 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]].

 Yui and Yumi were raised as babies, but later Nekovalkyrja were generally created as full adults. The first attempts at trying to make an artificial mind template for Nekovalkyrja who weren't raised as children were a mixed bag - some of them, like Eve, were psychopaths. Yui and Yumi were raised as babies, but later Nekovalkyrja were generally created as full adults.

 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. The NH-29 was based on the NH-17, but does not share most of their combat capabilities, settling for a revised, more robust physiology and relying more on power armor to provide for their fighting capabilities. The NH-29 was the standard model Nekovalkyrja body used by the [[stararmy:start]] until its replacement by the [[species:nekovalkyrja:nekovalkyrja_type_33]] around [[timeline:ye_34]], making it the primary Nekovalkyrja serving throughout the [[timeline:events:second_mishhuvurthyar_war]].

-The [[species:Nekovalkyrja:Nekovalkyrja Type 33]] design process began around the same time that the [[species:nekovalkyrja:nh-32]] was started in [[timeline:ye_32]]. The NH-3x as it was called was also influenced by the shifting role of the [[species:nekovalkyrja:nh-29]], becoming the primary ship-borne troops and the [[species:nekovalkyrja:nh-32]] specialized for Infantry. 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 a 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. +The [[species:Nekovalkyrja:Nekovalkyrja Type 33]] design process began around the same time that the [[wip_2023_or_older:species:nekovalkyrja:nh-32]] was started in [[timeline:ye_32]].

-The reason the new NH-33 is called the Tennyo is to distinguish from the [[species:nekovalkyrja:nh-32]]. Tennyo means Celestial Maiden, in Yamataian, and given that the NH-33 is primarily for Shipboard service, the name was considered descriptive of the new role.+The reason the new NH-33 is called the Tennyo is to distinguish from the [[wip_2023_or_older:species:nekovalkyrja:nh-32]].

 The Designers from [[stararmy:sara]] and [[corp:ketsurui_zaibatsu]] carefully considered the various attributes of the various NH-Series to come up with a homogenous design. As the design work went on into the following year the project was renamed the NH-33. It became available in late [[timeline:ye_33]]. The Designers from [[stararmy:sara]] and [[corp:ketsurui_zaibatsu]] carefully considered the various attributes of the various NH-Series to come up with a homogenous design.

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.
