Kiith Naabal is one of the most important Kiithid in Hiigaran history, having united the others into their Coalition of the Northern Kiithid.
History[]
Kiith Naabal's ancestors were the engineers and technicians of the Khar-Toba, the ship that brought the exiled Hiigarans to Kharak. They made sure the ship kept running without the malfunctions that claimed several other ships of its class. The Naabali symbol was found in the Khar-Toba alongside other Kithiid's symbols, as they were one of the original Kiithid that arrived on Kharak. After Khar-Toba's abandonment, however, they disappeared from history for a few centuries.
Kiith Naabal was an almost unknown Kiith in the early history of Kharak - their name only rarely appears in the context of tradesmen or heretics. One possible reason for this is that, for centuries, they were met with hostility by many of the other Kiithid, especially Kiith Gaalsien. Kiith Naabal is one of the most industrious kiith and is famed for its role in ending the Heresy Wars. During the Heresy Wars, the Naabal were persecuted by Kiith Gaalsien and forced to the fringe of Kharak's northern habitable zone. Here they founded the city of Tiir and enacted a strict isolationist stance, often forcing those few who found their home to join their kiith.
The Naabal maintained their position until the rise of Ifriit Naabal-Sa who proposed intervening in the Heresy Wars. He lead Kiith Naabal into the war and overpowered the other kiith. The Naabali had an enormous technological advantage in the form of steam power, gunpowder and motorized vehicles. Following the Naabali intervention, the centuries-long conflict was ended in only three years, with the Naabal emerging victorious.
Kiith Naabal offered the various warring kiithid scientific knowledge in return for the laying down of arms and ushered in the Time of Reason. To unite the various kiithid, Ifriit created a joint governing council, the Daiamid, which was based in the Naabal capital of Tiir. The Naabal were responsible for rebuilding infrastructure on Kharak following the Heresy Wars and freely gave their knowledge to any kiith that requested it.
Following the discovery of the Khar-Toba, the Naabal along with Kiith S'jet and Kiith Soban were in charge of the study of all wreckage and technologies found there. Kushan archaeologists theorized that the Naabal were descendants of the engineering teams of the starship.
Kiith Naabal also financed many of the various space-based scientific facilities, including the research outposts on the moons of Haarsuk. A great number of the Naabal were placed in Cryo Trays as sleepers after the destruction of Kharak.
After the Hiigarans landed on Hiigara, Kiith Nabaal attempts to absorb Kiith Somtaaw, citing Somtaaw's low population (barely 15,000) and the need for Somtaaw's mining expertise. When the Taiidan attacked and attempted to raid Hiigara, one carrier the Veer-Rak (under the Kiith's banner), called on any Hiigaran ships in range to help the attacks and was in charge of defending the Homeworld.
Later on in the Vaygr war, the Pride of Hiigara met with Captain Elohim Naabal of the Shipyard Naabal in the Sarum System, which was preparing to rally the Hiigaran fleet to drive back the Vaygr threat. Soon afterwards when the Mothership Fleet at last unleashed a counterattack against the Vaygr, the Shipyard Naabal joined the Mothership Fleet and played a crucial role in repairing the severely damaged Gatekeeper of Sajuuk.
Then 15 years into the Age of S'jet, they decided to appoint a Fleet Command liaison, tactical adviser and executive officer, aka Joanna Naabal to guide several Kiith's into a new unexplored galaxy know as the Nimbus Galaxy.
