Markhat Collective
The Markhat Collective is a nefarious multi-species organization based on Markhat, the fifth planet of the Alkorin (Altair) star system in the Aquila constellation. The Alkorin system, located 16 light-years from Terra, is home to a complex web of species with mixed intentions and overlapping allegiances.
Since the fall of the Nebu Empire, the Orion Greys have withdrawn from the Collective, but the remaining members persist. The Dark Fleet, though expelled from the Sol system, remains active in this galactic quadrant from its headquarters on Aldebaran, and one of its divisions participates in the Markhat Collective. The Earth U.S. Dark Space Programs also maintain an outpost on Markhat as part of the group.
The principal members of the Collective include the Akhori (from the fourth planet Akhoria), the Taal-Shiar (from Alcyone), the Kiily-Tokurt (from Vela), the Draco reptilians (from Alpha Draconis), the Hangiar (from Sigma Draconis), a Terra Dark Space Program contingent, and the Nachtwaffen.
The planetary orbit of Markhat is sealed off from the rest of the star system, with access limited to a corridor to Akhoria and a corridor to exit the system's plasma shield.
