	Shortly after ~~first contact~~ in 2403, a ~~small number of [[Skrell]] moved to~~ Ouerea. ~~These [[Skrell]] were only [[Nralakk~~ Federation~~\|Federation]] Representatives and their associates at first~~, ~~their purpose being two-fold: develop relations with~~ the ~~Unathi and learn more about their culture and people~~, and ~~assist their struggling first colony by turning it into~~ a ~~burgeoning, self-sufficient one. These first [[Skrell]] joining the colony would not go on~~ to ~~form~~ the ~~contemporary [[Skrell]] on~~ Ouerea~~, but laid the foundations for what was~~ to ~~come for the species~~.		Shortly after the Nralakk Federation’s First Contact with the Izweski Hegemony in 2403, the two nations would create a unilateral colonial assistance agreement revolving around the Unathi colony Ouerea. The agreement resulted in the creation of a Federation agency called the Ouerea Colonial Mission (OCM), issued a mandate by the Grand Council to provide guidance to the nascent Hegemony in the construction of planetary colonies by providing resources, experienced colonists, and a wealth of technical knowledge to apply in the development of Ouerea to a point of self-sufficiency from their Skrell benefactors.

	~~During~~ the ~~first month of diplomatic and cultural exchanges,~~ the ~~[[Skrell]] were also beginning~~ to ~~look at what~~ the ~~colony~~ would ~~need to truly be self-sufficient~~. It was ~~obvious that educated workers and those who had experience in colony development were needed~~, ~~so the Representatives made a request~~ to the Grand Council. ~~The call was barely received back~~ in ~~the [[Nralakk Federation\|Federation]] as many [[~~Skrell~~]] felt unease at~~ the ~~thought of leaving their homes for a pre-existing fledgling colony of a nation less advanced than Humanity~~. ~~While~~ a small ~~number~~ of ~~Secondary and Primary Numericals accepted the call, it was mostly Tertiaries and other oppressed groups within [[Nralakk Federation\|Federation]] society~~ who ~~were willing to leave~~ their ~~home for a planet still struggling~~ to ~~survive~~. ~~The influx~~ of ~~oppressed groups joining Ouerea influenced its already existing anti-Feudalistic movements~~, ~~introducing foreign concepts that matched~~ the ~~Unathi colonist's goals for egalitarianism and democracy. These ideas were unimpaired by~~ the ~~politics~~ of ~~those who worked for the [[Nralakk Federation\|Federation]]~~, ~~who had to keep~~ the ~~[[Izweski Nation\|Hegemony]] in mind while on~~ Ouerea, and ~~these oppressed [[Skrell]] were more than happy to teach the~~ colonists ~~that there was a way of living that did not involve serving under~~ the ~~Izweski's or any lord's rule~~.		The Federation’s enthusiasm to assume a guiding role for their fellow sophonts in the Spur encouraged the Grand Council to ensure the success of the OCM, which would serve as a blueprint for further cooperative agreements with other interstellar nations. The OCM was the responsibility of the Ouerean Colonial Oversight Board (OOCB), an extraordinary body directly subservient to the Grand Council, and led by Quvs. skrzridsipo, a renowned logistical and agricultural academic with a long career in leading Skrell colonial efforts in the Traverse region. Initially, Skrzridsipo was issued a small Kala detachment for security purposes, alongside various teams of Skrell academics who would teach their expert knowledge to the Unathi colonists. This small group of Skrell colonists, often called the First Wave in reference to the Federation’s own stages of stellar expansion, remained insulated from the general populace of Ouerea, living in their own compounds and only interacting with select Unathi colonists selected by the Hegemony.

	The move to Ouerea was slow, but over time [[Skrell]] moved to the planet on a larger scale than in Human space as the colony's needs outpaced any xenophobia held by the Unathi living there. Ouerea would soon become a well-known destination for those who needed to flee [[Nralakk Federation\|Federation]] space, either as a stop along the way to the [[Coalition of ~~Colonies]], or as a final destination for those looking to make a new life for themselves. It wouldn't be until~~ the Contact War ~~began~~ and the [[Nralakk Federation\|Federation]] took over administration of the planet that their numbers would increase dramatically. A planet which the [[Nralakk Federation\|Federation]] administered appealed to many across all of [[Nralakk Federation\|Federation]] society; the average citizen saw it as an opportunity to safely explore the Spur, knowing they would not be at the whim of a xenophobic or unenlightened government, while Tertiaries and criminals saw it as an opportunity to leave the [[Nralakk Federation\|Federation]] and live where its laws are not heavily enforced without arousing too much suspicion. While still having to live secretly at this point~~, not openly practising their subversive beliefs, the comparatively lax monitoring of citizens on Ouerea gave the [[Skrell]]'s unprecedented freedom compared to [[Nralakk Federation\|Federation]] space~~.		The outbreak of the Contact War rapidly altered this dynamic, and is considered a turning point in Ouerea’s history. The Federation responded by offering wholehearted vocal support for the Hegemony, and pledged to use the OCM to assume temporary custodianship of Ouerea, alongside the Sol Alliance, until the situation on Moghes had stabilised. Allowing the humans and megacorporate assets on Ouerea to be governed by Sol, the OCM received Kala reinforcements to ensure order was maintained on the colony, including the formation of a Qukala task force to combat potential piracy in orbit. The Ouerean Unathi were uniquely welcoming of Federal administration due to their dislike of the feudal system, which was further confirmed by the OOCB’s decision to create a democratic government system on Ouerea, which they deemed as necessary for the colony to sustain itself. This period in Ouerean history is characterised by the increasing interactions between the once divided Skrell and Unathi, which once free of the feudal system, began to form a unified Ouerean culture. The arrival of the Second Wave of colonists, mostly consisting of labourers from the Traverse region, caused further syncretism on the colony, with several Skrell-majority settlements having been formed during the War.

	The ~~[[Nralakk~~ Federation~~\|Federation's]] administration of the planet would see democratic elections begin, as now freed from the feudal obligations of the Izweski the population took to implanting its long-hoped-~~for ~~government. The administration created by~~ the ~~[[Nralakk Federation\|Federation]] was not a true government in any sense~~, ~~instead acting more as an oversight committee, allowing the planet to form its own government~~ and ~~the policies that come with it as the people saw fit, rather than imposing their own. This is attributed~~ to the ~~lack of true support the [[Nralakk Federation\|Federation's]] Administration received, as the population of the [[Nralakk Federation\|Nralakk Core Systems]] saw no reason for their government~~ to begin establishing colonies so far from home, especially in the de-facto territory of another species with whom they cooperated. The [[Nralakk Federation\|Federation's]] Administration would instead work with the locally elected government of the Synod of Scales, who it recognized as the legitimate government of Ouerea, ~~assisting them in~~ the ~~growth and stability of the colony~~, ~~essentially acting as a liaison group between~~ the Synod and the larger [[Nralakk Federation\|Federation]]. To the surprise of many, while a majority of elected positions were still in the hands of Unathi, a large proportion of positions across all levels of Ouerean society would be held by [[Skrell]] when considering their minority presence on ~~the planet, as they were some of the only colonists with experience or the slightest education in civil administration~~. ~~At this point,~~ the ~~life for Skrell~~ on Ouerea ~~was compared~~ to ~~the early days of the [[Skrell History\| Skrell Space Age]]. Advanced technology was not imported over in large numbers~~, ~~and was only used by Federation officials to facilitate communication back home and to~~ the ~~[[Izweski Nation\|Hegemony]] when possible. The [[Skrell]]'s quality of life suffered, obviously, as they would be too used~~ to ~~what the Federation had, but many enjoyed the subsistence lifestyle Ouerea offered. The [[Skrell]] settling~~ on ~~Ouerea began to see~~ the colony ~~as an example of what cross-species cooperation could achieve if given the opportunity.~~

	~~At the end of the Contact War~~, the ~~[[Izweski Nation\|Hegemony]] slowly began to stabilise and take notice~~ of ~~its holdings once again, and saw what became of its colony. The [[Izweski Nation\|Hegemony]] took disproportionate action, taking~~ a ~~number of [[Skrell]] Kala officers captive and making a grand display of its fleet~~ in orbit ~~of Ouerea as a message to the Federation and Alliance: the [[Izweski Nation\|Hegemony]] would not bow down to aliens, and Ouerea belongs to the [[Izweski Nation\|Hegemony]]~~. The ~~[[Nralakk Federation]] and Solarian Alliance would then "cede" their claims to the colony, not wanting~~ to fight over a planet that didn't belong to them to start with and was too far away from their territory anyway, and took their citizens with them. Those who worked with the [[Nralakk Federation\|Federation]] directly, along with the Primary Numericals and many Secondaries, would leave the planet with their ~~job~~ of ~~making Ouerea self-sufficient and considered complete. Those who fled~~ the ~~[[Nralakk Federation\|Federation]] and those who established roots and relationships in their local communities~~, ~~however, were not interested in leaving their new home and had no intention of leaving. Those that stayed on Ouerea were forced to passively observe as~~ the ~~new Overlord began~~ to ~~tear down the equal society that they had helped~~ create ~~for the Unathi~~, ~~unable to defend it in fear of xenophobic reprisal as discrimination against the [[Skrell]] almost immediately became common once the old Feudal system was put in place; as the [[Skrell]] were seen~~ as ~~a direct cause~~ for the ~~introduction of democracy and other "alien ideals"~~ to ~~the Unathi population, the new Unathi colonists and rulers were quick to view them with contempt~~. This said the [[Skrell]] were spared during the Months of Blood, serving prison sentences or simply being brought back down to the rank of peasant rather than the normal punishment of execution, as the Hegemon feared the response by the Spur's superpowers if he were to kill his alien subjects. After two years of uncertain fear of their status in ~~the [[Izweski Nation\|Hegemony]] and internal debate about what to do with these new alien subjects, the~~ Ouerean ~~rebellion began.~~

	~~The [[Skrell]]'s role in~~ the ~~rebellion was not insignificant, but~~ the ~~species was~~ divided on where they stood. One side saw it as their fight just as much as it was the Unathi's now that they were considered Hegemonic subjects, while the other viewed their participation in the rebellion as a death sentence; so far away from home and no hope of escaping what punishment they may face by a Feudal ruler, many [[Skrell~~]] wished to stay on the sidelines~~ and hope that they would be left alone. Some even believed that they may be granted special privileges as a species, and didn't want to spoil their chances of negotiating these rights with the Izweski or Yiz’tek Lords if they openly rebelled against [[Izweski Nation\|Hegemony]] rule. Participation in the rebellion itself by [[Skrell]] was not significant due to their minority presence on the planet, but while the number of [[Skrell]] fighting on the streets in solidarity with the Unathi ~~peasants was small~~, ~~the number~~ of ~~sympathetic [[Skrell]] who offered their services to those impacted by~~ the ~~rebellion was much higher. Those with medical backgrounds would help the wounded after a riot~~, ~~engineers would repair the damages done by the lord's levies after a crackdown, and religious leaders would help organise communities~~ to ~~help those most impacted by Overlord Yitzek's heavy-handed rule. [[Skrell]] who took part in the actual fighting notably helped train those peasants who had not defected in fighting as~~ a ~~unit and advised them on how to best engage with the better-equipped Yiz’tek forces on the planet.~~

	~~After Not'zar Izweski's negotiations with the rebels, and the arrest of Overlord Hutay’zai, the [[Skrell]]'s place in~~ Ouerean ~~society was secured~~. The ~~[[Skrell]] were given a permanent observer within~~ the ~~re-established Synod~~ of ~~Scales~~, ~~whose role is to speak and bring forward issues related to~~ the ~~[[Skrell]] without requiring prior approval by the Overlord~~, ~~a privilege not given to Humanity, as little to none of them are~~ on the ~~planet for any reason besides work~~, ~~but otherwise has no other powers within the Synod. This special privilege has made the [[Skrell]] of Ouerea more content~~ with ~~the situation, knowing that they still have representation within the government. The reasoning behind Not'zar's decision of giving the [[~~Skrell~~]] this privilege isn't specifically known, but it can be assumed that Not'zar sees~~ the [[Skrell]] on Ouerea as a key to greater technological advancement for the [[Izweski Nation\|Hegemony]], as most [[Skrell]] have had decades of intense higher education and a more advanced skillset than your average Unathi.

	Independent of the Nralakk Federation’s security community, the '''Wuqrnjeqkala''', shortened to '''Wukala''' (and translating to Council Enforcers), are planetary council-appointed Kala who enforce disciplinary action at the discretion of the councillors they are assigned to. While being a Wukala member is a prestigious position which grants Index rating bonuses, Idol status is never awarded out of an interest in keeping the operatives relatively anonymous. Wukala operatives focus on domestic crime and suppression of anti-Federation actions, and are granted access to the Federation's internal surveillance systems to oversee their assigned region. The Qekala work closely with Wukala intelligence to enforce the law, with direct responses from the Wukala only appearing in the event that immediate detainment or capture is necessary, particularly when their persons-of-interest attempt to flee the planet, or evade sentencing and/or reeducation. Unlike those of the inner systems, the Wukala of the Traverse’s planetary councils are appointed by the Qu’Wukala instead of their respective planetary councillor, and are given a wider licence than their inner system counterparts to ensure the loyalty of their ward. This allows the Traverser Wukala full control of the security apparatus in their planetary council, which is most often exercised in the form of combatting infiltration by anti-Federation elements, and ensuring corruption is kept to a minimum. Due to their important role, and the danger a subversive Wukala could possess, Traverser Wukala are always loyalty implanted.

	The prestigious Intelligence and Covert Actions Sections serve as the Federation’s first line of defence against foreign threats, maintaining offices for every nation in the Spur. These two Sections conduct their activities under the umbrella category of Foreign Operations, and work in tandem to perform the widest berth of duties of any security organisation. These duties include intelligence gathering, counter-intelligence, monitoring skrell outside of the Federation (both citizen and not), maintaining networks of undercover operatives in foreign national organisations, and assassinations—though no assassination attempt has ever been confirmed to have been approved by the Nralakk Federation. This position at the forefront of skrell security has made the Foreign Operations component of the NFDES a highly desirable position for well-performing citizens, and is a valuable pathway towards a successful political career. The Ruupkala are rumored to monitor the fabled “Drylist,” which supposedly holds the names of all skrell living abroad who have performed deductive behaviors against the Nralakk Federation, displayed worrying ideals, joined an opposing faction, or renounced their citizenship. Some theorize that this list even covers non-skrell who may pose a threat to the Federation.

	The Nralakk Federation’s Defence Section has kept a unique structure in light of the lack of all-out war or broad conflict in its borders. The Defence Section is regarded by most within the skrell security community as an unfortunate necessity to combat piracy in the less civilised Traverse, other border regions, and frontiers. The Qukala that make up the Defence Section have a very poor standing in the Traverse, where they are most widespread and responsible for enforcing an extensive anti-piracy mandate—being viewed by many Traversers as unnecessary military policing. This reputation has not left the Defence Section unscathed, and is reflected in its relatively small size, equipment, and funding compared to other branches of Federal security, and a miniscule force when compared to their Solarian neighbours. The lack of interest in the Defence Section has since been capitalised on by the C’thur Hive, particularly Queen Vytel, as vaurca warriors are perfectly suited to EVA operations, as well as acting as an intimidating force against pirates. These C’thuric Warriors have a Federation-designed loyalty implant much like their Qekala siblings.

	The Nralakk Federation’s vast networks of surveillance networks and enforcers are controlled by the '''Directory of Internal Security (NFDIS)''', which is one of the largest organs of the government. Due to the substantial size of the Federation’s domestic security operations, the NFDIS is divided into planetary administrative divisions called Districts, which have a vast amount of autonomy from the NFDIS itself, instead receiving their directives from their respective planetary council. Below that, the number of divisions and their sizes is dependent on the given planet’s proximity to the Nralakk system, but the universal base unit is a Station, which contains the necessary facilities to oversee the entire security of a rural region or city.

	The Qekala are the fist of the Federation’s security apparatus in skrell space. Only a fourth of the NFDIS is made up of Qekala operatives, who are responsible for general policework. The Qekala’s regular operations include regular patroles, providing security presence, warrant execution, emergency response, and have a significant portion of its staff dedicated towards intelligence and surveillance. Aspiring Qekala members are placed under rigorous scrutiny, testing athletic ability, legal knowledge, and general capability to respond with correct force and procedure.

Non-skrell members, like the C’thur warriors of Vytel’s Brood, are employed in limited numbers for vaurca-majority regions.

	In the Traverse region, Qekala are exclusively recruited from the planets they are stationed on, creating concerns of conflicts of interest between the Federation and their homes. Consequently, the Traverser Qekala receive much lower funding and equipment than their inner system counterparts, alongside higher scrutiny in their operations, with the NFDIS requiring intense loyalty and background checks on potential recruits. Alongside this, the day-to-day operations of the Qekala are not controlled by their planetary council, but rather the Wukala of said council, in order to ensure loyalty to the Federation is prioritised above all else.

	The Nralakk Federation’s ~~defence structure~~ has kept a unique structure in light of the lack of all-out war or broad conflict in its borders~~. Rather than having a military structure as the pride and first line of defense for the country, these honours are held by the intelligence operatives of the nation~~. The Defence Section is regarded by most within the skrell security community as an unfortunate necessity to combat piracy in the less civilised Traverse, other border regions, and frontiers. The ~~Qekala~~ that make up the Defence Section have a very poor standing in the Traverse, where they are most widespread and responsible for enforcing an extensive anti-piracy mandate—being viewed by many Traversers as unnecessary military policing. This reputation has not left the Defence Section unscathed, and is reflected in its relatively ~~low quality,~~ size~~, staffing~~, equipment, and funding compared to other branches of Federal security, and a miniscule force when compared to their Solarian neighbours. The lack of interest in the Defence Section has since been capitalised on by the C’thur Hive, particularly Queen Vytel, as vaurca warriors are perfectly suited to EVA operations, as well as acting as an intimidating force against pirates. These C’thuric Warriors have a Federation-designed loyalty implant much like their Qekala siblings. Although the injection of C’thur warriors has been an undeniable success, the effort was not enough to prevent the Federation’s [[The_Phoron_Scarcity:_Skrell_Arc\|recent]] [[Change_on_the_Horizon_Arc\|embarrassments]] in the Traverse region. Aside from their regular duties, the ~~Qekala~~ are responsible for providing the security for Federation embassies, consulates, and diplomats serving abroad.

			Following the reforms agreed upon by the now-defunct Independent Traverser Movement and the Federation, the NFSC was tasked with training a local defence force comprised of loyal volunteers in the Traverse with the aim of providing some relief to overextended Qukala forces in anti-piracy operations. To accomplish the creation of this auxiliary force, Qukala stationed in the Traverse began recruiting, organising, and training forces of loyal Traversers which would be called the Qehalak, or Homeguard. An individual Qehalak is typically a part-time reservist for the Federation’s frontier, who is expected to pick up arms and assist any Kala when called upon, however in Traverse Councils with a small Kala presence, Qehalak can be organised into full-time border security, under the guidance of a senior Qukala attaché.

While this lens is unflattering for the Federation’s perception of military strength, the sheer size of the nation’s claims still necessitates a sizable fleet to secure them, which remains no small feat when contending with domestic and foreign piracy.

			The Traverse’s Qehalak fleets, in comparison to the Qukala’s own, are considerably smaller. Consisting of retrofitted Qukala naval vessels and militarized civilian craft, the Qehalak’s fleet strength is more consistently tested by the more organized Marauder vessels that plague the skrell frontier. This independence from the Inner Systems’ more organized security structure has bred new tactics out of sheer necessity, with more eccentric and underhanded tactics being adopted to compensate.

	The Qekala are the fist of the Federation’s security apparatus in skrell space. Only a fourth of the NFDIS is made up of Qekala operatives, who are responsible for general policework. The Qekala’s regular operations include regular patroles, providing security presence, warrant execution, emergency response, and have a significant portion of its staff dedicated towards intelligence and surveillance. Aspiring Qekala members are placed under rigorous scrutiny, testing athletic ability, legal knowledge, and general capability to respond with correct force and procedure. Qekala members are expected to operate amphibiously across multiple environments across the myriad environments in the Nralakk Federation. Non-skrell members, like the C’thur warriors of Vytel’s Brood, are employed in limited numbers for vaurca-majority regions. These Warriors are implanted with a loyalty implant, which equalises the Federation's orders to the same priority as a Queen's, with conflict of interests forcing a warrior to hibernate until resolved.

	In the Traverse region, Qekala are exclusively recruited from the planets they are stationed on, creating concerns of conflicts of interest between the Federation and their homes. Consequently, the Traverser Qekala receive much lower funding and equipment than their inner system counterparts, alongside higher scrutiny in their operations, with the NFDIS requiring ~~harsh~~ loyalty and background checks on potential recruits. Alongside this, the day-to-day operations of the Qekala are not controlled by their planetary council, but rather the Wukala of said council, to ~~further~~ ensure loyalty to the Federation is prioritised above all else.		In the Traverse region, Qekala are exclusively recruited from the planets they are stationed on, creating concerns of conflicts of interest between the Federation and their homes. Consequently, the Traverser Qekala receive much lower funding and equipment than their inner system counterparts, alongside higher scrutiny in their operations, with the NFDIS requiring intense loyalty and background checks on potential recruits. Alongside this, the day-to-day operations of the Qekala are not controlled by their planetary council, but rather the Wukala of said council, in order to ensure loyalty to the Federation is prioritised above all else.

	While the Federation ~~spares no expense in ensuring~~ internal ~~harmony is protected from~~ domestic agitators, they recognise that ~~the most pressing~~ threat ~~to their continued security~~ in the ~~present~~ day ~~are the actions of~~ foreign ~~actors that seek to destabilise~~ the ~~Federation, even including~~ Traverser rebels during the ~~period of instability in the~~ Q’elpi Systems. ~~The solution to this issue is~~ the Directory of External Security (NFDES), whose diverse range of operations have led to ~~it following a different~~ structure to its domestic counterpart~~; it~~ is divided into three Sections, which are the Intelligence, Covert Actions, and Defence ~~Sections~~. An agent of the Intelligence Section is called a Ruupkala, or Intelligence Enforcer; an agent of the Covert Actions Section is called a Tupkala, or Covert Enforcer; and an agent of the Defence Section is called a Qukala, or Star Enforcer. The ~~DES~~ is currently led by Executive Director Ripalji Guyuo, a former operative of the Covert Actions Section and a close associate of ~~Grand Councillor~~ Jrugl, ascending to replace their predecessor immediately after Jrugl’s appointment.		While the Nralakk Federation maintains ample protection of internal security against domestic agitators, they recognise that foreign actors are now a much greater threat in the modern day, with foreign influence even affecting the Traverser rebels during the [[The_Phoron_Scarcity:_Skrell_Arc\|Q’elpi]] [[Change_on_the_Horizon_Arc\|Systems]] crisis. As a response, the '''Directory of External Security (NFDES)''', whose diverse range of operations have led to its unique structure compared to its domestic counterpart, was formed.The NFDES is divided into three Sections, which are the Intelligence Section, Covert Actions Section, and Defence Section. These sections are defined as their own Kala: an agent of the Intelligence Section is called a '''Ruupkala''', or Intelligence Enforcer; an agent of the Covert Actions Section is called a '''Tupkala''', or Covert Enforcer; and an agent of the Defence Section is called a '''Qukala''', or Star Enforcer. The NFDES is currently led by Executive Director '''Ripalji Guyuo''', a former operative of the Covert Actions Section, and close associate of Weashbi Jrugl, ascending to replace their predecessor immediately after Jrugl’s appointment.

	The prestigious Intelligence and Covert Actions Sections serve as the Federation’s first line of defence against foreign threats, maintaining offices for every nation in the Spur. ~~The~~ two Sections conduct their activities under the umbrella category of Foreign Operations, and work ~~very close together~~ to perform the widest berth of duties of any security organisation; intelligence gathering, counter-intelligence, monitoring skrell outside of the Federation (both citizen and not), maintaining networks of undercover operatives in foreign ~~nations~~ organisations, and ~~even performing assassinations, though this last speciality~~ has ~~never~~ been confirmed ~~or acknowledged~~ by the Federation. This position at the forefront of skrell security has made the Foreign Operations component of the NFDES a highly desirable position for well performing citizens, and is a valuable pathway towards ~~an undoubtedly~~ successful political career. The Ruupkala are rumored to monitor the fabled “Drylist,” which supposedly holds the names of all skrell living abroad who have performed deductive behaviors against the Nralakk Federation, displayed worrying ideals, joined an opposing faction, or renounced their citizenship. Some theorize that this list even covers non-skrell who may pose a threat to the Federation.

These duties include intelligence gathering, counter-intelligence, monitoring skrell outside of the Federation (both citizen and not), maintaining networks of undercover operatives in foreign national organisations, and assassinations—though no assassination attempt has ever been confirmed to have been approved by the Nralakk Federation.

Some theorize that this list even covers non-skrell who may pose a threat to the Federation. The Drylist, however, remains an openly debunked conspiracy theory by the Nralakk Federation, and no official list has ever been discovered or produced.

	The ~~relative security of skrell space~~ has ~~left their military forces quite unlike any other nation~~ in the ~~Spur; rather~~ than ~~existing~~ as the pride of the country ~~and a bulwark in the defence of its people~~, these honours are held by the ~~pervasive~~ intelligence operatives of the ~~Nralakk Federation~~. The Defence Section is regarded by most within the skrell security community as an unfortunate necessity to combat piracy in the less civilised Traverse, ~~and~~ other border regions and frontiers. ~~Additionally, the~~ Qekala that make up the Defence Section have a very poor standing in the Traverse, where they are most widespread and responsible for enforcing an extensive anti-piracy ~~mandate—viewed~~ by many Traversers as unnecessary military policing. This reputation has not left the Defence Section unscathed and is reflected in its relatively low quality size, staffing, equipment, and funding compared to other branches of Federal security, and a miniscule force when compared to their Solarian neighbours. The lack of interest in the Defence Section ~~was~~ capitalised on by the C’thur Hive, particularly Queen Vytel, as ~~Vaurca~~ warriors are perfectly suited to EVA operations ~~and to act~~ as an intimidating force against pirates. These C’thuric Warriors have a Federation-designed ~~Loyalty Implant~~ much like their Qekala siblings. Although the injection of C’thur warriors has been an undeniable success, the effort was not enough to prevent the Federation’s recent embarrassments in the Traverse region. Aside from their regular duties, the Qekala are responsible for providing the security for Federation embassies, consulates, and diplomats serving abroad.		The Nralakk Federation’s defence structure has kept a unique structure in light of the lack of all-out war or broad conflict in its borders. Rather than having a military structure as the pride and first line of defense for the country, these honours are held by the intelligence operatives of the nation. The Defence Section is regarded by most within the skrell security community as an unfortunate necessity to combat piracy in the less civilised Traverse, other border regions, and frontiers. The Qekala that make up the Defence Section have a very poor standing in the Traverse, where they are most widespread and responsible for enforcing an extensive anti-piracy mandate—being viewed by many Traversers as unnecessary military policing. This reputation has not left the Defence Section unscathed, and is reflected in its relatively low quality, size, staffing, equipment, and funding compared to other branches of Federal security, and a miniscule force when compared to their Solarian neighbours. The lack of interest in the Defence Section has since been capitalised on by the C’thur Hive, particularly Queen Vytel, as vaurca warriors are perfectly suited to EVA operations, as well as acting as an intimidating force against pirates. These C’thuric Warriors have a Federation-designed loyalty implant much like their Qekala siblings. Although the injection of C’thur warriors has been an undeniable success, the effort was not enough to prevent the Federation’s [[The_Phoron_Scarcity:_Skrell_Arc\|recent]] [[Change_on_the_Horizon_Arc\|embarrassments]] in the Traverse region. Aside from their regular duties, the Qekala are responsible for providing the security for Federation embassies, consulates, and diplomats serving abroad.

			====Naval Structure====
			The Nralakk Federation’s military ships are designed primarily around extremely long-ranged engagement, with any deployed strikecraft consisting of psionically-piloted remote drones and the vanishingly-rare boarding craft. Built for responding against piracy and irregular anti-government actions, the average fleet strength of the Federation is miniscule in comparison to the immense fleets of the Solarian Alliance and similar human nations, with most non-Federation members having only seen the Qekala’s navy on border patrol sorties and the single deployment of the [[The_Beauchamp_Arc\|short-sightedly designed NFV Qheles]].
