Captain:Zillum

"Unstoppable...He is...unstoppable..."

- Unknown

Supreme Commander Zillum the leader of the entire Imperial Navy and is one of the most dreaded individuals in the, having first made his infamous mark on galactic politics during the early days of the.

He is however, a veteran of many other wars, such as the, the and currently, the Imperial-Quadrants Conflict. Zillum commands the Executor-class Star Dreadnought, the Executor and is the overall commander of the entire Imperial Navy, something former Republic captains begrudgingly accepted.

Early Life
Zillum's early life is clouded in history, it is known however that he wants nothing to do with it, even going so far as to kill any person that asks him about it. The first (known) traces of this mysterious character comes from the, where he emerged from the shadows along with his empire, the to aid the  against the allied forces of the.

The Trucinex coordinated with the Mortalitas in order to organize attacks upon the CSA. General Zillum was tasked with coordinating the attacks, and the first one, conducted over a known CSA trade route was deemed to be the first target. Jumping out of hyperspace, the Mortalitas warships completely surprised the two CSA destroyers and destroyed them within moments. Zillum smiled, the CSA would fear him.

He reappeared engaging the allies on Tuacio, during the. Alerted by this battle, the Imperial Captain Lizrawn and an Imperial fleet, the Mortalitas and the Imperials joined forces, but where forced to retreat, however this battle proved a symbolic victory against the allies, the Mortalitas joined the. His next major was the Battle of Caprica. Imperial intelligence reported that President Inviere and Senator Apollo were having a Presidental Debate in Caprica City. General Zillum landed near the Presidental Palace and made his way there. Zillum eventually kidnapped the two government officials, but they were soon freed by Republic forces. Meanwhile, the battle over the planet began to tilt in the favour of the Allies, which prompted Zillum to evacuate. He remained in the shadows for the duration of the war.

Intergalactic War
General Zillum was involved in many secret missions during the Intergalactic War, when the Mortalitas appeared to have disappeared from sight, causing many in the URC to worry that they have been preparing to strike against the Cyrannus Republic while they have been busy against the Cognatus Alliance.

Near the end of the war, the Galactic Emperor allied with the Cognatus, and conspired with them against the URC, however, the Galactic Emperor knew all too well that the Cognatus would not honour the alliance. In anticipation for a betrayal, he sent Zillum to try to destabilize the Cognatus, who despite being very powerful, where ignorant and boastful of their power.

Before he could act however, he was sent to the Coruannus System of the URC as part of the huge final battle, his personal mission; to find and capture President Apollo. When Zillum found Apollo, the two exchanged insults, and just as Zillum was about to make his move, Apollo shot a stun blast at him, temporarily stopping him. Angered, he took the Imperial Fleet and returned to the Empire’s space.

After the, the Imperial Alliance collapsed, horrified, he promoted the construction of the newly formed Confederacy of Allied Systems, he gained a very prominant position in this new order becoming the unofficial ruler of the Mortalitas, after Lamorta stepped down., and as soon as the Great Cyrannus War began, he went on a hunt to kill , Apollo and all those closest to them.
 * Post Intergalactic War

Officially, he was sent to invade the important Cyrandia colony of Cyranduas, however unofficially, he went to kill Cretacea's uncle who lived in a city on the planet. In a daring fit of rage, Zillum destroyed Cretacea's uncle and burned his house, just as his flagship was joined by a huge occupation fleet.

First Year of the Great War
During the early months of the, Zillum was involved in the Battle of Cyroenia. His fleet attacked the two sides of the planet with a decoy fleet keeping the Republic flagship, the Alliance busy, while the Benevolent and the main attack force battled the Republic Fleet under command of Captain Janeaó. Zillum decided to cut off the fleets commander to the battle, Janeaó and so he unleashed the Benevolent's mighty cannons and riped a hole in the Kathleen's hull, destroying it will all hands. However, the arrival of the Rambo foiled his plot to conquer the planet.

Wanting revenge, Zillum attacked a Cyrandia fleet near Monai Tvá, destroying it, killing countless enemies. He than set course for the Capital of Carindes.

Zillum met with his friend, Moravilon at the Capital and received a dangerous new mission to blockade an important URC planet, Caprica. When they arrived at Caprica with a huge invasion fleet, Zillum decided to attack Caprica City, the capital of Caprica, however upon arriving, he was ambushed by Cretacea and the Benevolent was slowly destroyed, without any means of fighting back, due to the fact that the turbolasers and engines were offline, as the Benevolent crashed into the ocean, Zillum was presumed dead.

Zillum’s last memory was of his ship being consumed by flames and then, darkness. Meanwhile, a mysterious ship approached the Benevolent’s crash site, however he was already dead. The dangerous general was finished, or was he? By some miracle, Zillum awoke as though he was awakened after a long sleep; he was on an unknown, deserted base on a mysterious ice planet with a ship with its navigation logs erased. Taking this ship he made his way toward Confederate space to be met with the greatest of surprises by Confederate officials, Zillum was now much larger, powerful and intimidating. He arrived at Nosiso, a major CAS planet which was under attack by the URC in order to command a new ship constructed at the shipyards of Nosiso, located deep within the planet. He unveiled this new ship, the Malevolent during the battle, while keeping his real identity secret, completely crushing the Cyrandia Forces and causing them to retreat. He later came to Ralfian in order to finally reveal himself to Republic forces, destroying the entire army, but not before the URC managed to send a transmission to Republic Command, informing them of the return of Zillum.
 * Return from the Dead

Second Year of the Great War
Over the past two months, High General Zillum of the Confederacy began engaging Republic forces across the Cyrannus Galaxy, leaving no trace of Republic Fleets that he attacked, nor any sign of both Zillum and his deadly new flagship, the Malevolent. Republic Intelligence however, tracked down Zillum orbiting a planet in the Outer Rim, apparently undergoing a refit. When they sent their most powerful ship, the Pride of the Core and a large fleet of URC/Rambo ships, they had no idea they were walking into a trap...

It was believed that Zillum and his flagship were alone in the system, without Confederate reinforcements, but the fleet under the command of Supreme Admiral Nagala soon found this to be false, when she saw a huge CAS fleet protecting the Malevolent. Not one for backing away from a fight, she quickly ordered her fleet to engage. The battle was fierce and even resulted in a dogfight between the Malevolent and the flagship of the entire Republic fleet, the Pride of the Core. However, Zillum was once again victorious.

Zillum however, now waited patiently for top secret coordinates regarding the location of the URC's Senate Complex, from an unknown figure within the URC's hierarchy. After receiving them he attack the planet Corunnia and beamed down to it's surface along with many Mortalitas warriors to hold the URC's senators hostage. He was successful in doing this and killed three senators, while waiting for the URC to meet his demands. However, he was forced to escape, but not before setting a huge bomb that devastated the Senate.

Zillum soon came to the planet of Ramaprica, which had just been liberated from the CAS by Cyrandia forces. Enraged, Zillum unleashed his turbolasers on the planet, turning it into an inhospitable lifeless ball.

Third Year of the Great War
After a couple of weeks of inactivity, Zillum retired to his quarters on his flagship, the Malevolent. However, just as he was contacting the Confederate Congress to inform them of the recent events in the war a glowing orb of energy appeared in front of him. The orb spoke to him in a deep, booming voice that appeared to darken the entire room, the entity revealed itself to be, Dark Lord of the Apocalypta. Zillum refused to worship him, but was granted new Apocalyptan Powers. Antediluvian left Zillum to contemplate his new powers, abilities and plans. Exiting hyperspace in the centre of Republic territory, Zillum began a series of assualts on many outlying systems. Using his flagship, the Malevolent, Zillum melted the crust of the planet Grecyar, turning it into a lifeless ball floating in space, choked with volcanic ash and roaring lava. Leading more and more attacks, he eventually landed on the planets himself, ruthlessly killing civilians, using both his new found Apocalyptan energies and his blades. Despite the fact that these atrocities were shielded from the eyes of the Confederacy's citizens, the Republic was not speared and terrifying images of Zillum's onslaught and the ongoing blockade of the Perliama Run was a huge blow to moral for the good civilians and officers of the URC. Zillum was later ambushed, however luckily for him, he escaped the destruction of the Malevolent by using an escape pod.

Zillum fled to the CAS capital planet of Carindes, where he was contacted by Admiral Tyrant who informed him of an approaching fleet. A massive Grox fleet, unlike any ever seen approached the planet, where a massive battle raged. Zillum himself was ambushed by the twisted, who engaged him in a duel to the death. The duel was fierce, though Zillum was victorious, decapitating the Marinox. However, he was badly injured. Nevertheless, he began the final preparations. Zillum then met with Chancellor Dasá and the mysterious figure,. He was commanded to invade the Republic's capital of and was told that a New Order was about to dawn. Taking the largest Confederate fleet ever seen, Zillum arrived at Orbispira and a massive battle broke out. Zillum meanwhile went to the surface, where he was almost successful in killing his arch-nemesis,. However, he was foiled by the unusual powers of Apollo's daughter, Kara.

Returning to his flagship, Zillum saw that gradually, the Republic was winning and was ordered to return to a secret rendezvous point. However, the Confederate fleet stayed, only to be defeated by a united fleet of Capricornians. This fleet was revealed to be under the command of Antediluvian, who landed and formed the, declaring Apollo a traitor.

First Year
Zillum returned to the secret rendezvous point, where he met with his ally and the other leaders of the Confederacy. However, the Apocalyptan acolyte, arrived and began to murder the leaders, one by one. However, Tyrant and Zillum were spared this fate and willingly joined Antediluvian's new Empire. Zillum was promoted to be the Supreme Commander of the Imperial Navy, effectively making him the leader of the Empire's naval forces. In the third month into Imperial rule, Zillum was given his new flagship, the Exactor, an and was tasked with the invasion of the. When he entered the wormhole over, he arrived over the Rambo Capital, where a large Rambo fleet was stationed. When the battle ended, both sides faced heavy causalities, though the Empire was ultimately victorious. As he prepared for a land invasion, he frowned, knowing that most of the Rambo Fleet was away from the Capital at the time meaning that the battle is far from over, and it certainly wouldn't be an easy fight. Eventually, as the battle drove on, the Empire pushed Rambo the city of Tirithsilliana, home of the Rambo Royal Family. Bringing along former Confederate Governor, Zillum and managed to defeat the Rambo Military on the Capital, after a fierce fight. Zillum, Garlboz and Nirndal eventually landed on a platform on the Rambo Capital Planet, where he confronted Empress Ramashe, asking her for her surrender. Ramashe saw that she had no other choice, and met with Antediluvian, signing the Nim-Glaré Concordat, the surrender of Rambo Nation. However, Zillum was pleased to learn that the war with the Rambo was far from over, with the majority of the Rambo military forces still loyal to the Nation. However, unfortunately for Zillum within a month, most of the Rambo military eventually joined with the Empire. However, he knew that some still support the old ways, preparing his flagship for battle soon.

Second Year
When the rest of the year 01 NE passed without conflict, Zillum began to grow bored at the lack of fighting in the. However, he was soon called to back in Cyrannus, where he was awarded the newest flagship of the Imperial Navy, the Executor, a massive thirty kilometre long Star Dreadnought that can crush nearly all potential enemies. Pleased, he took the Executor back to the Quadrant Galaxies, where the Emperor had a fiendish mission for him to secure the Quadrants under Imperial rule. Zillum decided to attack the planet of Tigma IV, quickly crushing the defence fleet in orbit and proceeding to bombard the planet from orbit. As a final insult to Hutter investigators, and in the hopes that they would cease their attacks, Zillum carved the Imperial Insignia in Tigma IV's surface. Overall, billions of innocent lives were taken that day by the evil Mortalitas.

Third Year
Zillum continued his campaigns in the Quadrant Galaxies in the third year of Imperial rule. During the first month of the year, Zillum contacted the famed bounty hunter and commanded him to assassinate the wife of his arch-enemy,. Despite taking over four weeks, Gauisa was successful, killing Gianne with a single shot. Zillum was pleased and hoped that his new tactic of destroying Apollo emotionally would be more successful than destroying him physically.

Personality and Traits
General Zillum is a cold and merciless Mortalitas with absolutely no mercy toward his adverseries, especially since his supposed death at the Battle of Caprica during the Great Cyrannus War's first year. When he mysteriously returned in a brand new body, his fighting prowess was greatly enhanced and he became one of the most proficient swordsmen in the entire universe, not to mention the Cyrannus Galaxy. Since his revival, he has been labelled by some of the most senior Cyrandia officials as an unstoppable force of nature, who was certainly not affraid of brutal tactics to achieve his goals.

Despite what Cyrandian Propaganda would have the public believe, Zillum is a highly intelligent skilled tactician, who often employs the use of choatic and random battle strategies in order to confuse his enemies, these are actually carefully calculated in order to ensure his constant upperhand in battle. However, despite his brutal tactics, Zillum never underestemates the enemy and is a master of military tactics, carefully studing an enemies known tactics and exploiting weaknesses before the battle could even begin.
