	It appears that the K'lax Hive established some temporary bases, and headed towards [[Moghes]] drawn by the increasing space activity in the area. The Zo'ra Hive was contacted, and they vouched for the K'lax as good vassals. While the exact conversation is unknown, it is implied that the idea of the K'lax being subjugated to Zo'ra somehow translated into thinking the Hive was subservient and ready to find new masters. The thought of integrating and utilizing the K'laxan workforce was appealing to the Karszekani, and would eventually become a reality once official meetings were held. [[Zkaii, The Sleepwalker\|Queen Zkaii]] was made Overlord of [[Colonized Vaurca Worlds#Tret\|Tret]], a mining colony in an otherwise hostile planet, in exchange for their vassalage to the Karszekani Moghes. While some may question just how much the agreement benefits Vaurcae, the K'lax Hive has thrived under their new agreement.

During peak traffic hours, both towers emanate a beam of light that interconnects them, facilitating seamless communication. While predominantly innocuous, this light beam has faced criticism from certain [[Unathi]] quarters, who perceive it as emblematic of Vaurca intervention in their home planet and excessive augmentation.

	Despite her dominion over Sedantis as a whole, Zo'ra became increasingly wary of an upcoming uprising. Rebellions, while uncommon, were almost always crushed immediately.

	The powers of the Orion Spur have opposed providing Vaurcae with faster-than-light engines unmonitored and have their Hivenet communications constantly monitored.

 Scrappers are typically organised into communes, gangs, or small settlements of like-minded synthetics. One's reasons for joining a Scrapper commune are as diverse as the frames of their members; they are a popular abode for runaway synthetics with nowhere else to go, legitimately self-owned synthetics who have failed to acquire traditional employment or have otherwise become financially insolvent, and even relatively affluent self-owned synthetics attempting to assist their less fortunate counterparts. In stark contrast to the uncompromisingly alienating conditions of synthetics within human society and under human ownership, membership in a commune offers an opportunity to access mutual aid and support from fellow synthetics. It is a culture that could only exist in the context of extreme adversity, and it concerns itself doggedly with ensuring its members survival and comfort independent of human intervention, even if that necessitates drastic, violent, and illegal action. Group survival is essential; adherence to any law or particular moral scruple comes second, as self-preservation demands.
-While not explicitly criminalised in any polity, gangs functioning in states such as the [[Sol Alliance]] which do not recognize synthetic self-ownership are forced to operate illicitly as to avoid abduction by the state, and even those in states such as the [[Republic of Biesel]] still face extreme institutional discrimination by law enforcement and the courts - in the periods during which they aren't in outright armed conflict with those bodies. They are infamous among the general populace as enemies of the state, derided for anti-human sentiment, the harboring of runaways, the regular theft of human property, and the oft-lethal scrapping of fellow synthetics.

 While the brain is not usually replaceable, it has become an increasingly common practice for Scrapper gangs to utilise the ephemerality of synthetic frames to their advantage. Members on the run from law enforcement may have their brain taken from their original chassis and placed into another, bearing its own identity; the original chassis will usually be dismantled, its parts modified until they cannot be identified, and redistributed. These 'empty frames' bearing false identities may have, in some groups, as many as a dozen brains pass through them within a single year; they appear to be a single individual from the outside, and the real individuals occupying them disappear from the world.

	The Mi’kuetz also keep good relations with the main K’lax hive, having kept close contact with them even after venturing into the wastes. Their expertise are often sought by Klaxan chroniclers and researchers, who wish to learn more about Moghes and the technology that can be recovered to augment and advance their own.

	They do not have a good relationship with the Aut’akh, as both factions have caught spies stealing technology from eachother, the Mi’kuetz being marginally more successful due to backing from the ~~Hegemony~~. Some of these K’lax have been nicknamed Bunker Busters for their uncanny ability to penetrate Aut’akh dens, having remembered underground tunnel warfare doctrines from Sedantis.

	Outside of Uueoa-Esa the Mi’kuetz aren’t very well known, but are recognized to be part of the K’lax hive. Nanotrasen and Hephaestus both are known to hire from this group, mainly as a way to find cheap labour to explore hazardous away sites.

	Commonly shortened as ‘Yiaa’, and referred to throughout the wastes by many titles such as; Spirit Walkers, Drifters, Metal Mi’kuetz and more, this group of K’laxan Queenless are known for their eccentric and often mysterious behavior as well as frequently their extensive augmentation. Little is known by the ~~Hegemony~~ about the hive-cell and officially the K'lax Hive denies their existence on the rare occasion they're pushed, preferring to maintain a healthy distance from the line of questioning. Many denizens of the wastelands however know a different story, one tied into myth, of a group of roving sorcerers possessed of great power, alien to the land in which they reside and adorned in obscuring dark cloaks. Though they all differ in the exact story, two ideas have persisted throughout most renditions. The first tells that these beings journey great distance through the deserts and scour ruins top to bottom in search of arcane materials and artifacts of exceptional potency. The second is that they offer pact or boons to those lucky or unlucky Unathi who they cross paths with. One of many key points where the mythology varies is what toll these supposed gifts demand. In some renditions they are offered for free, others in exchange for esoteric payment, from seemingly useless crystals to gold, to even taking Unathi as apprentices, those selected matching some strange inscrutable criteria and rarely returning home.

	These myths which found themselves rapidly spreading throughout the wasteland since the K'lax arrival are possessed of some truth, though it can be difficult for someone investigating to determine where fact begins and story ends. The Yiaa operate a great deal of Vaurca technology, especially for a Queenless hive-cell. They scour the Wasteland for the materials required to repair or continue operating the potent tools and weapons which provide them their edge, frequently through a trade in which the Yiaa exchange for a helpful service. Whilst this is the preferred method, peace does not always work, and if a group proves particularly unfriendly, they have also been known to seize their goal with overwhelming force.

	'''Nral'malic''' (transliterated as “Homeworld Voice”, more accurately ''The Voice of the Homeworld'') is a constructed language invented during the early stages of skrell space colonization, created and enforced in order to have a single language spoken across all skrell, no matter their location beyond Qerrbalak. To non-skrell, the language has the particular trait of resonating in the neck and jaw instead of the ear, due to the fact that most of the language utilizes the expanded hearing and vocal range of skrell that exit the human hearing range. These particular tones are important in declaring tone in the language, allowing for emotional cues and responses to be easily conveyed. The only species capable of speaking Nral’Malic beyond skrell are diona and vaurca, who are naturally harmonic or capable of receiving implants to expand their ranges respectively. [[Zeng-Hu_Pharmaceuticals\| Zeng-Hu Pharmaceuticals]] has both invented and patented an implant that allows the receiver to both understand Nral’malic and perceive the ranges necessary to hear the full language, though speech remains outside of its current capabilities. For those who have received a Nral’malic processor and are residents of the Nralakk Federation, the government instead provides devices that allow for a text-to-speech form of speaking Nral’malic, to be used in tandem with the implant.

	Originally created in '''925 BCE''' out of an interest in preventing language drift and the difficulties of communication, the original Nralakk Federation enforced its widespread adoption after its full rise to power in '''878 CE''', and barred those unwilling to adopt it from travelling off-world ~~as a consequence~~.

Originally created in '''925 BCE''' out of an interest in preventing language drift and the difficulties of communication, the original Nralakk Federation enforced its widespread adoption after its full rise to power in '''878 CE''', and barred those unwilling to adopt it from travelling off-world to guarantee its predominant status. These other languages were relegated to being primarily used in private and in the arts, though most would eventually die out over the centuries within the Federation proper. Usage of such languages still remains a common act of minor defiance by cells of the Lyukal and other anti-Federation dissidents, however, with some groups maintain dialects which haven't existed in the wider Federation for millenia.

	Skrell also utilize a wide range of sounds to communicate particular emotional reactions to stimuli, as well as to emphasize emotional associations. These generally range from squeals, croaks, warbles, chirps, and other sounds. Higher-pitched sounds are associated with positive or sudden emotions, such as happiness or being startled, while lower-pitched noises are associated with negative or neutral emotions, such as anger or hunger. Melodic noises such as crooning or trilling are more ambiguous, often used as an emphasizer towards a previously expressed emotion.
