History
Giokans first appeared on their homeworld about 1,060,000 years ago as sea creatures. Around this time, sea levels had risen dramatically due to a global warming event, pushing their evolution onto land. They were an extremely carnivorous creature, hunting animals for thousands of years, making many species of animal completely extinct. They have since been recovered with DNA manipulation technology.
In their first few millennia of being an agricultural civilization, many breakthroughs were made. Better ways to manipulate energy were found, cultures were being set up, and the Giokians began to spread across Giokia. Soon enough, after millennia of development, the first Giokian eyes drifted towards the stars, in wonder.
Eventually, rivaling nations that wanted to conquer the stars rose up, in the form of their own space corporations. mass-expansion and technological breakthroughs were also witnessed in this time, bringing rise to primitive rocketry.
Decades later, in the 4000s, Giokians began to settle on their moon, and also sent out exploratory missions to other worlds. Soon after, permanent colonies were established. After years of rivaling nations racing for superiority, they decided to unite under one flag, and others followed suit.
By this time, many Giokian scientists were experimenting in Sleeper Ships, which would house Giokians to other planets. Not only would this save on resources, but also pioneer an age of planetary colonization. This persisted for a few centuries, until they achieved FTL travel.
In 4506, after the invention of FTL travel, they discovered the Nioleks and Ilaskans. During this time, Nioleks and Ilaskans were part of the Core Worlds Alliance. They soon signed a treaty to become part of the CWA.
However, Giokans soon began harnessing the power of black holes with Penrose Spheres. They soon began conquering many planets within their range. Within only a few years, they built the first hi-tech battleships, and began to invade the Nioleks and Ilaskans. By this time, the CWA had fallen to their war-like hands.. They discovered the human race in January 9056 but both civilizations did not work well. The First Galactic War had begun on 5th May 9056.
After fighting for 227 years, the war came to an end in 9283. The Giokans had faced near-extinction. After many millennia of staying in the shadows, they resettled on Giokia, to start a new nation, the Giokian Republic of Giokia. This nation is a member of the Confederacy, and has exploded in size since its inception in the 12000s.
