The Black Fleets have not been awakened for a long time. Their purpose, unknown, but they played a role of importance among all that surround the dark aura.
How long have they been here?
Unknown to the researchers.
Each of the Seven Cross Systems, surrounded by one large, two small, and three tiny.
What exactly are they controlled by? Foolish mistake of the inquisitive, but we'll get to that later.
(In Starlight-Canon, The Triamiurri activated on the black ships trying to seek an end to the renegade conflict. Since I don't want to break TIE or Solar Dominion, you'll get to choose the faction, whoever stumbles upon this detail.)
The First Wars
The Featherless Avians would develop to be a huge slave empire, using blast-railguns to destroy the command bridge and focused all plasma-blasters on the weapons, and captured as many as possible before moving to cripple and capture the next ship. Their tactics were, of course, interesting to say the least, but what would they be needing the slaves for anyway?
They quickly withdrew from the (faction) after being quickly dominated and pulled at a seemingly random starsystem. Perhaps they had pirated starmaps from the constantly-exploring Alatyi? The flagship of the Black Fleet from the First was personally commanded by Hukari Kaoco, an excellent commander... where he's watching. Some ships and fighters been left with blind orders, and have idled, firing clusters at ineffective range. He's also exceptionally good with handling guns, although deliberately fires just close enough to knock them.
The first and seventh fleet appeared on the starsystem near what seemed to be their target. In the distance there were ships, Yellow-Orange, Sky-Blue that hinted of void, light metal with green energy emanating from it and Rusty Blue, all seemed to clash against each other. This was probably the perfect opportunity. There was civil unrest among their slaves, although they didn't hear so. All they knew was they seemed perfect as their first target. Considering the others' tactics, the Shokahami be third last to face in space combat, second being (faction), first being the (faction).
This time they wouldn't be so lucky, half of their fleet has mutinied and the yellow ships are incredibly weak to plasma weapons, thanks to low shielding. Another factor is that they would be instantly flanked once the Featherless engage in combat, forced to split their fire.
"Perfect Timing" Hukari said, recognizing a large-scale battle from very far away. "Do you suggest we charge ahead?" Lieutenant Jikarra spoke. Hukari nodded, so the battle began.
Appearance: The Featherless (Akyran) are a semi-avian species that are light-tan colored, with dark brown eyes that have an extremely reflective (more reflective than the Icanni's Fur) yellow pupil. Depending on their age, they have some large brown spots all over themselves. They only had one body-format (Most species have two, the third being some sort of glitch among themselves), making it a little easier for their community.
Military Ships
The Ships were not fully void, but they were so dark unoperated
(seemingly) that they were called so.
Akyratés Design
Ambassador, Large BattleCruiser that has all of the weaponry they have
and okay plasma generators. Heavily relies on storages, which is it's
downfall when their dynamos aren't strong enough to carry supply.
Nightwing, Medium-size Frigate that's main weapon are two light-plasma
railguns, and three ion turrets. Perfect Dynamos, although lacking in
shields.
Maximus 6, Regular-Issue Fighter, designed for distracting fighters
and harassing bombers. No shielding, and has two pulse beams.
Maximus 7, Bomber-version of the M-6, re-equipped with two proton
torpedoes where the pulse beams are and at the edge of the wings, two
mini-rocket launchers.
Stolen Designs
AC-29, Small-size Corvette (barely over strike craft level) that
specializes in continuous beams to weaken starfighters, finishing them
using plasma gatlings.
WO-29, a fighter version of the Attack Corvette, uses plasma gatlings
and one small ion beam. The only standard-issue starfighter of theirs
to have any shields at all, although only having frontal shields. Has
a problem of constantly running out of power when using their weapons
and shielding at the same time.
K6-79 Razor, a powerful battlecruiser that's main weapon is two tesla
orbs sitting in front of the Claw-Curve Wings. It also had three
Railguns (now converted) and five Ion beams.
The Olive-Green on the rim of ships when lit signified surrender. The
Electric-Blue on the center, where the Green isn't, signified retreat
or idle. The Golden-Yellow outlining the weaponry signified attack.
