The Unwanted
The Unwanted are a Warrior House in the service of the Hellions, and are led by Thundreas Hellion. The unofficial name of
this elite military group comes from the fact that its members
include the last survivors of several races that were exterminated
during the Great War. In addition to Jurada Link, the last member of the Tosan race,
the House of the Unwanted includes the last Sand King, Jugred'in, and the
last surviving member of the Eishi Reiza race, Miyuki. Oneron is
another oddity of this Warrior House, as he is a Technoton, but for various reasons chose to help the Hellions.
Thundreas' Warrior House is made up of people who were gifted with extraordinary abilities,
but who were unable to reintegrate into civilized society after the war. Having been actively involved in military operations,
some of them for hundreds of years, they had no place to return to for a normal life after open hostilities ended.
Jurada is Thundreas' second in command of this military group. His experience as a strategist and undercover agent makes
Jurada an exceptionally skilled leader. The main focus of this Warrior House is to
directly oppose the operations of the Ahillians and the Warrior Caste,
as these two races are largely responsible for the complete destruction of several races subordinate to the Hellions.
The Unwanted fight to protect the Hellion population and ensure that the plans of the Hellion leadership come to fruition.
Swords of Harmony
The Swords of Harmony is a Hellion Warrior House whose members are selected
exclusively from the Sekk'youn race.
Some members of this race possess a gene sequence that allows them to emit sounds of varying frequencies and
intensities from specialized organs in the neck or face area.
The only consideration the Hellions take into account when using the Swords of Harmony is that the
number of the Sekk'youn who possess the
necessary gene sequence and are strong enough to fight is minuscule.
As a consequence, the members of this Warrior House are responsible for the protection of Hellion dignitaries, as well as
the search-and-destroy military missions for which they became famous during the Great War. Their loyalty to the Hellions
and the sheer determination with which they carry out their missions make the Swords of Harmony
one of the most feared Warrior Houses in the Nobruga Galaxy.
Jiauroka
The Jiauroka is a Hellion Warrior House whose members specialize primarily in space combat.
All Jiauroka members belong to the Jiazrail race. The home planet of the Jiazrail race is located
on the far edge of the Hellion sector, in an isolated area of the Nobruga galaxy. While most races in the Hellion sector managed to make
contact with other civilizations relatively early in the era of space exploration, the Jiazrail, could only detect signs of intelligent life in the far reaches of space,
but did not have the technology to get there. As such, they had
devoted entire generations to developing the most sophisticated and technologically advanced ships
in the galaxy. Moreover, their obsession with space led them to live among the stars for more than a thousand years without ever
setting foot on a planet.
When the Jiazrail finally made contact with the Hellions,
the overwhelming technological superiority of their ships,
initially made them seem like an Ancient Race compared to the Hellions. While the Hellions benefited immensely from the Jiazrail's
technological advancement, the space nomads also benefited, finally finding a new home, a place in the union of races supported
by the Hellions, and access to all the discoveries the Hellions had made in the fields of medicine and those related to the
"Hyperconsciousness".
Due to their vast experience in space travel and shipbuilding, the Jiauroka are unsurpassed in space combat and serve as
one of the pillars of the Hellion army and the Hellion administration.
Ahillians
The Ahillians are one of the fiercest races in the Nobruga galaxy. Most of the soldiers in the Ahillian army have
a gene sequence that allows for rapid regeneration, making them fearless in battle and very difficult to kill.
The elite warriors are said to heal so quickly that cuts and bruises never appear on their bodies.
Even after the Great War, the Ahillian military numbered in the hundreds of thousands.
In stark contrast to their military doctrine, the Ahillian civilization is one of peace and friendship.
Throughout their history, they have expanded their influence, favoring cooperation with more than 100 Young Races.
While the Ahillian Monarchy strictly adheres to the warrior caste code of not helping the weaker, the Ahillians gain a
significant advantage from interbreeding with allied races,
especially considering that their regenerative genes are dominant. Their treaties ensure the security of all allied
solar systems and guarantee their political autonomy. The Ahillians are unimaginably ruthless
when the sovereignty or security of their allies is threatened.
During the Great War, the Ahillians
fought fearlessly and achieved many victories against the Hellions and the Church,
as well as many of the Young Races that were allied with them. This bravery has earned them the respect of the Warrior Caste,
who have accepted them as equal allies worthy of support and cooperation.
Dark Brotherhood
The inhabitants of Olierentis are a Young Race with close ties to the Ahillian Monarchy.
Though not considered their equals, they are the only race that has benefited greatly from their alliance with the Ahillians.
Most of the planet's intellectuals study in Ahillian universities, gaining access to considerable technical and scientific
knowledge that they can bring back to their home planet. In addition,
the population of Olierentis is strongly encouraged to marry into Ahillian families.
The entire population of Olierentis is endowed with a strong connection with the "Hyperconsciousness",
giving all of them the potential to generate energy fields stronger than most Young Races.
The few highly gifted individuals can become so powerful, that they can even
compete with the average soldier of the Old Races. These aspects led to the emergence of an elite group of
warriors called "The Dark Brotherhood" in the last few hundred years of the Great War. These super-soldiers are highly
respected on Olierentis, gaining a preferential status and eventually ruling the planet. Though they operate almost
exclusively as assassins, their reign has led to considerable technological and social improvements
on Olierentis.
The Dark Brotherhood is secretive, and little is known about its organization and laws. However, one of the most
obvious aspects of the Brotherhood's culture is the fact that most new cities on Olierentis are
built in the same style and fashion (tall, black, metallic buildings) as the cities on Sirrius,
the Warrior Caste's capital planet. It is believed that these actions were part of an
effort to gain the favor of the Caste.
It is unclear how much the Warrior Caste appreciates the strength of the Brotherhood, as they are primarily
involved in assassinations, which are considered shameful and dishonorable by the Caste.
Drezzen
Drezzen is a Warrior House loyal to the Warrior Caste of Sirrius. It comprises incredibly strong individuals who have been
recruited and trained by the Caste. The main criteria for selection are an energy field and combat skills
equal to those of the elite soldiers of the Old Races.
Although they are few in number, they are incredibly strong.
A peculiarity of this Warrior House is that it was created by Arhemon, and its existence is
kept secret even among the elite of the Warrior Caste.
The members of this Warrior House have also been educated and helped to reach key positions
in various governments and organizations in the 100 Kingdoms and even other Warrior Houses. This allowed Arhemon to easily
control or influence most of the ruling parties of the 100 Kingdoms.
The leader of the Warrior Caste accepted the stain on his honor that this approach brought,
but having powerful people in key positions helped him achieve his goals hidden from public view.
Ha Mong
The Ha Mong Warrior House originated on Duyaeng, the closest inhabitable planet to the Ahillian homeworld.
These two races had a similar history and development over the past millennia. While the Ahillians expanded their
influence and developed strong relations with many other races, the inhabitants of Duyaeng maintained
only diplomatic relations with the Warrior Caste. During the Great War, they participated in
military operations alongside the Caste and the Ahillians, and have come to
respect and accept the Ahillians.
Unless absolutely necessary, they avoid any contact with any other race. Their solar system is closed to trade routes,
and they have ambassadors on only a handful of planets. Their secrecy has attracted the attention of the Church,
which has inspected the planet several times, but has found nothing remotely dangerous or illegal on it.
The Duyaeng is simply not a very hospitable race.
Their lack of interest in other races has led to the creation of a Warrior House that
lacks any trace of compassion or remorse. The Ha Mong are masters of poison and
do not refrain from killing civilians. No rules apply as long as they are paid what they believe they are worth.
A few of the Ha Mong leaders have also worked their way into the Hygerta conglomerate,
but they occupy middle management positions to avoid attracting too much attention.
They are only placed there to secure contracts for their unique and terrible skills.
Hygerta
Hygerta is a galactic financial conglomerate engaged in the
production and commercialization of weapons and military spaceships,
primarily for other races of the 100 Kingdoms. As a secondary line of business, they
train and deploy mercenary units as
protection or active participants in conflict zones. Providing security for most planets, the Hygerta mercenaries are
usually a much cheaper alternative to the Warrior Caste.
While they pride themselves with some elite units that have made significant contributions in various military operations,
they focus on quantity rather than quality. They realized early on that large numbers of decent soldiers
with state-of-the-art weaponry were more lucrative and, in most cases, more efficient for their clients'
needs than small units of super-soldiers. As a result, most of the mercenaries working for Hygerta
do not even come close to the power and capabilities of the Old Races.
Galactic politics are of no interest to the Hygerta conglomerate. As long as there is war somewhere,
they will always provide their services for the right price. However, their connection to the Ahillians has
provided an opportunity for great profit by participating as support for Ahillian military operations,
especially in the 100 Kingdoms sector. In this regard, they have also begun to secretly
manage the Koroya and other Warrior Houses, due to their connections
with many governments and the ease with which they can
transport large armies within the sector.
Koroya
The Koroya people are a Young Race that has experimented extensively with developing animals that can
telepathically connect with soldiers and transfer energy to them,
increasing their strength and abilities in battle. After centuries of unnatural and grotesque experimentation,
the Koroya have managed to alter the genetic code of some animals and enhance them with
nanomachines in order to ensure a symbiotic relationship between soldiers and their animal companions.
This is how the Koroya Warrior House was born.
Because their actions threatened to bring the population closer to the deviant races, the Church banned all similar
research and attempted to identify all Koroya soldiers who had undergone this unnatural transformation. No one could have
predicted the number of Koroya soldiers who had bonded with their animal companions, as there are more than two hundred
thousand soldiers with this ability. The Koroya's greatest problem is moving their massive armies
without being detected by the Church.
Shin'Kensai
The Technotons had spent hundreds of generations trying to improve the mental potential of their people. Through
meticulous genetic manipulation and controlled breeding, they had succeeded in creating highly intelligent,
almost emotionless individuals. However, this process resulted in the exclusion of gene sequences that
also conferred extensive physical abilities, limiting the physical progress of the Technotons and diminishing
their ability to heal and maintain a healthy body.
The need for an elite military unit was only a secondary reason for the creation of the Shin'Kensai Warrior House.
All members of the Shin'Kensai are the result of a secret program meant to reintroduce the genes responsible for
emotions and physical health back into the Technoton genome. To the Technotons, these are
the chosen descendants of the entire race, the hope of a better future
where the sins of their arrogance will be forgiven and forgotten.
Developed under the guidance of the Technoton Artificial Intelligence and with the
efforts of the Hive Mind, Vik, the galaxy's most experienced geneticists, the soldiers of the
Shin'Kensai are the pinnacle of Technoton evolution,
gracefully combining enhanced intellect with superior physical abilities.
While female Shin'Kensai soldiers exist, they rarely participate in military operations,
as they are still rare and considered invaluable to the perpetuation of the new breed of Technotons.
Although the Shin'Kensai Warrior House was created over 200 years ago, their existence was the Technotons'
best kept secret, and their operations were so covert and well hidden that their actions were unknown to any other race.
To prevent the "Hyperconsciousness" from interfering with their genetic manipulation, the Shin'Kensai were all decoupled from it,
which also meant that the Church could not have visions of them.
