Khas people

The Khas (खस) / Khasas or Khɒsiyas is a community of people, who were the mountain dwellers living in the southern shadow of the Himalayan range of the Indian Subcontinent from Jammu & Kashmir to Bhutan in the present day countries of Pakistan(in Gilgit Baltistan), India (in the states of Jammu & Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Sikkim, and the Darjeeling in West Bengal), Nepal, and Bhutan. Khas people in modern Nepal will not identify themselves as Khas, instead referring to themselves by the ethnic or caste identity.

According to 2011 census of Nepal, about 40% of total population are Khas.

The Khasas were a warlike tribe who built three capitals over time: Taklakot in Tibet, and Sinja and Dullu in Nepal. From the 11th century, their powerful kingdom, known as the Khas Empire /Malla Empire (not related to the Malla Kingdoms of the Kathmandu Valley), grew, covering much of west Nepal, Ladakh, Kashmir and western Tibet. As the empire fell apart during the 14th century, many of the ruling families migrated throughout Nepal.

Characters of StarCraft

Major and recurring characters from the military science fiction series StarCraft are listed below, organised by respective species and most commonly affiliated faction within the fictional universe. The story of the StarCraft series revolves around interstellar affairs in a distant sector of the galaxy, where three species are vying for supremacy: the Terrans, a highly factionalised future version of humanity, the Protoss, a theocratic race of vast psionic ability; and the Zerg, an insectoid species commanded by a hive mind persona. The latter two of these species were genetically engineered by the Xel'Naga, a fourth species believed extinct. The series was begun with Blizzard Entertainment's 1998 video game StarCraft, and has been expanded with sequels Insurrection, Retribution, Brood War, Ghost, Wings of Liberty, Heart of the Swarm, and Legacy of the Void. The franchise has been further extended with a series of novels, graphic novels and other works.
