Topic: Kiith


  
  Games - Kiith
The kiith are extended familial units on the planet Kharak; the game's historical context leads one to believe that this is one of the few surviving traits left over from the original empire the Kushan created.
While the kiith are not static by nature, it is considered a matter of grave consequence to change kiith ties or relations, especially among warring or adversarial kiith.
Kiiths tend to dedicate themselves to the pursuit of one goal or purpose, and while these purposes and goals have changed over time (especially during the construction of the Mothership and the journey to Hiigara), kiith still tend to have specific purposes.

Kiith was, normally, seen in the common New Republic orange Flight Suit....as he was, constantly, being called upon by his superiors.
Kiith, however, was becoming quite bored with his lifestyle; he had been a willing "servant" to his Parents' every need, he was becoming very good at flying....and, indeed, fighting, having trained in a Soban Simulator.
Kiith, mind you, had always been a good pilot, and, while preforming his Jedi duties, was able to be of some help to a Squadron of X-Wing Pilots.

Kiith Soban became a martial kiith from then on, and as years passed a peculiar set of rituals developed among them.
Although many other warrior kiith existed at the time, those kiiths were standard in their aims and organization; they were martial to the extent that they desired the property and possessions of their weaker neighbors.
When the services of any given Soban were bought, he or she would dress in the colors of the new kiith and fight in the service of that kiith, regardless of the personal risk or cost.

Kiith Hraal, however, was not amused by their children attempting to leave the nest without permission, and would not accept the proposed settlement quietly.

The transformation of Kiith Somtaaw from a primary religious kiith to a hard-working miner's kiith was a slow and painful one, and involved many generations of privation and suffering.

Of a kiith that had once been so strong, very few survivors remained; only 15,000 Somtaaw awakened on Kharak, less than a twentieth of their number, and the vast majority of these were men.
Somtaaw's fortunes were further complicated by a political conflict with Kiith Naabal, which made a bid seven years after landfall to absorb the Somtaaw survivors as a vassal clan.
While many of the established Kiith accused Somtaaw of further undermining the ancient social systems for their own benefit, the result was Somtaaw was granted access to the Mothership Station for a period of six months.

 Nabal Brotherhood - Kiith Story
There are few scattared mentions of them in the record of the major kiithid of the first epoch, but the name Naabal arises only in terms of tradesman or heretics.
Kiith Gaalsien were particularly vehement in the persecution of families under the Naabal flag, and there is some evidence that it was the Gaalsien presecution which drove Naabal to their hidden valley refuge, blasted into the edge of Kharak's tiny northern ice cap.
While the theory is convenient in terms of linking the unknown past with the present age of exploration, the evidence is too circumstancial for most scholars to give it much weight.

Although Kiith Spunj’s origins prior to the Heresy Wars are uncertain, it seems likely that they had a close association with Kiith Manaan, given the similarity in their policies and practices.
For more than two-hundred years leading up to the Heresy Wars, the scrolls were carried by the Kiith Sa and his family, and due to their age and fragility, unopened.
Afterwards, the scroll case was kept in the Halls of the Nabaal, in their capital at the South Pole, as one of the many artifacts the Nabaal hid and protected from the destruction of the Heresy Wars.

One that is more than capable of producing a whole new class of various and sundry craft ranging from those used to glean resources, to those that use their offensive powers, to [hopefully] ensure you victory.
But as is the case with the nations of the world today, there are differences between kiith and these differences, as well as the unsettled enemies that range space, cause you enough headaches to make this a highly worthy sequel to the original game.
Despite the fact that your kiith didn’t play a truly important role in the homecoming, as they were within a cryogenic state during the migration and the war, you have very little in the way of prestige.

 Kiith Gaalsien
While there is some debate about their specific origin in the collapse of Khar-Toba, it is clear that by the time civilization once again rose on Kharak, the Gaalsieni were already a spiritual and political force to be reckoned with.
Many vital survival tactics, such as conservation of resources and not risking the future of the kiith on untried methods, were reinforced by dogma in ancient Kharak; undesirable acts were always described in terms of punishable arrogance.
Fortunately for the technologically inclined among us, it was Kiith Naabal which emerged victorious from the Heresy Wars, and the dogma of penance and repression began to fade from the hearts and minds of Kharaki.
