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 in the seventh-millenium after entering the Empyrean Expanse, appearing to share a similar predicament for they have an always on-the-run 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 (Battlestar Galactica Classic #5).

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, results in contact with the Cylon Empire's emissaries Baltar and Lucifer. Upon their return into the Expanse, Parrin and her Cylon escort are detected by Blue Squadron following its fracas with the Kiernu. Believing the Raider escort to be attackers to the then-unidentified vessel, Captain Apollo and fellow Warriors dispatch the escort and are introduced to another fugitive fleet (Battlestar Galactica Classic #0 & #3).
