Nordera
The Nordera are a primitive, war-like race which are used as battle thralls by the Hertak in the Wings of Dawn universe. They serve as antagonists in the first Wings of Dawn campaign.
History
The Nordera had barely entered the industrial age when the Hertak visited their homeworld. The Hertak saw that this race of simple minded but physical strong warriors could very well turn into excellent battle thralls. So they gave a show of force, united all Nordera tribes on the planet and promised them endless glory and opponents to fight. They then helped them get into space and gave them control over several planets in different systems. In return they gained an army of utterly fearless warriors that will obey their every command when properly motivated.
The Nordera have little in the terms of culture or tradition and it is likely that they will decent back into a savage state should the Hertak ever decide to abandon them.
