In the fires of a decade long war of revolution, the NMX Nekovalkyrja of planet Yuukan fought back against the cruel lash of their inhuman Mishhuvurthyar masters. Under the leadership of their great Empress Michuru did they put the entire planet to the torch, burning away the deep bunkers of psionic enslavers and wastelands of genetically engineered parasites.

Yet as victory neared, their great monarch was grievously wounded and forced into perpetual stasis- Her cherished legion of soldiers inheriting only a world of desperately crippled infrastructure, withering supplies, and a broken technology base that now relies more on sheer manpower and grit, rather than true enlightenment or understanding.

And thus, the new generation of martyrs reach out to the stars. They spread the message of true nobility, and the superiority of the warrior-nekovalkyrja race.

Their cousins the Yamatai Star Empire are clearly corrupted by debauchery and petty politicking, refusing to bring the sad and desperate lesser races into the fold… But the spark of kinship is there in old radical groups such as the Black Spiral, of course! If only they could be taught the shortcomings of their false empress, then together, they might spread the wings of liberation to all corners of the kikyo sector…

To live within the Yuukan society means servitude towards the common goal first and foremost. Every Nekosoldat is a valuable resource that must be directed, organised, protected from itself- Tested for loyalty at every opportunity, and corrected if they are found lacking.

The genesis of the state is tied to the fall of the United Outer Colonies, and subsequently the occupation of the facilities in the Yuukan system by SMX and NMX remnants at the tail end of the Second Mishhuvurthyar War.

With resources drying up and their Mishuvurthyar masters only becoming more cruel, the dire state of the common NMX soldier was not unique to this planet. The underground cities were kept safe, but the Mishhuvurthyar only became more and more delusional and paranoid, prone to infighting, insanity or constructing secret dens of illicit playthings for themselves. When the pre-programmed loyalty of their servants couldn’t be stretched anymore, a rogue fleet captain named Michuru rallied a huge army of further remnants, fleeing from other planets like Ukk and HX-10 II, and used them to combat the existing power structure.

A third of the NMX Nekovalkyrja refused to change sides, already having followed their masters to hell and back during the wars against Yamatai. It took nearly six years to liberate every city, lay siege to every stronghold, and to execute all of their old leaders.

State sanctions on information cloud the exact picture of the tactics used, but their current inventory suggests that even chemical weapons and battalions of brainwashed captives were not beyond the use of either side. The entire planet was infested with Mishuvurthyar parasites and a horrifying grimoire of psionic weapons by their enemies, and such things could not be defeated without the most extreme prejudice and heartless calculations of mortality.

The planet was once a rainforest, but now it could best be described as a caustic swamp, an infinite range of twisting trenches and tunnels, protecting the handful of mountain cities that still remain standing.

Michuru was only given statehood after their untimely demise near the end of hostilities, idealized accounts suggesting she led one final charge against a grounded battleship, at the head of a great gleaming power armour brigade. Numerous paintings and holovids gained a sort of special cult status after the fact.

By YE 43, every citizen-soldier was being actively tested for their knowledge and affection towards this individual, with deviants subject to re-education or imprisonment.

Of course, a knock-on effect of these state measures, and the fact that they killed their entire scientist caste, is that their technological base is now a horrendous hodge-podge of ad-hoc mechanisms. On the surface, they proclaim every new piece of equipment as a new miracle- But in secret, the chief goal of their military is currently concerned with stealing more updated schematics, or even kidnapping scientists from other nations.

It's no small secret that their state must continue to operate via stealth and subterfuge to survive on the interplanetary stage, but they all relish the day when they can throw off their cloak of shadows and stand out in the light.

The Yuukan Republic government is completely inseparable from their armed forces, the YNNX. The entirety of their population are NH-29/YNNX-2 type "Nekosoldat", modified derivatives of the older Nekovalkyrja line. All citizens are tested continuously for their loyalty to Michuru and the state, which decides their social caste much more than actual competence.

It's worth noting that they do accept foreigners of all species except Mishuvurthyar- But will convert all refugees and prisoners, willing or unwilling, into Nekosoldat, and then begin indoctrination. They see this as their divine duty, to uplift and save the sector from it's own hideous and debased vices.

See; The YNNX Nekosoldat Caste System for more information.

Effectively ruled by the military in the physical absence of their great monarch, the YNNX have no constitution or charters, only the whims of the current High Marshall, and the hierarchy of Concubines to the Empress charged with preserving the heart and soul of the nation. They are very methodical and brutal in their methods, but nuanced enough to avoid straight conflict with other nations if they can help it.

The nation is still very young and stands upon the precipice of destruction. But, as they are keen to point out, their territory was abandoned by Yamatai and only liberated by their own hands. They'll fight to defend their homeland and their new cultural values to the last soldier, if needs be.

Though the nation is relatively new and has no major allies to speak of, they do have the benefit of former Kakutama Heavy Industries mining and manufacturing facilities that were abandoned in the system. This is the foundation that allows their vast but technically inept land army to function, equipping tens of thousands of soldiers with cheap weapons redesigned from old NMX hardware and Yamatai plunder from the Second Mishhuvurthyar War.

They make use of indentured servants for labour. Half out of necessity, since their ability to produce or repair robots or AI is abysmal. Technically they could use NMX brainslave technology, but it is not in their ethos. Of course this means they are constantly struggling to feed a bloated population with very little agricultural nuance or available land.

High command is very much looking for ways to improve their industry through espionage and subterfuge.
