	The Marauders are a broad term for pirates, smugglers, and other ~~[[Federation_Crime_and_Resistance#Marauders\|~~criminals]] who operate within the Traverse. Despite sharing a term, each group typically operates independently from each other, from pirate groups that plunder resources to extort higher prices from their original recipients, to collectivized groups that intend to aid colonies in the Traverse to lessen their dependence on the federal core. While a loose group, the Ti'Rakqi is the largest and most notable Marauder group active in the Traverse, consisting of multiple fleets of Marauders that work in tandem for mutual benefit.

	'''Nral'malic''' (~~lit.~~ “Homeworld Voice”) 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]] 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.

Cohesion and Violence

	During [[Skrell_Early_History#Rise_of_the_Skrell\|early skrell history]], violent conflict was commonplace between different clans and between subspecies due to their differences. As skrell societies developed, violence became less culturally accepted, and conflict between opposing groups was not allowed to progress into physical altercations. Most violence during this period shifted towards small-scale, ritualised warfare throughout early-modern skrell history. After the end of the [[Skrell_Synthetic_Age#Late_Synthetic_Age\|Synthetic Era]], particularly after the Glorsh-Omega period, this stance changed as the [[Skrell_Biology#X’Lu’oa\|fertility crisis]] of the modern day leaves most skrell with deep fears over the extinction of their species. This is most obvious in the [[Skrell_Recent_History#Collaborator_Trials\|collaborator trials]], with the most severe punishment being forced interment into cryogenic stasis instead of execution or life imprisonment.

	While conflict still occurs in skrell society, physical violence is considered unbecoming and beneath them. Instead, skrell have turned to nonviolent conflict through debate or social pressure between opposing groups. One method, known as a “Unity Demonstration", consists of a group of skrell arriving to socially pressure and intimidate another group to coerce them into submission. Despite this, violence still exists between skrell, typically damaging property and infrastructure as a common tactic, particularly by criminal organizations and the [[~~ederation_Crime_and_Resistance~~#The_Resistance\|Lyukal]]. The threat of violence or serious injury is typically the limit for most, but many skrell can still be pushed to violence if forced to defend themselves.

	Violence between skrell and other species is viewed in a different light, with the same sentiment that all life is precious being shared by less skrell. Other skrell consider other species to be lesser, and are much more willing to fight them should the need come to pass. Despite this, most skrell are aware of their physical limits as a species, and outside of groups like the [[Skrell_Faith#Suur’ka\|Suur'ka]] and those influenced by primarily non-skrell communities, physical conflict should be avoided.

	The ~~“Zona Bovinae”~~ is a particular region of the brain which exists in all sophonts originating from the Orion Spur, as well as nearly all living animals. Originally presumed to be a brain center for an obsolete form of communication by human scientists, the Zona Bovinae was catalogued during a dissection of a cow’s brain in 2256, which was later discovered to be present in humans and other social animals. Despite its prevalence, human researchers would ultimately consider it a vestigial region of the brain, having controlled a now obsolete action in ancient humans.

These interfaces allow work to continue even while asleep, seeing adoption by researchers and bluespace navigators. Srom-capable bluespace drives allow for teams of skrell pilots to coordinate their navigation in order to match the dedicated AI navigators used outside of the Nralakk Federation.

In the late stages of the ITM, a Lyukal weapons-trafficking operation within Federation space was halted due to a combined effort of turncoat ITM members, the Ruupkala, and Nlomkala officers. These weapons were intended to be granted towards the militant groups within the Independent Traverser Movement, who remained active after the result of successful negotiations with the Grand Council. The Lyukal’s supplying cells were hopeful that the ITM would continue their resistance against the Federation, with armed resistance becoming the next step towards a free Traverse had it arrived.

	Within the Traverse, however, the Lyukal are becoming more emboldened in light of the Nralakk Federation’s pullback as phoron rationing restricts Qukala presence. The Lyukal’s cells have expanded greatly in the perceived abandonment by many Traverse skrell, with agitations for independence slowly returning to public thought only a few years after the end of their independence movement. As the Nlom relays’ power wanes or fails entirely, anti-Federation sentiments have taken root and continue unabated.
