Biography

The Kushan were a people descended from the Hiigarans that originated from the Inner Rim world of Hiigara. Long ago, they once ruled the Hiigaran empire that was divided into a number of extended families that commanded a great deal of territory until a war with the Taiidan. The conflict led to the Hiigaran's defeat and they were exiled from their homeworld and forced to wander to a new world. Some of the Hiigarans came to hide within the Great Nebula that became known as the Garden of Kadesh where they became the Kadeshi who saw their new home as sacred and preyed on any intruders to ensure that the Taiidan never learnt of their existence. Another group of Exiles continued their journey were they came to find a desert world that came to be known as Kharak. These ships settled the barren world where in time they forgot their origins and developed a new culture and belief system as the survivors became the Kushan. Their origins in space were lost to memory and they had forgotten the age old edict that stated that they were never to develop space travel again as per the terms with the Taiidan empire. For the next 3,000 years, the Exiles continued to live on Kharak with their history being myth and legend that was forgotten by their people.

Overview

In appearance, the Kushan and their Hiigaran ancestors bipedal beings that resembled humans.

Dating back from their Hiigaran roots, the Kushan were divided into a number of extended families known as a Kiith. Among the various Kiithid were:

  • Kiith S'jet :
  • Kiith Soban :
  • Kiith Naabal :
  • Kiith Manaan :
  • Kiith Somtaaw :
  • Kiith Hraal/LiirHra :
  • Kiith Gaalsien :
  • Kiith Siidim :
  • Kiith Paktu :
  • Kiith Kaalel :
  • Kiith Magann :
  • Kiith Sagald :
  • Kiith Jaraci :
  • Kiith Tambuur :

The ruling family of a Kiith held the position of Kiith-Sa. Certain Kiith developed their own companies that produced equipment and technology such as S'jet Aerospace. On Kharak, the Kiith of the north formed an allied government that looked to re-establish their space presence as the planet was dying with these becoming the Coalition of the Northern Kiithid. A legislative body that unified the Kiith was the Great Daiamid that dated from the time of the Hiigaran empire.

From the Gaalsien came a group that were called the Khaaneph (Translation: Godless) that were a group that inhabited the deep deserts. They were said to believe in nothing and were not a Kiith but rather scavengers who took anything from corpses to equipment for raw material.

A common belief among the races of the galaxy that included the ancient Hiigarans and the Kushan was that surrounding a deity known as Sajuuk who was known as the "Great Maker" or as "He Whose Hand Shapes What Is". Unknown to anyone, Sajuuk was one of the ancient Progenitors who crafted the Three Hyperspace Cores.
