THE KITTANI
devastating wars. In their early history, the Kittani had conquered many worlds and were exploring the outer reaches of their galaxy when they encountered a mechanical race of aliens obsessed with the annihilation of all humanoid life. To the Kittani's disbelief, they were no match for these new invaders and their billions of cybernetic warriors. These alien marauders, who call themselves the Mechanoids, were relentless in their attacks against the Kittani in spite of heavy losses. In fact, the seven year conflict that ensued was one of the most extensive and cataclysmic wars the Mechanoids had ever waged. But in the end the Kittani fell, as had all others.
Luckily, a vast fleeing Kittani armada filled with refugees was swallowed up by a wormhole as it was trying to escape an encroaching Mechanoid fleet. Saved from the brink of destruction by this dimensional opening, the Kittani found a new homeworld and began the effort of repopulating their peoples. The Kittani have prospered and now have a medium-sized empire near Golgan space, with a cloned population of over 50 billion citizens. Neither the Golgans nor the Kittani get along well, having fought several battles over border worlds and both are now in a state of cold war with one another. In earlier wars the Kittani Empire was crushed between the Golgans and the Splugorth, losing almost half their empire before suicidal ramming attacks by the Kittani forced a now long-standing truce. Millions of Kittani have been sold as slaves across the Three Galaxies, mostly in Splugorth markets.
