Rakelli

The Rakelli are a little known race originating from what is now Klingon territory.

Background
The Rakelli were once a prosperous empire ruled by a much loved Rakelli Emperor who always had the support of his people. While the emperor ruled with an iron fist, he did not worry about deceit from within because all supported him.

However, a still developing race known as the Klingons staged a daring attack in the year 2070 and took much of the Rakelli empire, and killed the emperor.
