Description/History: The Ishakti are a hybrid of organic and synthetic parts, that which of is gruesome. A sister species by the name of Ivruti, which are now extinct, lived side by side with the Ishakti, developing technologies and sciences together. Unfortunately for the Ishakti at that time, relations would begin to boil, as the Ishakti first discovered ancient alien technology on their moon. The discovery which was kept hush by the Ishakti angered their sister species and they demanded to know what they had found, which they were not told. This sparked one of the first movements of the Ivruti against them, they moved into their territory, which the Ishakti were not expecting.

After that initial movement, the Ivruti declared war and attacked the Ishakti, knowing that what they had was important. They did this by draining supplies, and natural resources. That move initiated a skirmishing attack, a stealth team destroying an Ivruti outpost, this retaliation resulted in the war being called the "First In-House Ishakti/Ivruti War." One of the major first operations by the Ivruti was called "Project Lemon", the native language translation has more meaning than the English meaning. The Ivruti surrounded several science facilities, and invaded them, stealing all the lab research and materials. They then found the alien technology, one so advanced that the Ishakti had zero idea how to reverse engineer and use.

The Ishakti responded with "OP Fireweb", which was a release of large mechanical fire spiders into Ivruti territory, burning their buildings and bases, however the Ivruti had already escaped with the information and were beginning to decode it. After months of trading losses and wins, the Ivruti released a new threat, a group of large mechanical beings nicknamed "Photon DWMDs", despite them not using Photon-based weaponry. This threat was immense, and it took the entire might of an Ishakti battlecruiser fleet to take down ONE of these mechanical beings, a true testament to the power of this new [i]thing[/i]. They quickly reverse engineered the deceased Photon DWMD, and built better weapons and armor, however it was too late.

The Ivruti unleashed all of their forces, which completely overwhelmed the Ishakti, forcing them to surrender. The Ivruti made the Ishakti slaves, and used them for all sorts of gruesome, horrifying, and immoral experiments plus torture. Eventually they made the Ishakti into slave warriors, augmenting them with that technology, which involved replacing internal organs and pumping them full of nanites/nanobots. All Ishakti were augmented, and their DNA was altered in such a way that their children required augmenting immediately, or risk internal bleeding then death. Unbeknownst to the Ivruti, a group of their super soldier slaves had possessed the ability to use their augments to control their nanobots/nanites directly, allowing them to use surrounding materials to build what they want and alter their appearance. They used this tactic to strike back with force against the Ivruti, barely winning the battle for freedom.

Appearance: Augmented Ishakti can look like a variety of creatures, due to their nanites. Most choose human-like, however others prefer being armored husks, though notably all Ishaktians are stuck with having glowing yellow eyes.

Type of Society: In the past, before the First In-House Ishakti/Ivruti War, the Ishakti were a close knit Monarchy-style civilization, during the war they became True Democratic, and after it they lost all structure, fleeing to space. Ishaktians are now mainly freelancers or just trying to make by, as their home was deemed insufficient to them. Most Ishaktians are up for hire to do almost anything, however ones like Maldrukiz own their own scrapyard.
