Miktam

The Miktam, also called Miktamkind, is an intelligent, humanoid, organic lifeform composed of many subspecies. They have started to evolve and become intelligent much later on in the universe, compared to the fourth cycle of humanity. They seem to be based on animals and share half of their traits with them, as they are direct descendants of animals from a precedent cycle of humanity.

The Miktam are known for their extremely vast biodiversity within their own race, having multiple dozen subspecies to count for.

## Origins

The Miktam, as an intelligent race arose after the fourth cycle of humanity began, around A.D. 1400's. They are a rather intriguing evolution of animals, because in contrary to humans, who have lost their animalistic traits with evolution, the Miktam have not. Some of them look more animal than human, and vice-versa, but all subspecies seem to have around the same level of intelligence.

The origins of life for the Miktam is rather mysterious for many, due to how confusing it may be without proper knowledge. Three colonies: Michtam-04B, Teegarden-C, ESIRNUS and Astoltia were the starting points of the Miktam race, as all three colonies were filled of life prior to the Miktam becoming an intelligent race. It is theorised that some animals sent by humans in their third cycle may have found their way onto these colonies, and eventually gave rise to the Miktam, but that theory is heavily controversial and debated.

That theory however, could explain how the race has been able to show up simultaneously on four different colonies. At some point, they have been able to establish contact between them, allowing some people to move from colony to colony.

## Orders and Physical Attributes

The Miktam are animal-looking humans, but due to their diversity in subspecies, each one of them have a vastly different appearance. They categorised themselves into four groups of subspecies; the Borealis, the Animalia, Oceanid and Idyllia orders, and each come from a different homeworld of the Miktam Solar System.

### The Borealis Order

The Borealis order are native to the Teegarden-C colony. They are the class of subspecies that look the closest to humans than any other. They possess the most advanced technology out of all the others.

* **Harea :** this class are bunny-looking. They notably have bunny ears and tail, and rodent teeth.
* **Felia :** this class are cat-looking. They possess feline ears and tail.
* **Cania :** this class are dog-looking. They possess canine ears and tail.
* **Siren :** this class are mermaid-looking. They possess gills and a fish tail. They live near rivers, seas and aquatic biomes.
* **Urodel :** this class are salamander-looking. They possess thick scales and a tail. They live in ponds, marshes and shallow water biomes.

### The Animalia Order

The Animalia order are native to the Miktam-04B colony. They look like anthropomorphised animals of the mammal kind. Some are bipedal and some still walk on all fours. The Dinosaurio class was exterminated in the Miktam-Astoltia War, as they were the majority of soldiers defending the Miktam civilisation, alongside the Draconia class.

* **Caninu :** canine-looking Animalia class.
* **Felineko :** feline-looking Animalia class.
* **Laporida :** rodent-looking Animalia class.
* **Draconia :** dragon-looking Animalia class.
* **Serpentos :** snake-looking Animalia class.
* **†** **Dinosaurio :** dinosaur-looking Animalia class.

### The Oceanid Order

The Oceanid order are native to the destroyed colony of Astoltia. Some were able to migrate to Miktam-04B and the Ripple Star, prior to the catastrophe. They are aquatic lifeforms that mostly live on coasts and in the ocean. Compared to the Borealis and the Animalia, they look like a middle ground between their ancestry and humans in terms of looks.

* **Medusoe :** jellyfish-looking class.
* **Cephalia :** cephalopod-looking class.
* **Anemone :** anemone and corals-looking class.

### The Idyllia Order

The Idyllia order are native to the destroyed ESIRNUS colony. Most of them have migrated to the Teegarden-C colony. They are known to have a very powerful empire. The Miktam heavily rely on this empire to show their power in the galaxy.

* **Angelica :** angel-looking class.
* **Demonica :** demon-looking class. They look like the C-Type Ancient, the major difference with them is the lack of Ether light in their limbs.
* **Pixie :** faerie-looking class. They have pointy ears and insect wings.
* **Harpy :** bird-looking class. They have bird feet and wings.
* **Vampirea** : vampire-looking class. They have strong canine and can have wings, they are the only class to originate from somewhere else (TRAPPIST).

### Home Colonies

The Miktam are native to four different colonies.

Michtam-04β is recognised as Miktam's capital, because of having most of its population located on it. It is an Earth analogue about 1.3 times the size of Earth. It is the homeworld and birthplace of the Animalia Order.

Teegarden-C is an annex colony, despite being massive, it only is home to 1.9 billion individuals. It is about 3 times the size of Earth and is the birthplace of the Borealis. This colony is known for its very fertile soil and the great amount of biodiversity found there.

Astoltia used to be the Miktam's previous capital, because the bulk of its population being there. It was destroyed in the Miktam-Astoltia War, alongside its populace. Being half the size of Earth, it used to be the homeworld of the Oceanid Order, as the colony was an oceanic one.

ESIRNUS used to be an annex colony, destroyed in the Miktam-Astoltia War. Homeworld of the Idyllia Order, they successfully migrated most of their population towards Teegarden-C. ESIRNUS was renowned, as the Idyl Empire used to be located there.

### Civilisation Beginnings

The civilisation began roughly around the fourteenth century in the human A.D. calendar. The four Orders were initially living in their own side, until the Borealis Order established contact with the other three.

As they have established contact, the four Orders unified in order to share resources and technology, with Michtam and Esirnus as central hubs.

### Starflight Express System

The Miktam in the year A.D. 1922, decide to universalise the Starflight System, so the Matterkind and the Ancient could gain access to it. This meant that the three races have become able to contact each other instantaneously. This system relies on quantum mechanics and a space launcher terminal, which can be found on the Michtam Orbital Space Station. Each colony has a terminal to receive and send shuttles between each other, while the fastest ones are the shuttles that pass by the hub of the Michtam Space Station.

A trip between a colony and another takes about a dozen hours to a full day of travel time, depending on the distance. The farthest trip, Astoltia to Esirnus, takes 26 hours one-way, while the shortest, being Michtam to Teegarden, only take about 10 hours.

### ESIRNUS-TRAPPIST Conflict

In A.D. 2350, the Empire of Esirnus comes into contact with the Kingdom of Trappist, triggering a tug of war conflict between the two. The conflict was both directly and via soft-power and influence, as they were clearly trying to fell one another and claim the opponent's land. In this dual Cold-Hot War, families within the empires and kingdoms get into turmoil and internal conflicts arise, giving way to the ascension of the Thrones Royal family on Esirnus and the Booh Royal Family on Trappist. As the two famillies are intrinsically intertwined, they resented the conflict and put an end to it via a peace treaty, after the two families took the seats of power in their respective homeworlds.

### Miktam Astoltia War

In A.D. 2689, a war between the Miktam and humans of the Earth Federation breaks out. The Miktam received powerful Artifices from the Ancient in order to strengthen their army, notably Sirène, however humankind had better destructive technology than they did. During a fierce tug of war on Astoltia, humans decide to detonate their largest bomb so far, which was an antimatter bomb that destroyed the colony's surface altogether, and its population within it. That tremendous loss meant defeat for the Miktam, but they however managed to defend the Miktam-04β, Teegarden-C and Esirnus during that war.

### ESIRNUS War

A second round occured in A.D 2700, where the Michtam Orbital Station was under attack, but Sirène, a strong Artifice managed to push back humans and their attempt at taking over the space station. As it turns out, the invasion was merely a diversion. Humans simultaneously attacked Esirnus, where the Thrones Empire resided. Due to having most of Miktam's defence resources back on the orbital space station, they could not reach Esirnus in time. Thankfully, the Thrones Empire already had quick evacuation schemes and executed them as soon as they saw the Abbeh Fleet get close to Esirnus. The Idyllia Order migrated to Teegarden-C. The colony was rendered inhospitable by humans after sending several nukes in attempts to take down the Thrones Empire.

The war that waged between the Miktam and humans came to an end, as the Miktam saw its population halved, with two colonies lost but still managed to retain Miktam and Teegarden under control ans safety.

### Ripple Star

In A.D. 2735, the Miktam have entered in contact with the Matterkind, they decided to colonise the Ripple Star together. Some of the Oceanid Order decided to migrate there, due to losing their homeworld during the previous war. They also help the Matterkind colonise Shiver Star as well.

## Allencia Symbol

The Miktam, just like every other Authority have signed the Allencia Convention, which puts all newborns past the signature under the new system. The symbols are tied to racial origins, and the Miktam closely resembles humankinds', due to their potential same origins.
