Fiction:Kadote Scavengorum

The Kadote Scavengorum is a stratocratic military coalition of scavenging cyborgs. It is located within the outer portions of the Milky Way Galaxy. The primary and only species of the Kadote Scavengorum are the Kadotes, vaguely humanoid beings notable for being mostly mechanical. The Scavengorum is ruled by a group of military commanders known as Warlords, with a Mediator being official head of state and government but in reality being an effective puppet of the Warlords. The current capital of the Scavengorum is Kadotus.

The history of the Scavengorum is littered with tales of drama, tragedy, comedy, ingenuity and stupidity. However, the most notable event to have ever occurred to the Kadotes was a war against the Sydon Empire. The avian Sydon invaded the old homeworld of the Kadotes, and successfully invaded the planet. The remaining Kadotes were evacuated and managed to escape to their colonies. However, these too soon came under attack and the Kadotes were left stranded among the stars. They formed a new government, the Kadote Scavengorum, to unify these bands of survivors. In order to stay alive, they resorted to scavenging and piracy, looting vulnerable freighters, stealing technology from wrecks and debris, and plundering small, poorly defended worlds for food and supplies.
