– Taal Royal Refugees: A Shadowy Exodus ↫
Taal royal refugees from planet Oman Khera, in the Lyran Man system, (‘O-man-kher -a’ = Man central power) settled on the 3rd world, Mandoghiar, of the star system Ghiorak-An (Mirza, β Canis Majoris, in the Orion zone). The records of this somber era of the Lyran Wars tell about a deal concluded by the head of the Taal government with the Ciakahrr invaders, aiming to gain time to save the Man cultures and civil populations, allowing refugees to leave. However, a shadowy spot remains regarding the integrity of the Taal royals and even their unclear implication in the Ciakahrr invasion.
– The Mysterious Exodus: Escaping War ↫
All records regarding this episode and the Taal-Ciakahrr treaty were said to be lost or destroyed in the haste of escaping the war. Part of these agreements included the safe departure of the royal family. Two ships left the Man system: one carrying the royals and the other elites from high castes of Taal society, both escorted by a Ciakahrr fleet. The official destination was Vega, but as soon as the cortege was far enough, the Taal royal family diverted course for the Orion zone, specifically to the Mirza system.
– Unraveling Hidden Agendas ↫
It is obvious that the agreements between the Ciakahrr and the Taal royals included hidden clauses unknown to the official records. This theory would explain the connection between this small Taal group and the Reptilian residents of the Mirza system. These royal Taali were perhaps promised to reconquer their system and be given more power, considering the natural ability of the Ciakahrr to lie and deceive for their own advantage.
– Present-Day Intrigue ↫
A large amount of time has passed since these events and at present times, the Taali descendants of this colony have interbred and hybridized with local populations, making them a race apart, far from the Federation’s interests. Their involvement with the Ciakahrr Empire and the Orion Alliances is still unclear to this day.
