The Dar'aa Shap Halaat, which translates as Hunters who speak the Shap Halaat language, often called Dar or Hunters, were a sentient species hailing from a homeworld long since destroyed by the aggressive Daahk. In revenge for this misdeed, the Dar crafted weapons based on their own unique technology, and pledged themselves to destroy the Daahk. After many millennia, the Dar became the hunters, and the Galaxy was safe—at least from the Daahk.
