Ka'het

"The Ka'het aren't normal spaceships. The debris we found were artificial exoskeletons, built around huge living beings; it's unlikely a species that big could have developed that sort of technology, so we presume someone must have created it for them." 
Taely, First Contact: Ka'het mission
The Ka'het are an engineered race inhabiting an area of the Ember Waste known as the Graveyard. They were created by the Builders, whom they later rebelled against and destroyed. The Ka'het are huge, fairly unintelligent beings who inhabit their spaceship shells.
== History ==
The Ka'het were originally created by the Builders as a defense force to protect them from any attacking aliens. They were first created in massive stations, which soon became centers of the Builder civilization. However, the Ka'het turned against the Builders and started attacking them. The Ka'het was winning significantly against the Builders, but their invasion was stopped when they reached the Quarg ringworld; after losing multiple worlds the Builders were severely weakened from the first invasion. The Builders then began construction of new Ka'het, which again turned against the Builders, who were destroyed in the second invasion. Production of Ka'het still continues in the Graveyard. 
== Attributes ==
The Ka'het are never encountered on the ground, and are only encountered in their ships. They are described as huge slug like beings. Ka'het ships are described as "shells" because they hold and protect one Ka'het. Ka'het have a very low intelligence, as their purpose was to fight, and not to be smart. They can even sometimes be seen fighting each other. Ka'het ships take extra damage while overheated, since the ship contains one huge living organism.

== Interspecies Relations ==
The Ka'het are generally hostile towards all species.
* Ka'het - The Ka'het are known to sometimes attack each other.
* Ka'mar - The Ka'mar are possibly the only faction the Ka'het have a friendly relationship with, including themselves. They were created some time before them, and replenish the storage of the Het stations.
* Hai - The Hai were the first alien species encountered by the Builders, and are the reason that Ka'het production began. 
* Remnant - Hostile, The Ka'het have attacked all Remnant scouts that have reached the graveyard.
* Quarg - Hostile, although the Quarg have abandoned the ringworld that was in Ka'het space.
* Human - Hostile, although the player is the first human encountered by the Ka'het.
== Notes ==
* The Ka'het, the Ka'mar and Builders were created by Tommaso Becca (aka Beccabunny), and was the first community created alien species that was merged into the game.
