	The primary ideology of the Nilfari Hegemony is the pursuit of happiness and joy, which is regarded as the Hegemony’s founding principle. Misery is to be avoided at all costs and regimes that allow their citizens to be to miserable are hated and despised, even invaded.

	~~===Qusayyid===~~

	A four-armed, blue-skinned race originally from the wild space between the Orion and Perseus Arms, the Qusayyid are a nomadic warrior-culture, centered around the clans of their lost homeworlds. Ancient tales and entries in delapidated databanks hold that the primary Qusayyid homeworld had been the battleground of rival clans for countless millenia until its' conquering at the hands of the mad Khan Gilmakesh and his eventual domination of nearly the entire Qusayyid race. The Qusayyid chafed under his increasingly paranoid and psychotic rule for nearly five hundred years before an unnamed warlord, known The Truekhan, began a war of liberation approximately one thousand years ago. His success was largely attributed to his vast army of genetically-perfect clone soldiers and their trueborn leaders' new and devastating strategy of unrelenting total war.

	As the Truekhan's armies closed in on the Mad Khan's citadel on Qusayy itself, Gilmakesh grew increasingly tense and paranoid, attempting to micromanage the defense of his rapidly shrinking territories and executing generals left and right. He eventually reached the point where he saw no other choice but to take his final option, launching his many hidden arsenals of atomic weapons in a last act of spite before killing himself. Once the ensuing atomic holocaust had subsided, the Truekhan marshalled together the survivors of every clan and ordered that they board what ships they could and depart for whatever worlds they could. Ever since, the Qusayyid clans have drifted ever closer to the Orion Arm and the sector of Domain, developing their technology and adapting their strategies to the limitations of being a fleet-based race, perfecting the Truekhan's cloning arts.

	A century ago the first technologically-advanced clanfleets of massive Qusayyid cluster-ships entered Domain and established a beachhead on a few dozen border worlds. Fortunately for the races of Domain, that's where they halted to develop and fortify their beachhead. Unfortunately for the races of Domain, hundreds of clans large and small and numbering in the hundreds of billions of souls have nearly completed their trek through the void and are about to carve a new home for themselves.
