| - Although the Hiigarans were able to piece together much of their former history on their homeworld, their earliest history appears to have been lost. Amongst these lost histories is the founding of the first Hiigaran Navy. The first notable use of this force was the general uprising against the Bentusi during the First Time, and the subsequent conflicts with the Taiidan. With the discovery of the Second Hyperspace Core, the Hiigaran Navy was deployed on a massed raid deep into Taiidani space, a raid which saw the destruction of the Taiidan Imperial Palace and the Taiidan homeworld's defence fleet. The Galactic Councils' response was surprisingly swift, with the Hiigarans being ordered to hand over the core to the Bentusi. The Hiigrarans however, seemingly submitting, instead launched a surprise assault upon the Bentusi. In the long, bloody battle that followed, the Hiigaran Navy lay in ruins, and was unable to defend against the Taiidan retaliation soon after, which would eventually result in the exile of the entire Hiigaran race.
