The Xelkram is a race encountered on an exploration mission to a distant star system found by a Japanese expidition force. The system they were encounter in is one of their colonies on the boarder of the influence. The initial encounter was a great disaster to the Japanese force. The action of the Xelkram was mistaken as a hotsile action and the japanese ships opened fired on the alean ships. the result was very little damage to the alien ships, the return fire agasint the Japanese ships was
more then devistating. Only a light cruiser from the IJN force managed to escape with knoeldge of this new alien threat. This incident was recorded by the long range UNSC Exploration Cruiser, Columbus. As a result of the mishap of first contact, the Xelkram have been probing the edges of human space. Never moving to far in or sending in large forces to provoke a full scale war. Long range sensors from most nations have encounter a number of small fleet bolstering large massive warships. As of 2185, little else is known about the Xelkram other then their apparent mortal hatred for the Sa'Vasku and the Phalons. In several recorded sessio, the Xelkram have been witnessed going out of there way to engage and chase down ships belonging to the Sa'Vasku and Phalons. Knowing the Sa'Vasku to be an ancient race, it is highly suspected that the Xelkram are also an old or ancient race, but as to their alliances, affiliations and goals, nothing is known as this time. |
