Yes, it is true. My people largely descend from the same bandits, crooks and killers who we hunt down. That is exactly the point; my people deserve better than this squalor! They will be corrected even if kills them!

- Chief Major Xerkea of the Niaka Special Forces

The Old Niaka Order was a territory made up of thousands of colonies who once lived in the Friura Sector of the Borealis Galaxy. The original culture of the Niaka species, the Old Order served as a persistent threat to many nations across their galactic arm, preying on those weaker than themselves and scavenging anything they could get their hands on to improve their own standing.

For most of their history, the Old Order was functionally a vassal state of the Wranploer Legion and the Borealis Consortium Network afterwards, indulging in whatever spoils they could claim that were left behind by the Wranploer. Eventually, a civil war within the Order led to a separatist group called the Niaka Special Forces to arise and lead the Niaka people into a new direction entirely, and the Order itself would collapse after their plans to destroy the Special Forces failed during the early Ice Age, leaving the separatists as the sole government of the Niaka people.

History[]

Early History[]

The Niaka became spacefaring about 12,000 years ago, spreading through their surrounding space while simply being known as 'Niaka Order'. While at first having ambitious of conquest against the other alien races of their galactic space, they would quickly meet their match in the Wranploer; seeing how they operated, an intimidated Niaka Order immediately changed their attitude, pledging allegiance to the Empire of Vijaha as allies who would help them in their conquests.

The Wranploer accepted this partnership due to finding use in the Niaka during their raids - mostly seeing them as cannon fodder -, and this relationship would persist for the next thousand of years. Due to a combination of political maneuvering and much groveling, they managed to keep their independence over the millenia, though they would gain a reputation of being bootlicks of the Wranploer across the galaxy. The rise of the Seagon into prominence led to a deep enmity between the two races, though the Wranploer kept them from going into all-out war with one another.

Galactic Wars[]

The Niaka Order was among the factions who joined the Wranploer Legion in the First Borealis Galactic War, stirred into a war frenzy by promises of loot and battle. They largely focused their efforts away from facing the Zoles Imperium and attacked the worlds of the Minga Theocracy, the Technocracy of Ocanius and the Gooplet Technocracy, though they underestimated these races and were defeated. With the rise of the original Polar Crystal Alliance, the Niaka Order was forced to flee back to Friura to lick their wounds.

At 2766, the Order plunged into a civil war due to the rise of a violent separatist named Xerkea, who defied the Captain Lords of the Order and sought better living standards to their people. This led to the Order being pushed out of their home space and to the foundation of the Niaka Special Forces, a faction made up of a pure antithesis to what the Niaka were like until then. The original faction would become known as Old Niaka Order from that point forth, constantly battling the Special Forces and attempting to retake their homeworld.

General Volim rallied the Old Order into his side during the Second Borealis Galactic War and, like during the First Galactic War, they were eager to go to war and take revenge on their foes; during the course of the war, they accompanied the Borealis Consortium Network and deeply indulged in the rise of the War Economy, continuing to fight the Special Forces but ultimately failing to defeat them again, especially with the rise of a new enemy in the form of the Seagon Cryptocracy. Upon the collapse of the Consortium Network, the Old Niaka Order took the chance and attacked a number of fractured Wranploer remnants in order to take their resources and defy the notion that they were their bootlicks.

Operation New Order[]

During the early Ice Age, the Old Order culminated all their efforts in a partnership with Soltako Armed Military, the galaxy's largest private military company, which would become known as Operation New Order; Zoltik Relkhul and his people would kidnap entire worlds and force them into fighting as an army against the Niaka Special Forces, giving the Old Order the numbers needed to finally retake the homeworld of Ikkiz. Captain Lord Xoraika, the leader of the Old Order by that time, needed to do this urgently, as he found droves of his people fleeing to the Special Forces as refugees due to becoming dillusioned with his leadership.

The Special Forces eventually unravelled the plot, though it did not stop the Old Order from launching an all-out invasion at Ikkiz, leading to the largest battle between the Niaka states since the civil war. The timely arrival of the Zoles and other aliens turned the tide of the battle, and Captain Lord Xoraika eventually lost his life in battle with Xerkea, leading to a resouding defeat to the Old Order.

Over the following months, the Special Forces retaliated with a ferocious invasion of Old Order space, hunting down all the lesser Captain Lords they could find and surrendering their colonies before they had the chance to reorganize themselves. With this, the Old Niaka Order was finally destroyed, its people being annexed into the Special Forces; those who refused fled away into the galaxy to become independent pirate guilds or joined up with the remnants of the Borealis Consortium Network.

Species[]

Government[]

The Old Niaka Order was a violent and mostly disunited kratocracy. The greatest leaders of their people were called the Captain Lords, the most successful space pirates who held sway over the most powerful fleets, and they ruled their worlds largely via intimidation. After having lost Ikkiz to the Special Forces, the Old Order converged their leadership around an ancient space station known as Order's Fist, where they plotted their revenge against their treacherous kin.

Society[]

As a predatory and hostile nation, the most successful space pirates of the Old Order lived opulent lives while the rest lived in poverty and squalors, being treated almost as slaves. After the First Galactic War, living conditions in the Old Order were considered among the worst in the whole galaxy, which is one of the factors that eventually led to the rise of the Special Forces. The very idea of police was alien to them as well, and conflicts were expected to be solved at an individual level, for the elite did not care unless they were personally affected.

Religion[]

The Old Order did not worship gods, but instead had a shamanistic view of the homeworld of Ikkiz, considering it a holy and sacred place; even before the rise of the Special Forces, Ikkiz was considered the one place where the Niaka would never commit violence upon each other. Most fleets had a number of spiritual leaders among them who offered bleesings of the homeworld upon the pirates in order to improve morale.

I'm not allowing that Xerkea runt to run our species into the ground.

  • Name - Xoraika
  • Species - Niaka
  • Status - Deceased

Captain Lord Xoraika was the final ruler of the Old Niaka Order, taking the power after assassinating the previous ruler. A very proud follower of the Old Order's ideals, he was determinated to end the Special Forces, and was ashamed that it was ruled by a member of his own family. Xoraika was short tempered and was prone to bursts of anger, a trait which appeared to be common on his family. He had much disdain against the Polar Crystal Alliance and saw the Wranploer as an old, fallen race who needed to be replaced. As all other Order Niaka, Xoraika had a deep hatred toward the Seagon people.

Xoraika orchestrated the events of Operation New Order and eventually attacked Ikkiz himself, where he fought and was killed by Xerkea after having his suit fall on top of him, crushing him under its weight. His death is credited as the catalyst that led to the Old Order's eventual defeat.
