Creature:Hakis Herbivis

The Hakis "Squiddus" was a primitive zooplankton (still found in Haalisian waters today) that had flagella around its filter-feeding mouth. Its descendants, the Hakis Squiddus Terrestis, were a very odd-looking species, but a very social one too. Eventually, at approx. 3 1/2 Billion years after their arrival on Haalisis, the "Hakis Herbivis" as they were known, formed a village in the region of Serankii, the future site of Serankas. Old Hakis was developed and spoken in this Tribal period. The Hakis Chieftain ordered destruction of all non-peaceful villages,resulting in the destruction of 4/5 rival villages. The Tribe were now "Industrious", and were thus Economic in archetype. The architecture of the Hakis is fungal, resembling mushrooms found and eaten (even today) on Haalisis. Shortly after the Great Passage of Algenon, when the moon of Haalisis - which would later be a Hakis Herbivis Colony - disappeared for several centuries, the planet entered the "Diplomatic Golden Age", when nations negotiated and traded. Eventually, the incredibly rich Hakis Herbivis of Serankas used the "Global Merger", which was a global advertising campaign that, though expensive, brought all cities under Serankasian control. Now, with a unified planet, the Hakis Herbivis were classed as a "Diplomat" Empire, and thus possessed the super-technology of the Static Cling - which immobilises planetary defences. The Empire spread rapidly, colonising the worlds of Dycalobu and Nicaspa (later to be lost in the Grox Alliance Galactic War) and spreading their influence far and wide. Eventually, Halki (Imperial Commander of the Hakis Herbivis Empire of Haalisis) was sent to contact The Grox Empire. He returned afterwards, and began accumulating tools to ally The Grox. After a long, gruelling process, the "Hakis Herbivis Empire - The Grox Empire Alliance" was formed. By now, influence of the Hakis Herbivis was as strong as that of The Grox - however, the Hakis Herbivis are pro-life, excluding war-like, aggressive races (the irony of their alliance is well-known!). Much of the Home Arm of Haalia was conquered, but what Empires remained were very pesky to the Hakis, attacking worlds simply for, as they put it "Allied with Grox". Halki also went on several missions to find the world known to his people as "Terra", and succeded eventually, placing colonies in Antarctica, Africa, and Russia. This Earth was parallel, being different to the real Earth in that it lacked Humans. The Grox Alliance Galactic War is an ongoing conflict, resulting from the alliance with The Grox.
