Khuyn Khanate

The Khuyn Khanate is an intergalactic horde set roughly around 20° to 328° longitude in the Milky Way galaxy. Currently, the Khanate is organised into 5 warbands. One of which has been missing for 1,100 years after their fleet got too close to a wormhole. The principle species of the Khanate are the Haskh. An insectoid species.

Organisation
The Khanate is headed by the Msir (Great Khan) and is organised into several warbands depending on the size of the Khanate. Warbands are individual hordes which are led by a relative of the Msir, usually sons, brothers or cousins.

Like a feudal system, every Khulini (Khan) pledges allegiance to the Msir and Khanate in return for a percentage of soldiers, ships and planets.

As of 788 U.x (Post Union) there are the following Warbands:
 * Khunil Band
 * Ȟmil Band
 * Xhötah Band
 * Msrátl Band
 * Ynkhu Band - Missing
 * Yaxsi Band - Banished

Founding
In roughly 1232 A.D, a young muzhikh named Ynno-tal rose to prominence by slaughtering his Hunit's (Tribe) chieftain. Following a bloody succession war, Ynno-tal managed to take control of his tribe and set about securing more land. This started the era of conquests on the planet Khuyn. After endless slaughtering, Ynno-tal took eleven out of the thirty-two Hunits by force, three by submission and one by marriage. One by one, other tribes fell to his hand. Six years later, in 1238 he had conquered the entire planet and formed it under one banner.

Khanate
Under the newly created Khanate, the Haskh flourished. Within twenty years, the population had tripled, which caused a problem due to their diet of rocks and crystals. The planet was stripped almost barren when a star ship from a neighbouring star system flew past. The pilots, believing the planet to be uninhabited landed on it, only to be killed moments after. While the Haskh aren't technologically advanced, they're quick learners and learnt how to use the starship.

Ynno-tal's son, Khmuz was hailed as a Unot, an offspring of the deities and as such, was gifted with technological prowess. After careful study, Khmuz reverse engineered the starship and created six more before dying in a fire that ripped through the planet's core. With Khuyn dying and barren, the Khanate began evacuating to the near by moon of Laatili.

Laatili was already inhabited by a docile bovine based race which were quickly decimated by the swarms that landed. Laatili became preserved rather than before, acting as a hub for expansion. The khanate split into seven war bands, each taking their own ship and going out on a ravenous rampage across the galaxy. System after system fell.
