Fauna
|
| While possessing a primarily arid biome, Nehantish is home to a vast variety of non-sentient species. Insect, reptile, amphibian, mammal and avian species resemble those found on hundreds of other planets, with little deviance in design other than an adaptation for a more arid climate. Until the invention of motorized transport, the horse and camel were primary means of transportation, and are still in wide use in more remote areas of the world to this day. Domestication of animals appears to have taken place much earlier in the development of civilized culture, despite the Nehantite's only more recent rise to civilization itself. Conservation efforts of endangered species does not seem to be a primary concern, unless that species has been prized for hunting or medical purposes.

Nehantish
The most arid of all the great nations. Those who hail from Nehantish are called "Nehantite" (Pronounced NEH-HAHN-tite). Nehantish is a true desert superpower and is unrivaled among its peers for its military might and weapons technology. It was because of this that the Galactic Republic chose to deal with the Sultan of Nehantish when they first came to the planet, and the Sultan agreeed to construct a massive spaceport as part of the planet's consideration of admission into the Republic. While the planet was was never fully ratified as a Republic member, they did enjoy Republic trade agreements and Republic protection along major shipping lanes. With the conversion of the Republic into the Empire, Nehantish's primary spaceport was seized by Imperial forces for several months, but eventually released as the Empire found no strategic value in the planet. Officially Nehantish is a neutral planet and kingdom, but is under Imperial monitoring for trade and military regulation. Throughout the kingdom of Nehantish, Imperial law is followed loosely, but royal law supercedes it in most cases, as is Nehantish's right as a neutral party.
Formed of vast deserts and rocky formations, Nehantish is primarily a land and air power, with a standing army of over one million soldiers. Despite its power, the kingdom is only the third most populous, behind Munjesh and Meyquan, but it boasts the highest standard of living, and is the de facto representative of the Nehantite race in interplanetary affairs.
Munjesh
The most populous nation on Nehantish. Those who hail from Munjesh are called "Munjan" (Pronounced moon-JAHN) (rest to be filled in later, basically it's India)
Kuf
The least advanced and least populated of the five great nations. Those who hail from 'Kuf are called "Kufu" (Pronounced KOO-foo) (restto be filled in later, basically it's Africa)
Midloth
The most technologically advanced of the five great nations. Those who hail from Midloth are called "Midlothian" (Pronounced mid-LOW-thee-ann(to be filled in later, basically it's southern Europe)
Cathay
The most secretive of the five great nations. Those who hail from Cathay are called "Cathanese" (Pronounced ca-thah-NEES), unless they are from the most easterly region known as Kagedo, in which case they would be called "Kaganese" (Pronounced KAH-GAH-nees) (rest to be filled in later, basically it's Asia)

History
|
| The Ivanova Incident: While most Nehantites were content to be mechanics and engineers for other races, there was growing discontent in the strength of Nehantish's own fleet, and lack of respect their race received in interplanetary politics. Thirty-seven years ago, out of this frustration, a group of fifteen Nehantite engineers from various kingdoms overthrew the staff of the luxury starliner, the Ivanova, and declared the ship now belonged to them and held its wealthy passengers for ransom. While the ship was surrounded and boarded two days later, and the Nehantites responsible were killed in the raid, the incident exploded like wildfire across the galaxy, and hundreds of thousands of Nehantites quickly found themselves unemployed. Despite a massive series of PR projects, and slashing their desired wage requests to undercut other species, the demand for Nehantite engineers has only marginally recovered since the incident.
