The '''Okaati''' are a sentient, bi-pedaled race of creatures who, during the [[sixth-millennium]], depart their native homeworld following an ecological holocaust of their own making. They are encountered by [[The Fleet (TOS-DE alternate)|the Fleet]] in the [[Seventh-millennium|seventh-millenium]] after entering the [[Empyrean Expanse]], appearing to share a similar predicament for they have an always on-the-run [[Okaati fleet|fugitive fleet of their own]]. 

== Origins ==
Initially pacifistic and humble, the Okaati became parasitic in their wayward exile due to resource scarcity and other socio-political factors, with adeptness at stripping resources from the worlds within the [[Empyrean Expanse]]. Their aggressive ways affect the numerous species who formally attempt to aid them peacibly, resulting in the creation of [[the Comitat]], an assemblage of victimized species seeking both justice and containment of the Okaati ({{Comics|classic|4}}).  

In the intervening millennia, the Okaati became a scourge that outpace and outwitted the Comitat, striving to find sources outside of the Expanse. This search, lead by their leader [[Parrin]] sometime in or about [[7349 (alternate)|7349]], results in contact with the [[Cylon Empire (TOS-DE alternate)|Cylon Empire]]'s emissaries [[Baltar (TOS-DE alternate)|Baltar]] and [[Lucifer (TOS-DE alternate)|Lucifer]]. Upon their return into the Expanse, Parrin and her Cylon escort are detected by [[Blue Squadron (TOS-DE alternate)|Blue Squadron]] following its fracas with the [[Kiernu]]. Believing the Raider escort to be attackers to the then-unidentified vessel, Captain [[Apollo (TOS-DE alternate)|Apollo]] and fellow Warriors dispatch the escort and are introduced to another [[Okaati fleet|fugitive fleet]] ({{Comics|classic|0}} & {{Comics|classic|3|short=Y}}).

-Openly hostile to outsiders, the Kiernu forbade Commander [[Adama (TOS-DE alternate)|Adama]]'s [[The Fleet (TOS-DE alternate)|Fleet]] to enter a small passage of Kiernu's space to allow the Fleet to make maximal use of its dwindling [[Tylium (TOS-DE alternate)|tylium]] supply, With no viable alternative for the Fleet, Adama disregards the directive of the [[Kiernu Chancellor]] and proceeds anyway. [[Kiernu fighter|Their crafts]] are markedly inferior to both the Colonials and the [[Cylons (TOS-DE alternate)|Cylons]] ({{Comics|classic|0}}).

-== Okaati and the Comitat ==

-The Kiernu's attitude of outsiders is directly proportional to its interaction with the [[Okaati]], a race from outside the Expanse whose fleet of survivors have made the nebula their scavenging ground ({{Comics|classic|0}} & {{Comics|classic|4}}). As the latest victim of [[the Comitat]] before [[The Fleet (TOS-DE alternate)|the Fleet]]'s arrival, [[Kiernu Chancellor|their Chancellor]] is given the mantle of being the Comitat's sole leader ({{Comics|classic|4}}).
-== Death by the Cylons ==
-Having previous contact with the Cylon Empire, the Kiernu are left seemingly unmolested until the Cylons take note of their failure to interdict the Fleet's entry into the Expanse. [[Lucifer (TOS-DE alternate)|Lucifer]] and a Cylons task force invade the Kiernu homeworld to exterminate them, as an example to other races who demonstrate their uselessness to the Cylons' aims. Lieutenant [[Sheba (TOS-DE alternate)|Sheba]]'s [[Silver Spar Squadron (TOS-DE alternate)|Silver Spar Squadron]] relays this fate to Commander Adama, to his horror as he blames himself for helping give the Cylons justification for their fate ({{Comics|classic|1}}).
-After assuming the mantle of the Comitat leader, formerly unclaimed by the Kiernu Chancellor, Adama and the Comitat engage in retribution against the Cylons and secure a peace between the Comitat and the Okaati, re-homing the surrendering Okaati on the [[Kiernu homeworld|Kiernu's former homeworld]] ({{Comics|classic|4}}—{{Comics|classic|5|short=y}}).
-== Notes ==
-* In {{Comics|classic|0}}, the Kiernu's [[Kiernu Chancellor|Chancellor]] is depicted with pink skin, however {{Comics|classic|1}} shows the Kiernu (including its Chancellor) as having a dark olive-green skin.
