Naylar: Difference between revisions

The dominant power in the [[Par'tha Expanse]] is the [[Valcarian Imperial Republic]], even though the [[Species: Caraadian|Caraadians]] would have one believe otherwise. While the empire's borders do not officially extend to the Naylar's home system, the Valcarians' sphere of influence is far reaching. The Naylar knew that if the [[Species: Valcarian|Valcarians]] foresaw the Naylar as a possible threat, they would attempt to conquer them. The Council felt it best to avoid any conflict, yet at the same time felt that their culture would be destroyed if they surrendered to [[Valcarian Imperial Republic|Valcarian]] rule. So, just as they had with the [[Species: Caraadian|Caraadians]] centuries earlier, they deceived the empire when first contact was made. As far as other races in the [[Par'tha Expanse]] are concerned, the Naylar civilization is just beginning to discover space flight and has not yet independently expanded beyond their own system. They have no technology that the [[Species: Valcarian|Valcarians]], [[Species: Caraadian|Caraadians]] or [[Species: Illaran|Illarans]] do not already possess, and are in no way technological equals.

What the species of the [[Par'tha Expanse]] fail to realize is the extent of the Naylar's cultural and technological advancements. The Naylar have successfully hidden the fact that they have faster-than-light propulsion, advanced weaponry and even cloaking technology. Most see a highly populated single home world, with a fledgling colony on the next closest planet. What they do not see is the more than four hundred separate artificial habitats and other space stations in orbit around [[Kala'din]], all of them cloaked. Nor do they see the Naylar's interstellar navy, also cloaked, throughout the system. As long as the other species of the [[Par'tha Expanse]] pursue no aggressive action towards them, the Naylar are content to hide their true society from everyone else.
