Gammador

Gammador

Gammador is an island nation located east of Capitol City in Altair's Eastern Sea. Gammador is much smaller than Mainland (also known by the somewhat archaic name of Grakador).

Gammador is known for a vast, almost exclusive supply of Crystilium, which, historically, had been mined by slave labor. Gammador is unique in that it was the only remaining sovereign power not part of the world government of Altair. Because of its rich and ancient tradition of monarchy, and because of the economic power represented by the world's largest known source of Crystilium, it remains exempt from world government rule.

For many years, it was ruled by a nigh-immortal tyrant known as Namreka, until he was eventually deposed by the last surviving descendant of an ancient bloodline of titan-like beings, a huge, powerful giant known as Oragoth. Oragoth, in turn, was believed killed during the final blitz attack of Altair by the T'Karri, defending his island from missiles capable of using the native Crystilium deposits as fuel for a chain reaction that could shatter the planet. A bitter battle of succession then occurred, between the forces that remained loyal to Oragoth, and a rebel force led by Oragoth's one-time right-hand man, Black Lance, the last remaining representative of the even more ancient Pell bloodline, the original rulers of Gammador before being deposed two thousand years ago by Oragoth's ancestors.

Eventually peace was found under Black Lance's rule, but a recent coup by former Loyalist and leader of the Dreaded Four, Psychosia, stole an artifact known as the Destiny Lance before it could be returned to seal Black Lance's ascension to the throne. She disposed of Black Lance somehow and declared herself the new ruler of Gammador.
