History
Evacuation of New Tython
The years following the massacre of New Tython remained difficult for the resident tribes. Many tribes had been annihilated outright in the Dark Brotherhood's act of genocide, while many others who had once numbered in the thousands had been reduced to dozens of members or even just individuals. Relatively few major cultural figures and spiritual leaders had survived, and almost no possessions or records of all that had once been. In a single act, centuries of unique histories, dialects, and traditions had been removed from the universe. Divided among the transports and warships which had borne them away from their murdered planet, even efforts to form unity among the survivors struggled thanks to the monumental loss inflicted upon them by the Brotherhood. Although this had been equally true of many colonists, to the point where some argued that they should just move on and adjust to the change, rather than attempt to rebuild. Part of this was borne of similar outbursts of grief at so many deaths, along with frustrations at trying to adapt to a new environment, but a single truth remained true: While the colonists at least retained other worlds where their people were dominant, almost nine tenths of the Harakoan species had been executed. Over the coming decades, those numbers would continue to dwindle.
Wilderness Years
By the time that Clan Odan-Urr's leaders had parlayed an agreement with the Vatali Empire had and found a place for most of their people, the Harakoans had at least formed a relative new structure which still recognised both the surviving and extinct tribes in equal measure. Though loose linked and attempting to blur past tribal lines, much of it had been centered about the preservation of what remained. A significant effort was placed upon the protection and support of the four hundred remaining members who had been born with revocance. Yet even with this new hierarchy, there were difficulties. Relatively few among them were adept at life on ships or operating complex machinery, and their skills were almost entirely useless within any vessel. Although some were able to adapt, others found their efforts limited to manual labour or even tasks which would otherwise have been limited to droids.
Matters continued to deteriorate after the arrival on Kiast and the efforts to reorganise the refugees. With the immediate dangers gone and a lack of the unifying challenge which was survival among Odan-Urr's fleet, many individual groups wished to split off and return to living alone once more. Hungering to seek land and return to any vestige of familiarity, they hoped to find hunting grounds or biomes that they might recognise. Instead they were greeted with a stark surprise. Although efforts had been made to organise and facilitate the influx of tens of thousands of new arrivals, little could be done to make them comfortable at first. Many Harakoans found themselves being granted quarters in Kiast's flying cities, or offered places among the Quorahi settlements, while a relative few were dispatched to Solyiat and Daleem. Even those who were given the luxury of a less urbanized environment were not often given one familiar to their people or narrow locations which were already being infringed upon by local owners. It was only thanks to the direct intervention of Odan-Urr's members that the majority of those given right to settle on Solyiat and Daleem were granted locations suited to their past homes over somewhere completely alien.
Given the almost entirely alien nature of their new homes and difficulty in adapting, many of those who had been given homes on Kiast found their options to build a life limited. Hunters were not needed, their knowledge of Kiast was at best a passing amusement, and many locals found their presence to be both a concern and highly intrusive. This left groups open to exploitation by the criminal underworld, as Harakoans were sought out by pirates, smugglers, and underworld figures alike, for every task from assisting in spice smuggling to acting as hired muscle. The use of warriors in particular became something of a status symbol among minor gangs, where their more exotic nature and skill with more primitive weaponry was seen as desirable. With little else to lose, and some being the sole members left of their people, some warriors actively sought out such groups, if only to find purpose in putting their skills to good use.
