The Melitaka are a rigid, nomadic warrior race, like the Kzinti and Lyrans, composed of an Emperor/Empress and various nobles, who lead fairly large tribes of around a few tens of millions of people each, who have long been Starfarers, but slow to Advanced in Technology, sending out Multi-Generational -2Xl ships in the 14th-15th Century AD, then developing Warp Drive and reaching -1X in 1543, then gradually advancing to 0Xe in 1781, then hurriedly (by their slow standards), upgrading to 0Xs in a mad attempt to defend against their more imperialistic neighbors in 1937, and upgrading further to 0Xl in 1974, where they have almost always remained.
They are sometimes willing to be friendly and trade, but far more often, they will have small conflicts with neighboring powers at the border regions, and although there have been two small civil wars between a few of the Tribes, the Melitaka have had surprisingly few of them compared to the Kzinti.
