Holdian related species

There  are four possibly more related sentient species related to the Holdians.

These four known species all share common DNA and are believed the result of the early Holdian expansion [1] About 10,000 years agio, the Holdian sent out Ark type ships to create new colonies.

Unlike the Second Exodus, a similar event in the history of Earth , the Holdian Ark ships left with unknown destinations and completley on their own (no FTL communication was available to the Holdian Colonists) They simply left with Hyperjump ships with the intend to colonize whatever world they would find and that was suitable.

Of the 30,000 Holdian Ark ships, only sixteen are known to have reached such worlds (The Sixteen Holdian Colonies ) and have been reunited with the Holdian home world.

The Daoine and the Dolbran have been discovered by the Holdians only about 500 years ago. Simiarities in their  DNA and their local stories that they evolved from colonists gave rise to the generally accepted theory that they have evolved from orginal Holduan colonists.

The very recently discovered Norak also have Holdian DNA patterns.
