Captain:Zillum

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

- Unknown

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 Trucinex War, where he emerged from the shadows along with his empire, the Mortalitas Empire to aid the Trucinex against the allied forces. The Nex Prophet realised that he would also need allies in order to turn the tide. His research led him the an empire known as the Mortalitas, whom after a defeat by the CSA, were colonising the galaxy near Trucinex space. A Trucinex Captain was sent to make contact with this new empire. The captain was located by an individual known as Zillum, a towering individual who had an air of authority, the two discussed for a long time, and eventually an alliance was formed.

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 Second Galactic War. 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 Imperial Alliance!

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. He encountered members of the Caprica City Police which he destroyed easily. He found Apollo and the President and escorted them abroad the Benevolent in orbit. The Benevelent was being attacked by the Caprica Home Fleet and the Fleet of Retribution which jumped in near the orbit of Caprica's Moon of Lunasa. However another Imperial Fleet, numbering in the hundreds began firing on the Alliance Fleet. The battle was far from over.

As Aur'Lodin's, the Imperial Regent who later killed the Emperor, massive fleet arrived, under command of the Lusankya they immediatly opened fire at the Fleet of Retribution. Taken by surprise, Aur'Lodin managed to get her fleet between the FoR and Zillom his fleet, this meant the Benevolent could not be attacked and the FoR first had to break through the Imperial massive fleet.

As Aur'Lodin ordered Captain Trentucula to take the Lusankya and attack the CSA Super Star Destroyer stationed at Caprica, happily he follwed his order and escorted by Imperial ships the two Super Star Destroyers clashed and both ships took damage. All the while, the USS Hood flew threw the Imperial ranks but was unable to reach the Benevolent to save the President and Senator Apollo.

Shortly later, the Imperial Fleet managed to hold her blockade and the FoR was unable to break the blockade and regrouped near the moon of Lunasa to plan a new course of attack. And it had to be done quickly, as the Lusankya approached the CSA Capitol and prepared to bombard the planet. Upon the Lusankya her withdrawel from the front lines, the Imperial ships under command of the Benevolent began to advance and reopened fire at the Allied Fleet. The Allied forces we're doing well against the Imperial Fleet late in the battle with the loss of the Super Star Dreadnought. However the Benevolent under the command of General Zillom was putting up a fierce fight in orbit. It was then that Admiral Cretaceous and Rambas II arrived aboard the CSS Independence. The Admiral landed near a prison where the president and senator Apollo were being held. He was met with resistance in the form of Imperial troops and walkers. After battling the Imperials he moved to the prison and freed Inviere and Apollo. He escorted them to the Independence in orbit where the Allied Fleet was mopping up of what was left of the Imperial Fleet. The Benevolent however fleed the system. The Admiral however decided to hunt down the ship and bring Zillom to justice, a vow which has yet to be fulfilled.

General Zillum remained quiet for the rest of the war, with the exception of a test run with a new superweapon...

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 Intergalactic War, 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 Cretacea, Apollo and all those closest to them. 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.
 * Post Intergalactic War

Great Cyrannus War
The Shipyards of Cyroenia are the most important shipyards in the URC, a gigantic ring-world surrounds one of the most important planets in the Republic, every month hundreds of ships, both large and small are constructed at this vast construct. However, the Confederacy decided to that this opportunity to deal a crippling blow to the URC's shipbuilding capabilities, giving the war a swift and decisive end in the favor of the Confederacy. Still, the planet has a gigantic fleet under the command of Fleet Admiral Neveu of the Mandator-class Dreadnought, Alliance and many other captains, such as Captain Janeaó of the Victory-class, Kathleen. This would be a difficult battle to win, and yet Confederate Fleet Command decided that it was a risk worth taking.
 * Year One of the Great Cyrannus War



A large fleet of Confederate ships entered the system, under the command of the famed Mortalitas General, Zillum of the Benevolent. The fleet attacked the two sides of the planet with a decoy fleet keeping the Alliance busy, while the Benevolent and the main attack force battled the Republic Fleet under command of Captain Janeaó, however, the situation was not looking good for the Kathleen. General 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, a very famous admiral was about to show himself.

Fleet Admiral Cretacea, the URC's most prominent captain was sent to Cyreonia in order to aid the allied forces against General Zillum, his arch nemesis, he arrived with a fleet of five star destroyers and six escort frigates, hoping to break the blockade. General Zillum laughed at Cretacea's attempt to break his impenetrable fleet! However, Cretacea had no intention of breaking the blockade by himself....

The Avenger raised full forward shields and opened a volley of turbolaser fire at the massive Mortalitas Dreadnought, he was not going to make the same mistake the Kathleen did. However, the Benevolent was more powerful then Admiral Cretacea's flagship and open fire on its bridge, Zillum was determined to finish off Cretacea once and for all. Then all of a sudden, warp signatures were detected. Impossible! Yelled Zillum as Rambo ships engaged the Confederacy, under the command of Vice Admiral Rambas II... Cretacea's trap was sprung!

Vice Admiral Rambas II led the nearly refurbished Rambo Task Force of the Fleet of Retribution, it was now made up with several regular Rambo ships followed up by special Krakana-class Refits, a truly powerful force. However, Zillum is a very intelligent officer and as soon as he saw the Rambo Fleet he called for reinforcements from an old friend. This battle was far from over.

Vice-Admiral Rambas II of Rambo Nation was pleased, his timely arrival and Cretacea's plan worked, cornering the Confederacy and intercepting the Benevolent, Confederate General Zillum was soon to be captured. Within 3 hours the combined fleet of URC and Rambo ships pushed back the Confederacy and secured the massive ring around the world. Rambas and Cretacea contacted eachother, to discuss further plans when more Confederate ships arrived.

Under command of the Admiral Lizaconda onboard the Liberty II the reinforcements jumped in between Zillum and Cretacea/Rambas II forces. Taken by surprise, the USS Caprica took heavy damage and a nearby Kelvin Class was destroyed in an instance. Meanwhile the Avanger pushed through the Confederate reinforcements, to catch the Benevolent, but that seemed in vain as the Benevolent was turning around and opened fire at the Avenger herself, lightly damaging her. Rambas looked at his tactical screen and was displeased, the tide of battle was in favor of the Cyrandia forces, but now taken by surprise Lizaconda managed to turn the tide. However, the Cyrandia forces now had a stand off. Lizconda, onboard the Liberty II looked grim, Zillum had wasted his oppertunity to destroy the shipyards, instead he awaited the arrival of Cretacea and is plan failed. Lizaconda nodded towards his crew, and the Liberty II and escorting ships advanced toward the massive ring and re-opened fire. Seemingly an attack, Lizaconda used this attack to retreat from Cyroenia, the battle was lost but Lizaconda and Zillum would not give up without saying goodbye!

Advancing towards the Cyrandia fleet the USS Caprica targeted the Liberty II and the Avenger the Benevolent, the battle was intense, with both sides taking heavy casualties (the Cyrandia lost over 65% of there ships, the Confederacy only 45%) and the shipyards were damaged too. As of sudden, the Confederacy left Cyroenia and the remaining Cyrandia forces celebrated. Yet, both Cretacea and Rambas could only wondered why the Confederacy had left, perhaps conquering was not there plan and the battle was just a diversion? General Zillum was troubled, his recent defeat at the hands of the Cyrandia nations angered him deeply. He wanted revenge. Near the planet Monai Tvá, Zillum brought a small Confederate fleet to surprise attack a Cyrandia convoy, of URC Venator-class and Victory-class and Rambo Sovereign-class and Phoenix-class. At first, some Munificus-class Frigates buckled and vanished in a cloud of fire and debris, but with the Benevolents arrival, things began to change, the gigantic ship cut through enemy ships like a warm knife through butter.

Meanwhile, Zillum erected an interdictor field across the battle, preventing the ships going to Warp or Hyperspace. This was a battle to the death. Within two hours, the allied fleet was in ruins, countless Cyrandia bodies floated in the void of space, as Zillum smiled, sat on his chair and ordered the ship to plot an FTL jump to the Confederate Capital for a new mission...

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 is 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

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...
 * Year Two of the Great Cyrannus War

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 URC Star Destroyers would attempt to engage the Capital Ships, the Rambo ships would attempt to destroy the frigates, while Nagala herself in the Pride of the Core would personally destroy the Malevolent. However, during the battle three massive Grox Cubes, filled with Marinox and Dronox cyborgs entered the fray, destroying many ships in the opening stages of their attack. However, the Malevolent made short work of one cube, using its advanced turbolasers to cut a hole deep in the Cube's hull, disabling it. Meanwhile, the Pride of the Core used the Grox attack as a distraction and began to broadside against the Maleovolent. The two titanic ships battled, both sustaining heavy damage, though it was the Pride of the Core that wasn't faring as well in combat.

While the two superships battled one another, Cyrandia ships coordinated an attack on a Grox Cube, and after a heavy firefight, managed to destroy it. The third cube however, escaped, retreating under heavy CAS fire. However, the CAS forces began to dwindle, despite the Malevolents upperhand against the Pride of the Core. It was now that Zillum decided to show his weapon that made his ship so deadly... the super ion cannon. He pointed it directly at the Cyrandia Fleet, and fired. By the time the ship captains understood what had happened, their ships exploded under the heavy fire of Zillum's turbolasers. Nagala, with a heavy heart ordered a retreat. Zillum had won this round.

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.

The planet Ramaprica was under Confederate control, and the Unidentified Serindia captain ventured down to its surface to walk the famous streets to unlock the secrets of the this important Cyrandia colony. However, he was soon summoned back to his ship, when his communication specialist reported that a high autority would be visiting the planet within a matter of hours, the Serindia captain was pleased, surely the Congress would reward him for conquering one the most important worlds of the Cyrandia Alliance.

However, within a matter of minutes before reaching his ship, a massive Cyrandia fleet made up of URC Star Destroyers, Rambo star ships and a variety of other more unique Cyrandia craft emerged from warp and hyperspace. The Confederate fleet quickly sped into action, and several Munificus-class Frigates managed to cripple two Rambo ships and three URC corvettes, while the CAS destroyers were busy battling the Star Destroyers of the URC. However, it became apparent that the Cyrandia would win this battle. However, just when the ground forces began to evacuate off the planet's surface, a massive ship emerged from Hyperspace... the Malevolent, under the command of Zillum! Speeding past the Cyrandia fleet and the CAS navy, the ''Malevolent approached the planet's surface, before hovering high above its capital city. The citizens below looked into the sky, just as the massive warship unleashed its turbolasers on the planet below. Within a few minutes, the water turned to lava, and massive earthquakes and volcanos erupted across the planet, however, by the time the Malvolent was finished, Ramaprica was a lifeless ball.

Before the allied fleet could attack the Malevolent, it escaped as well as the rest of the Confederate fleet, leaving the Cyrandia with a cold, dead, lifeless planet, once known as Ramaprica.

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.
 * Year Three of the Great Cyrannus War

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.
