Fictional history

The first Citadelian brother of Auron, and child of the goddess X'Hal adopted the technology of the Psions in order to betray his family and clone his own race of beings called Citadelians. The Citadel established an empire in the Vegan Star System, in order to conquer worlds with help from a computer called Complex-Complex. Various dictators arose to power, but Complex-Complex was always the man behind the curtain. The rulers were Lord Damyn, Komand'r, and The Chief. The reign ended in the Citadelian war when the Omega Men destroyed the Fortress Ring. An earthman named Harry Hokum (with help from Lobo) lead the Citadelians on its prison planet, and changed the name of it to New Alliance. The Branx Warriors, Spider Guild, and Gordanians reside under the earthman's command in that Star System.
