The image for the Okkar homeworld in the codex.

The Okkar are one of many Factions or species in the Everspace universe. They are automatically hostile towards the player, and are encountered them in almost every sector and zone naturally.

If the player spends too much time in a sector, waves of Okkar ships will jump in and attempt to destroy the player, culminating in Colonial Warships jumping in. The waves of Okkar are usually very difficult to defeat without additional help, especially early-game.

Okkar Ships

There are several types of Okkar ships. They can be identified from a distance by their blue trails.

All current images are concept art placeholders. Some information needs to be confirmed.

Image	Type	Description	Equipment/Abilities	Hull HP	Shield HP	Can be Elite?
	Fighter	Okkar Fighters are average fighter class ships.	Mk1: Pulse Laser Mk2:Fusion Blaster, Front Shield Generator Mk3: Thermo Gun	Mk1: 60 Mk2: 100 Mk3: 150	Mk1: 130 Mk2: 160 Mk3: 210
	Swarm Fighter	Okkar Swarm Fighters are fairly weak ships, but travel in groups of 5.				X
	Interceptor	Okkar Interceptors are a heavily-shielded light-fighter class, with abilities and strengths similar to the Colonial Scout.	-Cloak	120	150	?
	Drone	Okkar drones are small, weak enemies.	Mk1: Beam Laser Mk2:Beam Laser M3	Mk1: 10 Mk2: 60	Mk1: 0 Mk2: 130	X
File:Okkar-Scan-Drone.jpg	Scan Drone	Okkar Scan Drones cause the same effect as when your sensors are damaged. Similar to webber drones.	-No weapons	30	80	X
	Shield Charge Drone	Okkar Shield Charge Drones function the same as Shield Charge Drones for the player, and are often only found around corvettes.	-Charges shields of Okkar ships	30	0	X
File:800px-Everspace-Alien-Gunship.jpg	Corvette	Okkar Corvettes are medium-sized ships, a little larger than a Trader.	-Occasionally spawns with a jump suppressor -Mk2: Has an attack similar to the Neutron Cannon -Spawns Shield Charge Drones or ARC-9000. 5 laser turrets	Mk1: 1200 Mk2: 1600	Mk1: 800 Mk2: 1200
	Frigate	Okkar Frigates are very large capital ships. They do not have shields, but also have individual turrets and energy cores that the player can destroy, which also damages the overall hull. The energy cores power the frigates powerful 'energy ball' attack, which centers around the player and charges for a second or two . When destroyed, the wreck does not disappear, instead slowly breaking apart and exploding in places. Loot is spread around in gaps inside the wreck or outside of it.	-No shields -Occasionally has a jump suppressor -Okkar laser turrets -Energy cores which power the powerful 'energy ball' attack		0	X

Lore, In the Codex...

The Okkar Fleet:

[[File:]] The Okkar Fleet manufactures its own ships, weaponry, and mining equipment without the aid of independent contractors. Private corporations do not exist in their society, the concept of capitalism was unknown until the arrival of Colonials in the 30th Century. Nonetheless, this has not prevented Okkar technology developing on par to human advancement, although distinctively different in design and function. Experts put the origins of Okkar space exploration and technological development at some one thousand solar years before humans.

As a faction/race:

[[File:]] The Okkar are a reptilian race inhabiting several systems in Cluster 34. A bipedal, lizard-like species, they evolved from their dry desert homeworld and spread some millennia ago to neighbouring planets. They are a secretive race, telepathic to a limited degree, and have a natural aversion to water. Not known for ambitious expansionism, they are generally peaceful and inward-looking, although violently reactive to new influences from beyond their own worlds. The arrival of the Colonials in the early 31st century triggered a panic which led to a devastating conflict. A long life-span (up to 250 Sol years) and stable social conditions have allowed for significant development of technologies and culture on a par to human advancement. In the course of Colonial expansion, the Okkar are the first encountered alien race to be equally matched in strength and sophistication.

Colonial-Okkar War:

[[File:]] With the first arrival of Colonial mining interests in 3022 (C.E. Sol), the Okkar experienced a dramatic shift in how they perceived their relation to the galaxy, and how other civilizations could potentially encroach upon their homeworlds. The subsequent arrival of the Colonial Fleet and establishment of jumpgates escalated tensions in the Cluster which eventually triggered all-out warfare between the species. Equally matched in strength and sophistication, the Okkar held their ground against the Colonials to devastating effect. A ceasefire was brokered out of necessity as there was no clear projected victor. The demilitarized zone was established as part of the subsequent peace treaty, delineating new limits of each of the species' territories, which the Okkar were given the right to administer.

Okkar Homeworld

[[File:]] The Okkar homeworlds are a collection of nine inhabited desert planets on the outer edges of the Beltegrade Cluster. The Colonial diplomatic missions which arrived there in the mid-31st century are the only humans known to have visited and formed the bulk of knowledge on their location, culture, and appearance. The planets are sacred to the Okkar and are shielded from long-range sensors. Okkar are secretive about their customs and generally suspicious of all other species, although some interesting facts have been ascertained. Okkar society is organized in a strict hierarchical structure in which roles, whether servant, warrior or cleric, are established by birth. The exact origin of the species are still unknown and there is growing debate as to whether the Okkar might be derived from a superior species beyond their domain. Seemingly incongruous writing and belief structures support this hypothesis. The Okkar homeworlds are powered and sustained by a mysterious energy source referred to as Viridian energy. While some experiments have been conducted on this energy source, no Colonial research has been able to stabilize it to date. Further research into the field of study, however, has been prohibited by a stipulation in the peace treaty which was insisted upon by the Okkar.
