The Porquatians really punched way above their weight a few years ago, at one time they were pitted against all three Central Powers and were holding their own. Of course now their fleet has been wiped out and the planet is occupied by the DDS so they didn't hold their own for long...
The peace of the end of the Third Clone War was shattered when the aggressive Porquatians launched an attempt to defeat the Aritans and dominate the Rim Worlds. Possessing a small but powerful fleet, augmented by Utrek finance and technology, the Porquatians quickly defeated the Aritans and were posed to invade. The DDS led a tri-partite force with the Dinos and HCS to oppose the Porquatian aggression. The three Central Powers were nearly drawn into a war between themselves when the first battle ended in a fiasco, later attributed to Rectoid interference. Its now thought the Rectoids were in control of certain members of the Porquat 640 government and wanted to weaken the Central Powers for their own ends.
The war ended disasterously for the Porquatians, 98% of their fleet was destroyed and the DDS defeated them with their new biogenic weapons that destroyed crops on one of the continents on Porquat 640. Now the Porquatians are under control of the DDS but it is a difficult task for the occupiers with frequent insurgency being a drain on DDS manpower and finance, its thought the DDS will soon withdraw their forces.
The Porquatians are rather unpleasant, aggressive and xenophobic but are also brave fighters and innovative. Their Quagan and Xian warships were an unpleasant surprise to the DDS, having the edge for a time. In fact the DDS think that alone they would have struggled to defeat the Porquatians, only with the Dino help was success assured. If they could be bought into the DDS fold they would be a very useful ally...
