DarkStryder

DarkStryder was a living supercomputer created by the Kathol to protect the remains of their civilization, the Lifewell.

A fifteen meter-tall insectoid, DarkStryder's true name was pronounceable only by the ancient Kathol. The creature guarded the Lifewell for millennia, creating a massive fortress and legions of bio-organic servants.

Eventually, DarkStryder desired to leave Kathol, and made a deal with Moff Kentor Sarne, whereby DarkStryder would provide Sarne with the so called "DarkStryder technology", and Sarne would give the a creature a single hyperdrive-equipped starship. But Sarne had no intentions of following through with his bargain, realizing the power the creature.

Sarne and DarkStryder engaged in a deadly game, until the FarStar arrived. The ship's crew succeeded in opening the Lifewell, which set the Kathol free and destroyed DarkStryder.
