The Nilean Community is the race responsible for acquiring knowledge of humanity’s victory from the Shiplords. Another mixed polity, they have a competent military, but their true strength lies in covert operations. They have enjoyed almost seventeen-hundred years of peace thanks to their intelligence network, and are believed to have created the Group of Six. Their contribution to the Contact Fleet was three of their most advanced Deep Range ‘explorer’ craft. Analysis of recovered data on the class suggests that these are more covert operation vessels than explorers. The Community is a selective demarchy.
