Shield of Kytettee

''Duty. Honour. Unity.''

Seemingly the first galactic empire, the insectoid Takkatett had accomplished Gate technology and planetary colonisation long before humans first encountered them. This first contact was unfortunately taken as hostile action, and led to a brief but brutal war between the desperate, human refugees and the less advanced takkatett. In its conclusion the remnants of both groups combined, forming the civilisation known now as the Shield of Kytettee.

Ever since its creation the civilisation has technically been in a state of war, and its culture has grown to reflect that. All takkatett and humans born among the Kytettee will spend time doing military service before they are considered adult, and the economy is intrinsically linked to the military. One side affect of this is that none of the Kytettee languages have a word for peace: After so long spent at war, the average citizen will simply not be aware that there is any other way to be.
