Clan Badger

Clan gytherric ('Badger' in Basic) is the main Joyite authority and the strongest Jade Worlds clan by far.

History
The varied subterranean cities and nations on Joy melded into a unified planetary state in 20 BBY, shortly after they re-invented the hyperdrive. A man named Eddeppak became President in 17 BBY; an aggressive expansionist, he oversaw the creation of a substantial hyperspace-capable fleet in huge subterranean hangars, undetectable from orbit. These hangars still exist, giving Clan Badger the second largest shipyard in the Jade Worlds.

In 12 ABY, Jade Worlds ships discovered Joy. A Joyite ship fired a welcoming salute, and the lack of viable translation gear caused a brief firefight in Joy orbit. The accident led to an abortive war, during which Halla Kitani Kaijus, Thormatar, Jita Hangetsu, Jagheky and Agami Bito distinguished themselves. Eddeppak surrendered to the then-Shau'ghun, Keito Kaijus, who amalgamated the Joyites into the Jade Worlds. The Joyites became Clan Badger, named after the gytherric, or Mustachioed Badger, native to their world.

A year later, not long after a significant human presence was established on Joy, the Uul'ba-Rai Crusade ripped through the system. Most surface settlements were destroyed, but the great underground cities survived, as did the rapidly improving technological base of the Joyite people. The Joyites became the majority race of the Jade Worlds, and the largest clan by far. Prominent Joyites include Eddeppak himself; Commodores Jagheky (2ic of the Guard) and Unagar; and Captains Gerhushin and Thormatar.

Ship Designs
Some of these designs were created in partnership with or sold to other clans or the Guard; as a result, they are not used exclusively by the Badger.
