Biography[]
Early life[]
Thousands of years ago, In their fixations of advanced technology and riches, the amengi soon depleted their Home-world of resources, leading them to invade other worlds and enslave any lesser civilisation.
Enslavement of the yautja's[]
During their intergalactic invasions, the amengi would invade the planet Yautja prime, successfully enslaving the yautja race (which at the time were a primitive race known as the hish). The amengi were cruel to the hish during their colonisation, using the primitives as a means of slaves, food and entertainment, especially condoning in manhunts of the hish. sometimes amengi hunters would genetically modify certain hish for a better thrill in the hunt, unbeknownst to them that this modification would soon be their undoing.
Yautja uprising[]
Tired of their abuse and enslavement by the amgeni, the hish, led by legendary hunter kaail, staged an uprising and fought back against the invaders. Before the uprising, the amengi military had become soft due to centuries of lavishment in luxuries and, despite their advanced technology, were throughly overwhelmed by the hish rebellion and were almost wiped out, with the remaining amengi enslaved by the hish and the hish rebels took what remained of their advanced technology and used it for their own, soon become the yautija's known today.
