Description

Due to its seclusion and its indigenous population of Dhilani showing open hostility towards any outsiders, there is only little information available about it. The planet is hot and desolated, mostly covered by naked rock landscapes scarred with deep canyons and chasms. Given its hot and dry climate, it is assumed that its fauna consists mainly of reptilian and insectoids.

Population

Through millions of years of evolution, one of these reptile species has evolved into the dominant race of the planet. – the Dhilani. Organized as nomadic clans they were at war with each other for long time. Within hundreds of years these clans allied with each other until there were two fronts, who fought each other for more than three centuries, finally meeting in a final battle. Although there were devastating losses on both sides, the battle ended as a draw with only a few hundred thousand Dhilani left. Realising this the leaders of both sides met and signed a peace treaty that would declare the entire Dhilani race as one people.

During the next nine hundred years the Dhilani developed a culture and a political system that was strictly organised and dictated. Developing modern technologies and exploiting space travel The Dhilani started to spread. At the beginning they settled on uninhabited worlds or dealed out treaties for peaceful coexistence with other species. But slowly the system grew more aggressive. Settlement turned into colonisation, colonisation turned into conquering. After hundred years the Dhilani had built up a mighty empire of conquered worlds.

Near-extinction: The Hibrana Massacre

The Dhilani's glorious development found a sudden end, when they invaded the territory of the United Planets. For the first time they faced an opponent that was organised and well prepared for any acts of hostility. Their fall began with the devastating defeat in the Battle for Bricera and found its climax with the elimination of the Dhilani capitol, Dhalarona Prime.

 The devastating strike with the SBCr Warrior's fusion cannon blasted a huge crater into the Hibrana Highland and turned Dhalarona Prime into graveyard for millions of Dhilani.
