Supahbadmarine: Zilkene: The Xilkene are a race with an extrmely minor empire. The Zilkene have no great armies to do battle with. Instead the Zilkene have made their mark on the galaxy by being savvy traders. The Zilkene have trade agreements with numerous other races. Their small empire has become something of a hub for inter-species trade, allowing factions that usually would not have anything to do with one another to have an exchange. As the Zilkene have no standing military, they often ask for aid from their trade partners when they are threatened, though some powerful Trade masters have personal armies of mercenaries. The Zilkene are one of the Xenos that the Imperium does not bother, This is because the Ordo Xenos has deemed that the Zilkene pose no threat, and because the Imperium trades with the Zilkene via Rogue Traders.| I am not sure whether I will use this idea. If you want it then ask, and I will make up my mind.
