Race: Ka'Nid
Homeworld: Ka'Nid'Ae (destroyed)
Description: The Ka'Nid are a canine-like people who originated from the planet Ka'Nid'Ae. They are bipedal with five fingers and toes on each hand and foot. They are covered in fur, have a bushy tail and are warm bloodied. They stand between 1.52 and 1.88 meters tall. Ka'Nid are relatively short-lived compared to other spieces, living on average 40-50 standard calendar years.
Government: Republic of Tirell
Language: Galactic Standard Basic, Kalic, Kali-form (a devolved form of Kalic spoken mainly on outer colony worlds).
History: Around 2,500BBY the Ka'Nid people grew tired of the slavers, crime lords and bounty hunters who constantly harrassed them. In a dramatic and bloody, but incredbily short civil war, they overthrew their corrupt and restricting governments and united under a single, ordered and militaristic one led by the enigmatic Drog Kupur. To overcome the decadance and poverty of his people, Kupur launched a massive expansion into the space around Ka'Nid'Ae. With only a rag-tag fleet of salvaged ships, poorly equipped troops but fantastic strategies, he managed to take and secure several nearby systems from their criminal overlords.
At the same time as driving out thier enemies, the Ka'Nid established colonies and acquired new sources of raw materials with which to trade and establish key industries to help their own growth.
By 1,000BBY the Ka'Nid had become a respectable politcal power in the southern sector of the Inner Rim. They had also expanded again and had established 253 colonies of various size and autonomy. They reservedly joined the Republic, mainly to enhance their trade.
In 825BBY Ka'Nid'Ae, the Ka'Nid homeworld, was destroyed by the Ka'Nids in an effort to eradicate the Dras. The Dras were a fungoid-like race who had appeared apparantly from no where and attacked several Ka'Nid systems, slaughtering all before them. The only effective way to defeat them was to scour the planet of all life, as no matter how many were defeated more seemed to appear from nowhere. This left a string of world devoid of any life or atmosphere, and these became known as the dead worlds.
After the Scouring of Ka'Nid'Ae, the government was re-established on Tirell the largest centre of Ka'Nid after Ka'Nid'Ae. The remains of their once beautiful homeworld have become the central base for the Ka'Nid space fleet.
The Ka'Nid left the Republic just before the beginning of the events that led to its downfall. They did little to support or oppose the Galactic Empire.
In 7ABY a group of high ranking military officers and influencial traders overthrew the military government, angry that they had done nothing to support the Rebel Alliance. They established a new government that was a Republic in name, but highly authoritarian in nature thanks to the heavily miltaristic nature of Ka'Nid society.
The Ka'Nids take a more active role in the galaxy under thier new government and help persecute the Imperial Remenant and defend against the Yuuzhan Vong.
Despite the collapse of the Galactic Alliance in 130ABY, the Ka'Nids still continue to support the Galactic Alliance Remenant and the Jedi Order against the Sith. This is causing a rift in Ka'Nid society as they come under increasing pressure from the Sith and Imperial forces to bow down to Darth Krayt and the New Galactic Empire. Some wish to give in or become neutral to preserve their way of life, while others are determined to resist.
