 Nekovalkyrja (pronounced "Nay-ko-wul-ku-ree") are the cat-eared clone soldiers of the [[faction:yamatai_star_empire]]. It is common for them to be be referred to as "nekos." In [[language:Yamataigo]] they are called 猫ワルキューレ (nekowarukyūre). Nekovalkyrja (pronounced "Nay-ko-wul-ku-ree") are the cat-eared clone soldiers of the [[faction:yamatai_star_empire]].

 The Star Army Research Administration, a branch of the Ketsurui Zaibatsu, eventually produced the [[species:nekovalkyrja:nh-17]] Nekovalkyrja V from YE 23 to 27, producing in the span of four years a number of four-and-a-half-trillion models; making them the most common series yet which came in the 17R (regular), 17S (stealth) and the 17T (telepathic) variants. The Star Army Research Administration, a branch of the Ketsurui Zaibatsu, eventually produced the [[species:nekovalkyrja:nh-17]] Nekovalkyrja V from YE 23 to 27, producing in the span of four years a number of four-and-a-half-trillion models; making them the most common series yet which came in the 17R (regular), 17S (stealth) and the 17T (telepathic) variants.

-==== NH-22 ==== +
-More recent developments introduced the NH-22 Nekovalkyrja types, but instead of seeing mass-production, they only lasted for a prototype phase before they branched off into two variants whom became types of their own: The NH-22M Nekovalkyrja VI, originally designed to assemble most the the NH-17’s variants under one powerful package, was perfected and reclassified as the NH-27 Nekovalkyrja (Type 27); The NH-22C Nekovalkyrja VI, designed to be a civilian unit capable of child-bearing instead of a military-grade machine, was reclassified as the ‘Yamataian’ race under Nekovalkyrja Re-integration Plan. The [[species:nh-22c]] were strongly advocated by the Yamataian Government to diminish the number of Nekovalkyrja combat units in an effort to integrate them into society when the Yamatai Star Empire was not in a state of war.+

-In [[calendar:YE 28]], the NH-28 Nodal Integrated Weapon System saw the field. Rather than being an actual living creature, the [[species:nekovalkyrja:nh-28_niws]] pushed the weapon-aspect of the Nekovalkyrja series to the hilt, creating cold killing machine designed as a ruthless counter the Mishhuvurthyar.+

-The NH-29 (now known as the [[species:nekovalkyrja:nh-29]]) was made by the [[stararmy:sara]] as an answer to the NH-22C/Yamataians, so that the Nekovalkyrja could continue their own species instead of being absorbed by another.

This shift is why the Tennyo is no stronger than the [[species:nekovalkyrja:nh-29|NH-29]]. With the NMX manufacturing their own [[species:nekovalkyrja:nh-29|NH-29]] as soldiers and infiltration personnel, the designers wanted NH-33 easier to identify, starting with change in the hand structure. Also a number of internal systems were modified, namely the cardiac and respiratory were based on the [[species:minkan]]. The respiratory system was upgraded with the ability to store oxygen, to help improve survivability in situations where a ship's structural integrity was compromised, specialized for space service, and equipped with several security enhancements

 + 
 +==== Niko Yârme ==== 
 +The Niko Yârme (Free Neko) are the surviving [[faction:mishhuvurthyar:nmx:nekovalkyrja|NMX Nekovalkyrja]] on the planet the Mishhuvurthyar called Aetherus Haven, which would later be named [[planet:clandream]] by the [[faction:hidden_sun_clan]]. After suffering continuous bombardment by the [[stararmy:start]], these Nekos rebelled from their NMX masters, and spent their time trying to survive on a devastated world. They were discovered by members of the [[plots:searching_hawk]] while it was on a training mission. The Clan quickly contacted Yamatai to discuss what should be done with them.((https://stararmy.com/roleplay-forum/threads/message-to-the-star-empire-of-yamatai.16328/post-235919)) Ultimately, the nekos were given a choice; they could be delivered to the [[faction:yamatai_star_empire]], or remain with the Clan as [[faction:hidden_sun_clan:slaves]] until they could earn citizenship. More than half of the survivors chose to go to Yamatai. The rest, numbering around 250, opted to remain with the clan. Many Niko Yârme who chose to not return to Yamatai made this choice because they feared for their lives if they returned; others believed that they might be forced to serve in another military.  
 + 
 +Today, they are the smallest population in the [[faction:hidden_sun_clan]], numbering less than 300 members in [[timeline:ye_35]]. They go by the name 'Niko Yârme', which translates to 'Neko that are freed', or Free Neko for simplicity. The challenges they overcame during and after the bombings of [[planet:clandream]] made these Nekos fairly independent and resourceful, and they have a strong sense of community.  
 + 
 +All Niko Yârme have [[species:nekovalkyrja:nh-29]] bodies. They possess all of the standard abilities of that body.
