Nainehta

The Nainehta are a relatively old species, with great understanding of faster than light travel, and an exemplary Navy.

History
Nainehta originate from the planet Snehta, approximately 500 light years away from Earth. The Nainehta are believed to be 200,000 years old, though some claim to find fossils dating back to 278,000 BCE.

Early civilization
The Nainehta started out as a war-loving culture. They quickly organized themselves into tribes, annoiting the strongest of them, male or female, as the leader. It wasn't until 13,000 BCE that the Nainehta developed complex civilizations.

Dark ages
For a peroid of a thousand year, beginning in 11,000 BCE, the Nainehta entered a Dark age. They were overwhelmed with war and corruption. Disease was also widespread, responsible for more Nainehtan deaths than actual war.

Nainehta Renaissance
The Nainehta experienced their own reinassance after the thousand-year long dark ages. Their renaissance lasted for five hundred years, in that time, they were able to develop space flight capabilities. Most Nainehta had also abandoned the idea of a deity.

More Dark Ages
Many Nainehta expressed discontent, with the majority of the Nainehta population turning away from their ancestor's gods. In 9,500 BCE, the first religious extremist group was formed, and they carried out many terror attacks on the other Nainehta. For three thousand years, the Nainehta plummeted back down a deep, dark hole. Eventually, their own technology became their undoing. The availability of nuclear and chemical weapons led to the Nainehta nearly exterminating themselves. It would be a long while before they would return, though living on a planet consumed by nuclear fallout altered them, making them extremely resistant to radiation.

Modern Era
After the Nainehta reemerged from the grave they dug themselves, they prospered. Having learnt their lesson, Nainehta vowed never to kill one another again. By the year 100 CE, the Nainehta had space travel capabilities sufficient enough to reach their moon, which orbited 250,000 kilometres away from their planet. Advancing in technology over the next two thousand years, though very slowly because of religious influence, the Nainehta were capable of creating stealth ships, traveling at FTL speeds, and had set up a system of nearly forty-seven colonies, all of which answer to the king or queen of the Nainehta, whom is usually on Snehta.
