StarCitizen:Kr’Thak

The Kr'ThakTemplate:SClang is a developed, spacefaring alien civilization.

History

StarCitizen:Humans have had no contact with the Kr'Thak. What is known to the StarCitizen:UEE about the Kr'Thak comes only from the StarCitizen:Xi'an. The StarCitizen:Xi'an and Kr'Thak have been enemies for 800 years and for the StarCitizen:UEE to try and make contact with their allies' enemy is a difficult political decision still in the works.<ref>Template:Cite RSI</ref> The Xi'an probably arrested the freelance hauler StarCitizen:Jenk Gallen in 2943 for such an attempt.

The StarCitizen:Xi'an emperor has been quoted stating the Kr'Thak are an enemy of the StarCitizen:Xi'an. The Kr'Thak have a long history of war with the StarCitizen:Xi'an. This conflict, known as the StarCitizen:Spirit Wars, has lasted 800 years.<ref>Template:Cite RSI</ref>

Notably, the word Kr'thak does not conform to standard Xi'an pronunciation, implying that it is derived from the species' own language, and not a Xi'an designation.

Localization

The Kr'Thak territory shares a border with the Xi'an Empire on the "opposite side" of the UEE controlled-space.<ref>YouTube: Star Citizen Live: Alien Week Roundtable (June 2020), acc. 2019-06-13</ref> Since jump-points are able to form connections and disconnect from other jump-points (as seen in the Oretani-jump point collapse), there is a theoretical chance that a direct jump-point to the Kr'Thak exists somewhere in uncontrolled space or could appear 'out of nowhere'.

Homeworld

The Krell System is home system of the Kr'Thak.

Development

The Kr'Thak were originally created by Eric "Wingman" Peterson. The addition of it to Star Citizen was an early Stretch Goal of the original crowdfunding campaign in 2012.

"

My original idea was that they traded in information and could have information in real time through a secret technology so that they would have a shop in the seedy areas of landing zones that let you find out hints and clues of things about to happen and it would allow you to act upon those before the general populace.
Like if a new Asteroid field rich in gold was discovered, you would find out before others and be able to go stake your claim, or if a dignitary was traveling, you would perhaps get an intercept mission.
More of an information trading race that allowed you a time advantage. And they could travel amongst all races freely giving you tidbits about your enemies too....or allowing you to communicate with someone behind enemy lines in real time.
But that was what I was pitching back in the day, I am sure they have something cooler in mind now.
