Fiction:United Bygorian Ascendancy

"Rise, Bygorians! Today, our race, shall take what is ours by right! The Galaxy will be ours!"

- Lord-Ascendant Kradik

The United Bygorian Ascendancy it the first united government of the Bygorians in many centuries. Formed by the mysterious and titanic Lord, and forged into from a divided, corrupted government with little law or order, The Ascendancy, in just a matter of days, has secured a position of power unseen among the race that rules it.

Made up of the Zarbanian expedition forces that where sent by, Kradik's own race, the s, and the new races that they annex, the Ascendancy secretly plots to make war against the main government of Cyrannus, the , seeing the galaxy is theirs by right, and fueled by Kradik's mysterious lust to see the empire burn.

Formation
The United Bygorian Ascendancy is the brain child of Kradik, an ambitious young Bygorian who was exiled after a coup staged by the former Captain of the Royal Family Ancreest. During this rebellion, the rebel leaders paid Ancreest to kill the royal family, including Kradik, in exchange for being made Emperor. Ancreest did more then that, however, and had the rebel leaders killed as well, so no one could threaten his power base. Kradik, however, survived, and was tossed aside into the Mirus, merely a forgotten legend called "The Broken Warrior". Found by, and saved by their ruler, Lord , Kradik would plan his revenge for many years, before returning to Cyrannus during the Gigaquadrantic Conflicts, and the First Cyrannian War.

After manipulating the rebels, those loyal to the old royals, and the imperium, Ancreest's followers, he finally invaded, and sized control, placing corrupt officials, and Ancreest himself, under arrest. With that done, he went about reworking the old, emaciated corpse of the empire, slowly turning it around, until, after several weeks of work, it could be considered a true power.

Kradik, fearing the worst, staged as though his forces had left the Zarbanians. Really, the 2 remained secrete allies, though would keep the appearance of being apathetic, so the Bygorians would not be seen as exceeding any colonial limits. Kradik himself then mobilized his forces for war against one target, the biggest target; The Galactic Empire of Cyrannus.

Culture
The Ascendancy is a cosmopolitan society, with no defined culture, per say. Indeed, each sector, similar to the Zarbanian Powers that spawned it, are as different as the planets they inhabit. They have mixed many Zarbanian traditions with their own, including believe in the Zarbanian gods, as well as their own, really the 13th tribe, and believe in the Creed, a unifying force in their empire. They see Kradik as divinely chosen, and would do anything for him, seeing him as a savior.

Government
The Ascendancy is ruled by Lord-Ascendant Kradik, who yields almost absolute power. However, below him, are a series of beings chosen by him for competence, called the High Lords of Bygore, and below them, various government officials and members of the Kluncker families of the Deutzalanian, and the Scimat'akarian and Bygorian Clans, which, especially the latter, have much power.

Kradik may make laws, or the council, but the other must approve them, the council, by a majority, and Kradik, on his own views.

Religion
The Bygorians, while not zealots, keep an active religion going, dedicated to the 13th Tribe, and mixed with the Pantheon of Aensire, the gods worshipped in Zarbanians, with many of them sharing similarities. This religion focuses on martial pride, honor, and personal integrity. Strangely, both religions feature a being known as the Scorner, or Verachet, as their central goddess, despite being from 2 different galaxies, and having no contact other then Lord Kradik, who was not there when the Zarbanians developed their religion.
 * Main Link

They worship the artifacts of the gods left behind, and only the most honored, called "Grey Seers", may touch and handle such artifacts.

Individuals
Kradik= "The Armored Titan is among you. Bow now."

Kradik is the founder and first leader of the United Bygorian Ascendancy. An illegitimate son of the last Emperor, Kradik would be caste out by the traitor Ancreest, and left to die in the Mirus, before being rescued by his future comrade and brother,. The 2 would become close friends, and save each other many times.
 * Name -
 * Species - Bygorian
 * Position - Ultimate Leader

Ultimately, Kradik would return, and reveal his monstrous form was not permanent, but rather a state he could somehow leave and regain at will. Kradik, after casting out Ancreest and several corrupt politicians, would finally reunite his race, though had to make it appear he had split from the Powers, something he hated doing, as he would not be able to contact his friend, Gridlock, for advice and support.

Kradik cares deeply for the soldiers and civilians at his command. While he comes across as brutal and monstrous, Kradik fights for his troops' lives, and leads them from the front at all times. Kradik is an expert in mathematics and science, having designed man of the buildings and weapons used by the Powers and the Ascendancy today.

Kul'Talis= "My blades are sharp, my mind is ready, my body is prepped. For war!"

Kul'Talis is a Bygorian Warrior who left the Imperium long ago to seek out the legendary Kradik for assistance in unification. While temporarily killed, he was resurrected, and has served loyally ever since. Making himself the perfect soldier, Kul'talis would become one of the Powers' most feared warriors, never using guns or ranged weapons, preferring 2 short, throwing blades.
 * Name -
 * Species - Bygorian
 * Position - Military Commander, Troubadour of Special forces

Kul would travel with Lord Kradik, and help oversee the infiltration of the Empire, before unification finally happened. However, it left him questioning a lot of things about his master, such has how could he achieve such power and size. However, for his years of service, Kul'talis was awarded with the title Troubadour, putting him in charge of the Ascendant Fleet.

Kul'talis is a loyal and strong warrior, sharpening his skills over years of combat against all sorts of foes. Similar to Kradik in many respects, he seems to care for his troops lives, though this may simply be him trying emulate lord Kradik.

Skeeni= "The Gods have heard my prayers. Lord Kradik is their messenger, and I am his."

Skeeni is the former leader of the Royal Army that rebelled against the Bygorian Imperium, and now one of the Ascendancy's highest figures. A young soldier, originally going for a civil service job, Skeeni's brother tried to convince him to join a rebellion against the current ruler, Ancreest. Skeeni calmly refused, saying there where other ways to resist the tyrant then with violence. However, right after he took his civil service exams, he was informed his brother was killed mercilessly by Ancreest, without even a trail. His parents where put under surveillance, and Skeeni became paranoid the government was after his family. This was proven correct when his father and mother died during vacation, and he was not even told the cause of death. Growing tired of Ancreest's lies, and knowing he was next on the hit list, Skeeni disappeared, along with many of his brother's friends, and reappeared at the end of the leading rebel movement. How he became leader is unknown, but he quickly began making moves against the Imperium.
 * Name - Skeeni
 * Species - Bygorian
 * Postion - Military and political advisor, Troubadour of Military forces.

Skeeni was later approached by a being, claiming to be Kradik's agent, but later revealed to be Kradik himself, and agreed to join an Alliance with the Zarbania Powers. Later, after arriving at the homeworld of Bygore Major, Skeeni and his commanders joined Kradik's agent, as well as Kul'talis, to begin discussions with the Imperium of a unification backed by the Zarbania Powers. However, Kradik revealed his true identity, and revealed he was the last member of the royal family. Shocked, Skeeni and his men swore loyalty to him and his forces, and Ancreest, was arrested. Afterward, Skeeni would help put down any dissident forces against Kradik. For this, Skeeni gained the title Troubadour, putting him in charge of the Ascendancy Legion.

Skeeni cares deeply for his people, and worked hard to see them united against under 1 ruler. However, he quickly grew disillusioned by the near-eternal war the Bygorians found themselves in, and began to lose his faith in the gods as his soldiers, and the Imperium's, acted more savagely in battle. However with Kradik's return, his faith has been resotred, and he is ready to follow every one of Kradik's commands.

Armik Vun Arleburg= "I am here to serve, with my mind and body."


 * Name - Armik Vun Arleburg
 * Species - Deutzalanian
 * Position - Troubadour of Diplomacy, High Chancellor

Kamal= "Your mind is a weak thing."

For Kradik, the Bachyeon known as Kamal is more then simply a special forces leader or a mighty essence user through which he can strike down his foes. He is a son of sorts that Kradik took to raising. For their Century project, the Zabarnians sought out enemies to think like their foes so they could defeat them easier. These special forces where enhanced, so when they and their legions of followers took to the field, they could decimate their original race. But for Kamal, being part of the mythical, and feared, Leviathan Hive-mind was something no member of High Command wanted to see. To them, he was an aberrant, to be killed and excommunicated. But Gridlock, ruler of the Zarbanians, saw potential in this mutate. After being enhanced to legendary degrees, Gridlock sent him to Kradik's personal estate to be trained.
 * Name - Kamal
 * Species - Bachyeon
 * Position - Troubadour of the Descendant Forces' Mind-Manipulators

Kradik, liking the young Bachyeon's bluntness and ferocity, hired the finest telepaths and essence users around the universe to train Kamal, before Kamal killed each one of them with little effort, so as to keep his own existence a secrete from the enemies of Zarbania, and to prove his worth to his "father". Kradik would find Kamal's powers useful as the years went on, though many within High Command did not like Kamal's arrogance or his flighty personality.

After the Ascendancy "left" the Powers, Kamal also "deserted" to join his father, followed by Commodus.

While Kamal comes across as prideful, arrogant and egotistical, he is also very loyal to his allies, especially his adopted father, and seeks constantly to impress him, and in fact, his quest for godhood is merely and attempt to impress his father.

Commodus= "The Berserkers of Brutego might not be Kradik's hand. That were the Blademasters of Hag'mar'ah. We might not be amongst his other favorites. That were the Hounds of Kuzushimasu, the Heralds of Mosivam, the Abominations of Azathoth, and the Praetorians of Azuris. But I serve him none the less. Because for me, he is an Dominatus. And therefore, he is my rightful master."


 * Name - Commodus
 * Species - Dragowar Overseer
 * Position - Troubadour of the Descendant Forces' Berserker Legionnaires

The paths of Commodus and Kradik have intertwined various times in the fast, starting with the Great Tyranny War. Back then, Commodus was a praetor for the Berserker of Brutego type of Overseers of the Drakodominatus Tyranny, and served as the second-in-command to their Dynast,. When Krdik came to the Tyranny to help them out, but requesting to be accnowledges as a Dominatus first, he was taken to an arena where he had to fight various kinds of Overseers and Demogorgon Prime wildlife. Kradik beat himself through all these titanic tasks however, and he was recognized by Stahl as a "Dominatus in all but Race". However, one Berserker, namely Commodus, would not take this and wished to test Kadik himself, jumping inti the arena. As Brutego roared at him to get back, the armored titan merely grinned, taking a liking for Commodus' guts, and accepted. At the end of a fierce brawl, Commodus was deafeated, and offered his loyalty. Afterwards, their paths split. Commodus would be reunited with Kradik once again after the fall of the Tyranny, where he was send as a guard to the War-Imperial delegate to the Powers.Taking heed of the existence of the Powers' Centurions, Commodus would stay with them, and become the Centurions' drill master, and again, second-in-command.

When Kradik seemingly split off from the Powers, Commodus was left behind with mixed feelings. However, whe another Centurion, Kamal, Kradik's own, was allowed to "deflect" to the newly-formed Ascendency, Commodus got along univited, and was welcomed home by Kradik, who had ancticipated just this kind of move from him. Now under direct command of a "Dominatus" again, Commodus honed his skills as never before. Bringing with him his own unit, the Berserker Legionnaires, Commodus would lead and the charge into the Cyrannian Tyranny space alongside Kamal and Kradik himself. However, on Oceanus, the Cyrannain Tyranny capital, Commodus would be faced against Brutego himself, who fought on the side of the Imperium, and be mercylessy beaten to near-death by his Dynast, enraged that Commodus dared to stand up against him. However, Kradik intervened, managed to beat back Brutego, both inflicting heavy wounds on each other during the precess, before dragging Commodus back to safety. Commodus recovered fairly quicky, and would then lead the Ascendancy's forces in the conquest of the Cyrannian Imperium of War. As a reward, Commodus would become one of the Troubadours of the Descendant Forces, more specifically of his own Berserker Legionnaires who had been integrated into them. Upon recieving the title, Commodus gloated that he didn't like the sound of it since it reminded him of bards, whom he did hate. As a responce, Kradik grinned that he also could remein a mere soldier if he wished, upon with Commodus burst out into laughter and took the title.

Like all other Berserkers of Brutego, Commodus is in a constant state of subdued wrath, can get extremely enraged over the smallest mistakes of those under his command. Due to his extpertise as a drill master, he is also very commanding towards them, and failure often ends in a direct execution, or a severe beating at best. Commodus likes gladiatorial battle to the point he entered many of them, resulting in him slaughtering all animals inside, even those who are do not pose any harm at all. While disturbingly calm for a Dragowar when not fighting, Commodus loses his patience completely when he enters battle, going on a murderous frenzy and killing everything in his path, regardless of age, gender and sapience, and he even kills his foe when he or she is completely harmless or defenseless. In fact, it seems he likes to enjoy slaughtering his foe the most when he or she is defenseless.

Species
Bygorian= "Under Lord Kradik, we shall go far!"

The Bygorians are one of the leading races of the Ascendancy, and a species long stepped in mystery. Forged by countless years of in-fighting and war, the Bygorians have finally reunified, and seek to earn their place among the other races of the galaxy, through whatever means needed.

An honorable and welcoming culture, Bygorians despise haughtiness and snobbinees. They see that every race must earn their place in the universe, and, as such, usually only show respect to races when they have earned it. Bygorians are expert scientists as well as warriors, studying anything they can get their hands on. A joke among the other races is you must bolt down everything when a Bygorian visits.

It's believed their love of science lead to their believe in the 13th as Gods, who they see as the master scientists.

Deutzalanian= "You are the prey and we are the hunters!"

The Deutzalanian, largely seen as the second race in terms of power and position, are the main race of the Zarbania Powers, ruling it through shared culture and religion, and now are members of the Ascendancy. Forged by bloodshed unleashed on their people by the Ugandalorians, the Deutzalanian believe that races live in fear of them, and seek to shake off the shackles of their savagery, and be free of the "cages". Indeed, the "Wings of Freedom" is a common metaphor in their culture.

However, despite how common they are in the military and else where, they have slowly lost position and status within the Ascendancy. Many do not trust them. However, they all fully loyal to Lord Kradik, and wish to serve him as best they can.

Deutzalanian honor hard work and dedication. They respect martially strong, and culturally fit races. They despise piracy and savagery, due to their history, and seek to bring pirate races in, and slowly remold them into a more proper government.

They are ruled by a land-owning caste, called the Klunckers. A rich group of land-owners, famous for their many years of military service as generals and other officers, Klunckers can be distinguished by the title of Vun, between their first an last name. Klunckers, are not as rich as other nobles, however, and most work hard to maintain their standing.

Zarbanian= "We fight for Zarbania and Bygore!"

Zarbanians are the smaller, weaker cousins of the Deutzalanian, and commonly seen as the lowest of races. Indeed, the Zarbanians are a weak race, easily controlled, and often used as canon fodder and grunts. Genetically engineered to have no fear, they are sent in droves to the enemy, to soften up their positions and waste ammo. Mostly, they serve as cheap labor. The Zarbanians are considered to the lowest ranking of all races within the Ascendancy, however loyal they might be.

Zarbanians have no fear, but little intelligence. However, rare members, called "Rieners", arise that show far more intelligence and strength then the standard Zarbanian. Respected by the Deutzalanian for going beyond their simple race, Rieners in the Powers became high ranking military commanders. However, in the Ascendancy, this increased intellect often just means Rieners are able to cheat themselves out of the worst situations their race has to cope with.

Zarcosian= "Rip and tear!"

Zarcosians are a race genetically engineered and altered by the original Powers to be effective brute force fighters, though still considered canon fodder alongside the Zabranians. Genetically engineered with natural, built-in weapons, Zarcosians do not stop fighting unless telepathically ordered, or until they die, either from the enemy, or overloading their neurons.

Zarcosians, unlike the Zarbanians, do not have genetic defects that could cause intelligence. However, as they grow older, and change color, they get stronger, faster, and smarter.

Unlike the Zarbanians and the Deutzalanians, their position in the Ascendancy has stayed relatively the same, if not increased by a little.

Ci-Hunter= "The Hive wills us to victory!"

The Ci-Hunters are a race of insects native to the Zarbanian's homeworld. Not much is known about them, other that their ancestors were possibly one of planet's oldest lifeforms. However, they seem to be deposited on this planet, leading to the theory that they share the Space Pirate's origins. It is known they often hide their sapience.

They are ruled by an Empress Ci-Hunter, or Queens ruling Commonwealth's in her name. Their warriors, at first acted only to protect the queens, but as the 3, Zarbanians, Deutzalanians and Ci's worked together, they found they could work together, Ci-Hunters helping in conquest of other tribes, in exchange, Deutzalanians/Zarbanians helped protect their queen, for an exchange in Ci-Hunter Honey.

The honey is a common food in the Powers, but very fattening. Ci-hunters now a days are swarm fighters, engineers, and scouts for their empire. Unlike the Zarbanians and the Deutzalanians, their position in the Ascendancy has stayed relatively the same, possibly due to them being the main provider of a such a liked food scource.

Scimat'akar= "We are the fury of the Ascendancy!"

The Scimat'akar are a brutish, powerful race, but known for their martial prowess. The Scimat'akar come from a savage world, raised to be strong and warriors. They have grown close to the Deutzalanian, despite their differences. The Scima'akar are more focused on martial survival, and as such, ditch the ideas of honor. They take prisoners, and other the some things in the Accords, the Scimat'akar follow their own savage rules.

Scimat'akar are focused on achieving glory in the name of their gods during war, and fight with utmost savagery. Scimat'akar females are similar to termite queens. They are smaller in number, though can have multiple male-mates.

Grux= "So, let the poetry of war begin."

The Grux are a race related to the Grox. They evolved peacefully on their planet, until a race called the Meta-Saurus Empire came and enslaved them. They, for years lived in fear and pain, until their King, Tirras, and his soldier, Galorian, revolted and enslaved most of the Meta-Saur empire. The rest retreated into the Ugandalorian Empire. After this, the Grux swore that they would bring justice to any who enslaved or abused other races. However, their actions have increasingly gone away from this. They are some of the higher ranking members, thanks to their strength, intelligence, and stubborn attitudes.

The Grux see war as a piece of art or poetry, as they see it. They dedicate themselves to the art of war, and dedicate themselves to master one type of weapon, while working in synergy so they can maximize damage against their foes. Those who master their respective weapons, lead squads of other warriors.

Cradosan= "Bygorian and Cradosan stand together."

The Cradosan are a race of hunters and warriors native to the Mirus, and rivals of the Zarbania Powers. While the main empire remains opposed to the Zarbanians and the doctrine of the "Creed", many Cradosan of the Milky Way, being more imperialistic and rebellious then the home galaxy, seceded and joined the Powers. While not trusted, the Cradosan yield much power within High Command, and are expert assassins and soldiers. Their most important traits are their excellent skills in the art of stealth, and they put great credence on attacking targets without being seen.

Of all races in the Powers, it is said that Kradik liked the Cradosans most of all, and as such, much of the fleet he took to Cyrannus was made of Cradosan, including most of the Cradosan Officers in the Powers. Due to this, the Cradosan fight for the Ascendancy with utmost loyalty, and recieve a much higher position that they did in the Zarbania Powers. They see themselves as equals to the Deutzalanian and true comrades, and seek to redeem fighting against them for so.

Sra= "We shall serve our new empire well."

The Sra were once a fiercely independent race in the Outer Core of Mirus, and very close allies of the Grux. However, when the Meeno Grox started their campaign, the Sra's home world was infected, and they had to blow it up. They vowed vengeance, and copied the Grox Conqrix, who are now used alongside the Zarbanians as the power's main fighting force. Sra also are featured in government positions, but are common as battlefield officers, artillery drivers, and scouts. Sra are promoted based on how many Grox they can kill.

Sra fight only when synthetics are involved, and destroy them with utmost savagery. Their Conqrix are the most used militia forces, used to whittle down enemies, and are often sent in with Zarbanian and Zarcosian forces. The Sra in the Ascendancy are known to be keen in facing the Neraida, even though Kradik has no plans facing them for time being.

Kag'tar= "Spode preserve our new empire."

Kag'tar are originally a race native to the Unified nations of Spode, now the Greater Mirusian Church of Spode. Brought to form under the Gardeili, the Kag'tar have long obeyed their masters' whims without hesitation, and bit the bullet on even suicide missions. Forced to abandon their pirating nature, and work under grueling conditions at times, many Kag'tar left and joined the Powers en mass.

Here, their plundering nature proved useful to the Powers, as they where good at stealing many of pieces of equipment their former allies, in the Church and the Federation used. Their efficiency as snipers and usage of point defense shields also gave them high position in military. However, their greatest donation to Powers, is their fleet forces.

Currently, the Kag'tar's position is relatively unchanged, though are favored now for gathering information about the natives during their struggles. The Kag'tar are also donating their best warriors for a process of "forced evolution", so they may be able to fight better. They continue Spode worship within the Ascendancy, though appear to be the only race doing so.

Pirhiaquus= "Gaah! Destroy! For Leader Kradik! Leader Kradik will lead us to destroy places!"

Pirhiaquus are an aquatic race, known for their stubbornness, and their refusal to be ordered around by anyone not able to defeat them. However, once defeated, they will execute the victor's commands without question. They have a bitter rivalry with the Skordi, due to the two species having similar roles, and the Pirhiaquus believing to be better than the Skordi. They often lead underwater assaults, act as guardsmen, but can also be seen fighting on the ground and with space forces. While oriinally coming to the Ascendancy in low numbers, their numbers are rapidly increasing to fit Lord Kradik's tastes, as he sees more use in them than in the Skordi, unlike in the Mirusian Zarbania Powers, were it is the opposite around. The Pirhiaquus are still quite low in hierachy, however, as giving them a high position would result in each of them believeing him/herself to be the leader, with would result in anarchy and huge amounts of in-fighting, a thing that any empire can miss like hell. As such, the Pirhiaquus in the Ascendancy are kept on as as short or even shorter lash than those in the Powers, however they themselves care not. The Pirhiaquus in the Ascendancy actually believe themselves to be a lot more free, and venerate Kradik, Kur'Talis and Skeeni for this.

Pirhiaquus charge with a blood lust at their foes, preferring to fight with their sharp claws and teeth. A shool of Pirhiaquus lead by a leader is a force to be feared, often isolating and surrounding their foes and working together as a superorganism of some sort. Once their leader falls, however, the shool will shatter, and the Pirhiaquus ripping and tearing anything that comes close, even allies at times, with little care for new orders.

It should be noted that the Pirhiaquus really believe the Ascendancy to be independent from the Zarbania Powers, resulting in Deutzalanian, Sci'matar and Grux having more difficulty than most in having the Pirhiaquus exectute the orders they give to them. On the other hand, Brygorians, and to a lesser extend Cradosans, find unusual low difficulty in ordering them around, the Pirhiaquus being willing to do even the diriest of jobs for them. Lone Zarbanians, due to their low ranking and the fact that their name was used for the Zarbania Powers, are often caught and eaten by shools of Pirhiaquus to celebrate the great deed that Ultimate God-Master-Emperor Kradik did by separating the Ascendancy from the Powers.

Skordi= "Let's crush those gits."

Skordi are the experiments of a Darkling Scientist, named Spidrax. Originally meant to be obedient, heavy-duty shock troopers, he left to see over some business, and returned to find the servants he placed on the planet dead, and his Skordi locked in war. He abandoned them, and left to work on another project, the more successful Changelings. Skordi where finally united under many tribes, and some work under the Darkling Brotherhood, the Powers, the Waptoria and the Federation. Skordi are naturally aggressive, and are strong, fast, and durable. They have short tempers, and some access to elemental energy. Skordi share a kinsmen-ship with the Changelings, and, because of their time working together, can tell shape shifters right off the bat.

Skordi tend to try and hold their tempers off the field, but during battle, they lose it. Unlike Pirhiaquus, bands of Skordi almost always hold rules in disdain, and as such care little or even will outright oppose orders. Due to this, Skordi are usually kept in small numbers, due to their difficulty in controlling them. In the Ascendancy, they are often guarded by a group of Pirhiaquus with a leader, much to the Skordi's chagrin.

Kigen= "..."

Kigen are the most mysterious members of the Zarbania Powers. A savage race of reptilians, Kigen are believed to be a sentient member of the Powers, and where members or allies of the old Alliance, with the Ci-Hunters, Zarcosians, Duetzalanian, and Zarbanians, helping them in the Milky Way. They have ferocious claws, and acidic saliva. They often creep through the interiors of ships, covertly attacking enemies and disabling them.

The details of their Hierarchy, leaders, goals, and homeworld are known only to the Duetzalanian, Zarbanians, Zarcosians, and Ci-Hunters, as well as higher ranking members of High Command. Kigen appear to share a telepathic hive-mind with one another.

It should be noted Kigen is similar to the Deutzalanian word for Demon, Kigrek.

Ugandalorian= "Our ancestors wrongly shedded innocent blood. We will avenge that slaughter."

Ugandalorians where originally members of the, an empire they lead, and fought against the Zarbanians. They even bombed their key planets. When they refused to surrender, the Ugandals grew tired of needless bloodshed, and pulled out. However, many symphazied with the Zarbanians from then on. It came to end when many Ugandals left for Zarbanian territory.

The Ugandalorians mostly have roles in the military, believing in martial perfection, and paying the debt they feel they owe to the Zarbanians for their sins against them. They are commonly the most elite forces deployed.

Ugandals in the Ascendancy are small in number, and few know they exist. They are Kradik's elite guards, and act only when he wills it, or is threatened.

Ascendancy Legion
The Ascendancy Legion is the main force of conquest in the Ascendancy. A foot-legion composed of the former Zarbanian and Bygorian forces, combined and retrained to fight in a different type of environment. Instead of having race monitor their own soldier types, like in the Fist of Zarbania.
 * Main Link

The Legion has 1 soldier type, the Guardsmen, which is composed by Bygorians, Cradosan, Pirhiaquus and Deutzalanians. Only the Bygorian, Deutzalanian, Scimat'akar and Grux maintain their own races' militaries, though only high ranking members can do so.

The legion is also made up of Commissars, who are designated to the Legion's forces, and fight with them to maintain morale, and secure provisions and supplies for commanders.

Ascendant's Fleet
The Ascendant's Fleet is the space fleet forces used by the UBA to spread their doctrine and conquer new races, as well as spread their believes and search for 13th tribe artifacts. Made up of the former Zarbanian Fleet and Bygorian fleet, Kradik ahs pooled the commanders and resources of both together to form one cohesive force.
 * Main Link

While not as organized as the Legion, due to many of the races' preference for ground combat, the fleet is still organized, quite larger, and extremely fearsome and aggressive in battle, constantly and mercilessly hitting their enemies with harder and harder blows.

Descendant Forces
Descendant Forces are the elite combat units donated by each race. Whether it be the Bygorian Titans, Cradosan Hunters, Pirhiaquus Dragoons or Deutzalanian Yagers, these forces fight in conditions only these elite units can handle, and commonly, are seen as the highest force among the UBA. When the former Centurions Kamal and Commodus joined, the Descendant gained two highly specialized new corps that were not species-bound: the Manipulators of Kamal and the Berserker Legionnaires.
 * Main Link

Descendant Forces use little biologic and cybernetic upgrade, relying purely on highly heightened skill and advanced equipment for destroy their foes.
