Original Stories Fan Fiction ❯ Homeworld - Tales of the Vjel-Amaj: Aira's Quest - Part I ❯ Prologue ( Prologue )

The Kiith Amaj, the young but proud vigilant clan that endures support to those in need. Established only a few years ago, some will say that the Kiith Amaj is more likely a nation born only a single night ago. Long before its proclamation to an independent kiith, the planet and the star system where it existed was cartographically named as “Amaj” and was governed and populated under the strict colonial breeding doctrines and oppressing regulations of the Hiigaran Empire that survived the war against the nomadic Vaygr. Myriads of lives were lost during the last war, which led to drastic changes and the need for repopulation. Repopulation doctrines however oppressed citizens of various kiithid throughout the empire; one of these being the nation of “Amaj”. Following the few years of oppression, the people of ”Amaj” endured a revolution... and succeeded, as they convinced the great Daiamid - the supreme council of the kiithid nations and the hiigaran empire - to relieve the so-called amaji of the doctrinal oppression for their will of freedom and independence. Though succeeding by the laws of Hiiraga's kushan roots and heritage, the new kiith was however abandoned by greater kiithid and military navies - left alone at the edge of the hiigaran empire's reach. The outer rim of the empire is still today a much contested and dangerous place.

Still supported by other smaller honorable kiithid and foreign trade nations among its region, the Kiith Amaj now continues to stand its small ground in space against new enemies as it is the only freelancing kiith offering safe haven and asylum to those in need. There are still times where the Kiith Amaj requires support itself; likely that the powerless Kiith Amaj is dependent on the support of other supporting kiithid whenever in distress.

 

Serving the amaji navy as its flagship, the `Vjel-Amaj', its name derived from kushan history as "Haven Crest", is a star cruiser like no other - surprisingly for any military navy throughout the galaxy. With her size matching an undefined class by its aspects between destroyer and battlecruiser, the `Vjel-Amaj' is the only true deep space and most advanced vessel available to the independent Kiith Amaj. Unlike other ships among the kiithid of Hiigara or those of the taiidan and vaygr navy, where cannons, ships of all remarkable sizes, executive power and full military doctrines are proudly persistent, this nimble cruiser is a versatile wayfaring vessel, capable of deep space voyage, mining, telemetric observations, freighting and rescue operations... representing the only true pride for what the Kiith Amaj's agenda restlessly stands for... the pride of freedom.
