Zotadax

Zotadax is a Dermuth notorious for his crusades of violence across the Milky Way galaxy.

Early Life
Zotadax was born in Protodermu as a simple denizen. He learned of strategy and conquest from the other species that would come to the planet during the late Age of Knowledge. When he discovered an Eon Dreadnought in a forgotten place of the sea, he claimed it for himself and used it for travel.

He used the Eon Dreadnought to convince the Ukota that he was a God. With an army secured he began the great terror known as the Age of Strife.

First Conquests
At approximately 1,000 AD Zotadax had found the Ukota, a warrior race of grey skinned humanoids who swore loyalty to him.

With the Eon Dreadnaught, Zotadax and the Ukota first settled on worlds absent of intelligent life. Instead they opted to increase their weapons and numbers to establish an interplanetary foundation and to increase their moral.

They found a apish species named the Brutus (Amais-dae) who served as preachers of the “divine will” that guided Zotadax’s empire. If a Brutun was not clergy, then they were shock troopers whose savagery rivaled the Ukota and their new allies, the Scourge

Formerly the Pau Kamori, the Scourge provided the empire with advanced plasma weapons and machinery, often stolen from weaker races, in exchange for raw materials and protection along their trade routes.

Corvernum were a mysterious avian race who solely worked as leaders and participants in special operations.

Theta Draconians, or in their language, the Ihk-Lorkhar, sent their augmented solders in return for control of territory they captured.

For three hundred Terrain years Zotadak’s influence influence across the galaxy was unmatched. But one fateful day, his ecumene unraveled under its own weight.

The Scourge Trade Routes collapsed, the Ihk withdrew into their stable territories, the Brutun were in schism, the Corvernum vanished, and the Ukota were back where they began; a sapient warrior race trapped on a lonely planet.
