Creature:Mahanayan

"Desert Warriors, at some level. But they have technology that is beyond anything i've ever seen; it is best to stay away from them."

Mahanayans are a strong, tall and sentient race which originate from Planet Mahanaya.

Evolution
The Mahanayans evolved into early quadrupedal plated pseudoreptilians about 6.7 billion years ago on the desert planet Mahanaya. The Mahanayan's herbivorous anatomy lead them to a difficult life in the plains; with little abundance of plantlife. The Mahanayans evolved into their current state about 40 million years ago, climbing to the top of the food chain very slowly.

The early Mahanayans were hunted down by massive creatures (which now are pets of the Mahanayans) however, their structure meant very quick escapes (Mahanayans at their state 5.8 billion years ago sprinted in excess of 149mph) and did attack other predators when threatened. They developed large retractable claws and talons, plus greater armour plating, some early Mahanayans developed four eyes (now considered to be Mahanayans with a different past) while others remained with two.

The Mahanayans then developed to be bipedal, with a total weight of over 2,000lbs and a height of 9 foot 10 inches.

Tribal
The Mahanayan Tribes became one of the most widespread in Mahanaya 140,000 years ago, due to their aggressive nature. Other tribes were extincted when other sentinent species arose by the Mahanayans. Soon afterwards, the Mahanayans grown to an early civilisation when they realised that they prospered as one large commune.

Mahanayan Tribes (i.e. the Kalka Tribe - the most famous) were known by their family and nearby families, often two or three families by 4000 years would have at least 50 generations. Each Tribe had an emblem, of which is worn by every tribe member. Each tribe had their own type of hut, weaponry and attire.

Civilisation
The Mahanayans had many civilisations in the last 40,000 years;


 * Ehyawani - The first of the civilsations which was conquered by the Askayit 21,900 years ago.
 * Askayit - A civilisation which conquered many others. Defeated by the Bavyatha.
 * Bavyatha - The greatest of all civilisations which unified all others 2,850 years ago.
 * Janahyatu - The smallest of the civilisations who discovered alien technology (which propelled Bavyatha unification into the Space Age), and never used it for destructive purpose.
 * Dyamahitu - A warrior tribe who ultimately failed to conquer, and was conquered by the Askayit.
 * Xemityma - Discovered alien technology and attempted to use it for their conquering - but destroyed themselves by a technological mishap.

The Bavyatha's unification happened 2,850 years ago when they defeated the Askayit (infamous conquerers who wanted global domination, soon after they knew of the alien's technology on Mahanaya) and had vowed that no other evil like the Askayit could rise again. They and the Janahyatu Tribe used the alien technology and developed from an early civilsation to a highly advanced world; if it weren't for such technology, the Mahanayans would have evolved much slower.

Space
Due to the alien technology, Mahanayans became extremely advanced (the reason is a part of an alien ringworld crashed into Mahanaya 14,000 years ago, containing masses of technology) and was able to create spacecraft with a high degree of power, nearing energy weaponry. Mahanayans soon colonised nearby moons, and then planets. Soon afterwards, the Mahanayans discovered more alien tech ruins, and now colonized other systems.

The Mahanayans currently control 2752 systems and 6120 planets with a total population of 11.52 billion. They did control more, until Hez'Kalka conquered a part of it.

Religion
Mahanayan Originalists still worship their Tribal Stage gods, but their religion remains unknown, save for having at least 510 gods. Some 20,000 years ago, it was believed that a powerful race visited Mahanaya and have introduced them technology which was lost, greater than that of which was discovered. Ancient records show that these 'aliens' actually visited Mahanaya, and some worship them to this day. Hez'Kalka, for example, has searched far and wide for these aliens and searches have lead him to this universe. Hez'Kalka has recovered some of their technology and has discovered a great deal within this one.

Technology
The technology of Mahanaya exceeds that of many races in this universe and even exceeds that of the Shka'Tun of Universe 66501. Their technology was inherited from an unknown alien race, of which a fragment of a massive structure crashed into Mahanaya 14,000 years ago, presumably destroyed by another alien race. The technology is, at its greatest, energy tech.

Militia
"Knowing their near impossible technology, even the rookie of this lot is deadlier than us."

Mahanayan Militia is an organized rank system consisting of four main types of warriors; Infantry, Sniper, Juggernaut and Ultra.

Infantry
Infantry are the main force of the Mahanayan army, who are flexible in many types of weaponry. Infantry are often armed with a '''M-01011000 Mk. I Cannon''' (Shown in the picture), which is light (at least for Mahanayans - 32lbs) and fires bolts of energy which destroys most objects on contact. They are also armed with a M-01010100 Pistol, which is able to blow an armoured trooper to pieces, and two M-01000100 Grenades, which often burst with energy and can destroy multiple targets at once.

Infantry forces are equipped in standard Mahanayan armour, which is three times as thick as their skin (and their skin itself is very thick) which weighs in excess of 160lbs. Even at that weight, Mahanayans are mobile and can sprint good distances.

Juggernauts
Juggernauts are terrifying, extremely powerful and resilient forces on the battlefield, impossible to take down unless antimatter weaponry is present. Armed with the M-01011000 Mk.I and Mk.II Cannons (Mk.II is heavier and more destructive), the Juggernaut is as aggressive as he is protected. They are sometimes armed with a M-01000100 Grenade. These warriors are used mainly for anti-armour and anti-vehiacular purposes.

Juggernauts are equipped in high-stat Mahanayan armour, fourteen times as thick as their skin, and weighs over 500lbs. These warriors are larger, but slower. These are the only warriors who are issued with head protection, and their helmets provide magnification for long distance assault.

Snipers
Snipers are in fact rare in battle, used for taking out larger enemies when needed. Very difficult to locate due to their high tech equipment, Snipers are precise and do not ever hesitate when firing. Armed with a M-01000011 Sniper, M-01010100 Pistol and a M-01000100 Grenade, Snipers are well equipped in a situation regarding far, mid and close range. Their Sniper Rifle is extremely long range (able to shoot over 10 miles away with no effort) and up close can obliterate an enemy.

Snipers are unique due to their special armoured jetpack (used to ascend to sniper spots and escapades) and cloaking device. They are stealthy enough to remain in a high security zone for hours without being detected. Their armour does not provide much protection but keeps their mobility up.

Ultras
"Surrikum ominarye."

- Common phrase by Ultras

Mahanayan Ultras are the elite forces; equipped with many devices and armed with a M-01011000 Mk.II Cannon and M-01010100 Pistol with two M-01000100 Grenades (standard loadout; most Ultras vary), Ultras lead forces into battle with little or no fear in their minds. More accurate than the standard warrior, an Ultra can turn the Energy Pistol into a Sniper. Their initial strength is leveling a Juggernaut and is able to wield the Mk.II Cannon with one hand, and have their pistol in another. Ultras rarely wear helmets like the Juggernauts do, but give a cosmetic effect to intimidate enemies.

Ultras' armour is a variant of the Juggernaut armour; lighter but is very well protected. They can be armed with cloaking devices, jetpacks and sometimes power shields for close quarter combat. Ultras can be armed with a M-01001111 Energy Knife which can penetrate resilient armour and is used for assassination tactics.

Imitaku


Mahanayan Imitaku (Mahanayan for 'Demon', full name Imitakuisilahina) are the most powerful of the Mahanayans aside from Hez'Kalka. Armed with a Daemasword (Xhodocto intergrated swords), the Imitaku are immensely feared by the Mahanayan Legion. They wear intimidating headresses with glowing lights on their armour, which induces fear in their enemies. They also have their skin painted crimson and their armour coloured gold.

Imitahin


The Imitahin, otherwise known as the 'Cult Guard' are thought-to-be descended warriors, possessing some of the most terrifying armour in the Cult as well as one of the most powerful weapons. They have a more religious definition than the other warriors and are seen in very important missions. There have been more agile versions of these warriors seen, but no evidence has been found.

Known Mahanayans

 * Warlord Hez'Kalka Naystathyo - The Warlord of Mahanaya who conquered 34% of the Mahanayan Empire.
 * Janim'Kalka Naystathyo - Father of Hez'Kalka. Killed in the Mahanayan Civil War.

 * Isilahina - Warrior

Phrases

Trivia

 * It is likely that what caused the alien technology crashing into Mahanaya was a Tier 0 race, possibly Xhodocto.
 * It is also likely that the powerful race that visited Mahanaya was Xhodocto as well, maybe surveying nearby planets.
 * The race which had their technology crashing into Mahanaya was a high Tier 0 race, but extremely secretive.
 * The Mahanayan's weapon codes are Binary. When arranged correctly and translated they become X-D-C-T-O (Xhodocto).
