Introduction[]

Nivelians have a reptilian appearance, and they comprise the population of their eponymous republic.

Judging by the tech levels of their space stations, the Nivelians are a technologically advanced species. They produce powerful explosives^[1]. Nivelians are also a significant species in galactic politics, as they are represented in two of the four recognized factions in Galaxy on Fire 2.

History[]

Sometime between 3589 and 3624 A.D., the Nivelian Republic fell into a civil war. This event was later called simply the Nivelian Civil War. Although the cause of the war is not clear, as a result, the Mido system declared independence from the republic and formed the Mido Confederation. Many Terran rebels and outlaws also joined the confederation and make up a significant amount of Midorian population today. Eventually the Eanya system, formally part of the Nivelian Republic, also joined the Mido Confederation. During the Void conflict, the Nivelian Republic supplied the explosives that would destroy the Void Mothership.

After the civil war ended, the Nivelian republic was taken over by the Black Guard and its militaristic leader Trunt Harval, who sought to destroy the Mido Confederation - starting with the Supernova at Ginoya - for its betrayal to the Nivelian republic. His actions were protested by even the Nivelians. Eventually, the Black Guard was destroyed after his death and a new government has been established in its place.
