar to the Human lifestyle in many ways. Despite being a Militarized species, they have a distinct religion. Their religion is based on a deity by the name of "Ket'lne" who (According to Kesiahani religious zealots) came to the planet Satharis, created the Kesiahan species, placed them there, and gave them complete dominion over the planet.

Ket'lne is rumored to actually be the name of an ancient ruler of a former Kesiahan-like empire that ruled the area near Satharis in the Perseus Arm of the Milky Way Galaxy. However these are only stories because this so called "empire" has not been proven to ever have existed. Kesiahans believe it to be a mission to find this empire and re-establish connection with them.

For many years, during the Tribal phase of the planet, the religion dominated the planet. Kesiahans still believe in an old prophecy of their future that explained how they would rise up from Satharis and become a great force in the Milky Way Galaxy, and beyond. They base their intentions heavily on it.

History
According to the Kesiahani religion, the planet was completely barren before the deity Ket'lne came. When Ket'lne arrived, it is said that the planet was terraformed in an blinding flash of light. Sprawling creatures thrived on Satharis, but only one was destined to rule it. It is believed that the Kesiahan species derived from a cell called Klutoplasmae, that (after the terraformation of the planet) was an abundant cell staged organism. The Kesiahan species quickly rose up to the Tribal stage, where most of it's history is found.

Tribal Age
The Tribal Stage on Satharis was a long age of different events, including War, Religious conflict, and external influence. Various tribes had sprung up and were interacting with one another. Four main tribes had the most influence, Tribe Okawi, Tribe Yazni, Tribe Trili, and Tribe Masi. These tribes interacted through trade, and religion.

After a long period of coexisting, Tribe Trili had begun a massive attack on Okawi, Yazni, and Masi. Trili was bent on ultimate power over these tribe's resources. This event caused the Tribal Phase to last longer than it should have. Trili was also the only tribe to not share the same religion, and was also the largest tribe. Okawi, Yazni, and Masi all believed in the exact same religion. This caused them to all ally with one another to destroy the greater threat. Thus they pooled their resources, and fought the Trili.

The Great Tribal War
The Great Tribal War was a long-lasting conflict between the forces of the Okawi, Yazni, and Masi, Which would become the new tribe of Maerti, against the Trili Tribe. Despite becoming one tribe, the Maerti were still outnumbered. The Trili tribe had become enormous by the time the war had begun.

The Trili soon invaded the lands of the Maerti, and occupied their camps. The Maerti were then forced into a cease fire. Almost all of the Maerti tribe was occupied, and the people of the occupied camps were forced to pay heavily for the Trili's war. The Maertian people were in despair, being put under the Trili's rule. The Trili were brutal to the Maertian people, and often executed many of them. This angered the Maertians, but the Trili continued these actions. After hearing of the Maertian anger, the leader of the Trili, Kuh'etl, had ordered the burning of most of the Maertian camps. The Trili then burned most of their camps. The Maertians finally had enough.

The Maertian people, and the remaining camps that were not occupied or burned had gained enough resources to attempt one last war effort against the powerful Trili. Isaden I snuck into the Trili camp where Kuh'etl had been, and assassinated Kuh'etl. This caused panic within the Trili, and would be the cause of their downfall. So the war had begun. The Trili was leaderless, and had no heir to Kuh'etl's throne. This caused most of the Trili to give up, and convert over into the Maerti tribe. At this point, the Maerti tribe was now on the brink of crushing the Trili, and within two years, the Trili had given up completely.

After the conflict had ended, the Kesiahan species had evolved. They had begun thinking rationally, and the beginning of civilization had begun. The left overs of the Trili tribe had vanished into history, and the Maerti tribe became the Maertian Nation.

Civilization
The Maertian Nation was the first nation to pop up on the Map. Civilization had begun..

Despite being crushed in the Great Tribal War, the Trili had survived. They became known as the Trili Remnant, or simply the Trili Nation. The Maertians had seen them, and instead of declaring war, they re-established trade with them. This eventually led to an alliance between the two, after they formally decided to forget the past.

Other nations had sprang up, but most agreed with the Trili Nation, and the Maertians. Several wars had occured but were nothing of importance to the History of the Kesiahans. Soon a global government, that is ruled by three Triumvi, agreed to on by the nations of Satharis was established. They now threw away the old names, and were simply known as the Kesiahans. The first leaders of the Kesiahan Triumvirate were Mu'ol of Catts, Ka'edl of Trillejo, and Isaden the III of Okamaria. This paved the way for exponential evolution in Technologies, Science, and even Religion.

Technology continued to develop, and the race had begun thinking about leaving the planet. They soon debated on how to massively leave the planet. The species had found artifacts on the Moon of Satharis, by flying to it in their first spacecraft and had discovered that they were indeed crashed pieces of alien technology. A vote was drawn up to re-engineer what they had gathered. The vote passed, and they soon re-engineered the spacecraft. This became the first craft used to go into deep space.

This marked the beginning of the Space Age.

The Space Age
The first spacecraft capable of going deeper into their solar system was crafted. This craft was the model Slayer V-1, the craft went by the name of the KSS-001 Ket'lne in honor of the religious deity, and it was used to colonize the Ju'ylk system.

Shortly after engineering this craft, they developed tools to colonize the stars, and quickly colonized their system. Technology has recently advanced far enough letting them escape the boundaries of their solar system and they have thus began colonization of the surrounding systems of Ju'ylk.

This is where the Kesiahan species is currently at.
