'''The Kriken Empire''' are a collective of the insectoid Kriken from the [[Angler Galaxy]]. They are an agile and highly intelligent race known for their warlike tendencies, constantly invading other worlds in order to find more room to expand their numbers. The Kirken are primarily a menace to the [[Galactic Federation]] and have been mostly a background faction in the Yoshi Bodyguard Universe. | |||

The Kriken evolved on a planet only known as Hive World Core, a swamp planet near the galactic core of the Angler Galaxy.

For fifty years the Kriken pushed the Vhozon back, adapting to their technology and evolving to be stronger all the while.

"You can't fight the Kriken like any other army. They don't care how many you kill, you can't demoralize them. They're locusts; they're the cosmos rising up every hundred years to remind us humans just how close we constantly are to losing everything we've achieved."
-Colonel JP Harding, during the 7th Kriken Surge

The Kriken Empire are a collective of the insectoid Kriken from the Angler Galaxy. They are an agile and highly intelligent race known for their warlike tendencies, constantly invading other worlds in order to find more room to expand their numbers. The Kirken are primarily a menace to the Galactic Federation and have been mostly a background faction in the Yoshi Bodyguard Universe.
History
Beginnings and Founding of Hive World Core
The Kriken evolved on a planet only known as Hive World Core, a swamp planet near the galactic core of the Angler Galaxy. They evolved from a primitive Triskeleton Swamp Bug, and unlike most races are very recent evolutions from their insect counterparts. Also on this world was a race known as the Piljmorians, an ape-like race that focused on industry. For years the Piljmorians attempted to exterminate the Kriken, who were a menace that threatened to overpopulate the planet. The Kriken's quick evolutionary response and reproductive cycle allowed them to adapt over the centuries to better combat the Piljmorians; they became more intelligent, tactical, and brutal.
At the end of their war, the Kriken had pushed across the planet, overrunning the Piljmorian cities and wiping their race out. Left with no enemy to sate their brutal nature, the Kriken turned to fighting one another. In the chaos, the first Warlord arose, who united the strongest Kriken factions and turned the Piljmorian factories to work for them. Seeing that their planet would soon be overpopulated by the Kriken, they turned to continuing the Piljmorian's research into space flight. Within five years the first Kriken ship left the atmosphere. By that time their planet was overrun by giant spires of Kriken architecture, and trillions of Kriken populated the planet. It would come to be known as Hive World Core, the first Hive World of the Kriken Empire.
Expansion and the Swarm Wars
The Kriken spread out across the galaxy quickly, invading world after world and populating it within a span of years. Their first expansion attempts were against an advanced race known as the Zoulians. The Zoulians had not encountered intelligent life before, but had advanced to faster-than-light travel. The Kriken fleet caught them by surprise, and within two years the Zoulians had lost their homeworld. The remainder of the Zou race retreated into what is now Federation space.
The Kirken assimilated this new technology, founding their first Technology World, a planet that had its resources and production devoted solely to advancing the Kriken's weapons and war fleet technology. Adding FTL travel to their fleets, the Kriken had a surge of expansion. For the next three hundred years they were unopposed, spreading through the galaxy and wiping out any race they would encounter.
They then discovered the Vhozon, a race more advanced then they but with very little in the way of military technology. Initial contact resulted in the loss of the Vhozon Empire's outer worlds. The surprise of the Kriken, though, the Vhozon fought back, pushing their fleet back in several engagements. The Kriken Warlord was surprised by this, never before had a race even stalled the Kriken fleet. He sent a massive surge to destroy the Vhozon. This conflict would be known as the Swarm War.
For fifty years the Kriken pushed the Vhozon back, adapting to their technology and evolving to be stronger all the while. Meanwhile the Vhozon were becoming stronger as a race as well, using genetic mutations and new wartime advances to stall the Kriken. However the Kriken were soon within the inner systems of the Vhozon's territory. In order to stop them, they created a psychic storm, the Mist of Vho.
The Kriken attempted to send their fleets through the Mist of Vho, hoping to push their way into the core worlds, constantly pushing for a year. This became known as the Year of Destruction, which resulted in the loss of several trillion Kriken. Any time a ship had managed to navigate its way through the Psychic Storm it would be destroyed by the Vhozon fleet, immune to the storm's effects. The Kriken were forced to retreat, their first actual defeat.
