| Rayhon Ventslav | Hansa raisi "Yetti quyosh" dostoni seriyali. Hansa taniqli podshohlari orqasida turgan haqiqiy kuch Basil omma e'tiboridan chetda turishni va narsalarni parda ortidan boshqarishni afzal ko'radi. Serial boshlanganda u yosh Raymond Aguerrani qirol Frederikning vorisi sifatida o'qitish uchun tanlaydi. Shunday qilib, Bazil yigitning oilasini uyushtirilgan "baxtsiz hodisa" da o'ldiradi va Raymondni - hozirda shahzoda Piter deb ataladi - Pichirlash saroyining ichaklarida haqiqiy garov sifatida saqlaydi. Garchi aqlli va zukko odam bo'lsa-da, Basil uzoq vaqtdan beri Rais lavozimini egallab turishi uni mag'rur, o'ziga muhim va o'z fikrlaridan boshqa har qanday fikrlarni ko'rib chiqishni istamasligiga olib keldi. Vayron qiluvchi gidrogenlarning paydo bo'lishi butun insoniyat tsivilizatsiyasini betartiblikka olib keladi va Basilning odatiy taktikasi hech qanday foyda keltirmasa ham, u moslashishga rozi emas. Ayni paytda, Piter Frederikdan keyin shoh lavozimini egalladi va kuchayib borayotgan gidrogue tahdidini qanday hal qilish kerakligi to'g'risida o'z fikrlariga ega; Basil, da'vo qilinganidan nafratlanib, Butrusning so'zlarini e'tiborsiz qoldiradi va tez orada giyohvandlik bilan shug'ullanadi, yosh shohni uning buyrug'ini bajarishga majbur qiladi va qo'rqitadi. Oxir-oqibat Basil Butrus va uning yangi malikasi Terok Estarrani o'ldirishga qaror qiladi va boshidan boshlaydi. Bu urinish muvaffaqiyatsizlikka uchradi va Butrus Basilni to'xtatish va insoniyatga qandaydir tarzda gidrogue urushi xavf-xatarlarini boshdan kechirishda yordam berish uchun faol ish olib borar ekan, Basilning qarorlari tobora shoshilinch, adashgan va halokatli bo'lib qoldi. Hatto Bazilning himoyachisi va ba'zida sevgilisi Sarein, Terokning elchisi va Estarraning singlisi Basilning harakatlari qanday qilib xavfli va samarasiz bo'lib kelayotganini payqaydi. Oddiy irqlarning hujumiga uchragan odamlar va Ildiranlar bilan Klikiss robotlari va Klikisslarning o'zi Hansa va uning harbiylari Bazil nazorati ostida qulab tushdi. Sarein Butrus va Estarraga Yerdan qochib, Theroc-ga o'tishga yordam beradi, u erda ular yangi Konfederatsiyani boshlashadi, ular bilan Hansani almashtirishni rejalashtirmoqdalar. | |

| Shoh Piter | Rita va Esteban Aguerraning to'ng'ich o'g'li, 14 yoshli Raymond Aguerra onasi va ukalari bilan birga portlashda oilasi halok bo'lguncha yashaydi; u rais tomonidan tortib olinadi va keyingi shoh bo'lishga tayyorlanadi. Boshidan u Basilning boshqaruviga chidamli bo'lib, oxir-oqibat o'zini tasdiqlashga intiladi. | |
| Davlin Lotze | Sobiq Kumush Beret, ekzososiolog va "qorong'u tafsilotlar bo'yicha mutaxassis" Davlin Bazil Ventslas va Xansaning ishonchli agenti bo'lib, unga Krennada yangi odam koloniyasiga kirib borish va Ildriyaliklar qoldirgan har qanday artefaktlarni tekshirish vazifasi yuklatilgan. Davlin hech qanday eslatma topolmaydi, lekin mustamlakachilarga bog'lanib qoladi. Keyinchalik u yo'qolganlarni topish uchun treyder uchuvchi Rlinda Kett bilan birga yuboriladi ksenarxeologlar Margaret va Lui Kolikos. U va Rlinda Rheindic Co-da er-xotinning izlarini, shuningdek, so'nggi kashfiyotlarini topdilar: Klikiss transporti. Davlin o'tib ketadi va g'oyib bo'ladi. Klikiss dunyosidan orqaga qaytish uchun to'g'ri koordinatali plitani topmaguncha Klikiss dunyosidan o'tishga majbur bo'lgan Davlin, oxir-oqibat o'lim yaqinida ko'p kunlardan keyin qaytib keladi. Rlinda uni hali ham oziq-ovqat va suv bilan kutmoqda. Ular Yerga qaytib, transport tizimining mavjudligi to'g'risida Hansaga xabar berishadi. Davlinning sayohatlari haqidagi yozuvlari transport vositalaridan foydalangan holda Hansa kolonizatsiyasi harakatlari uchun asosdir. Xansa xizmatidan nafaqaga chiqqan va Krennada joylashgan Davlin tez orada gidrogues va faeralar o'rtasidagi jang tufayli sayyoramiz quyoshini o'chirishga duch keladi. Rlinda va uning sobiq eri Branson Roberts yordamida Davlin Krenna mustamlakachilarini Llaroning tark qilingan Klikiss dunyosiga evakuatsiya qilishga muvaffaq bo'ldi, ammo tez orada Klikislar qaytib kelib, odamlar yashash joyini bo'ysundirdilar. Asirlikda bo'lgan Margaret Kolikos yordamida Davlin qochish rejasini boshqaradi; u oxir-oqibat Klikiss nasli bilan assimilyatsiya qilinadi va irq ustidan o'z nazoratini o'rnatishga va ularning insoniyatga qarshi hujumini to'xtatishga muvaffaq bo'ladi. | |
| Eldred Keyn | Ventslasning merosxo'ri va rais o'rinbosari. U Bazilga va Xansaga sodiqdir, lekin Hansilaning barqarorligi uchun zararli bo'lgan Basilning tobora ko'payib borayotgan xatolarini va noto'g'ri qarorlarini taniy boshlaydi. Qobil oxir-oqibat shoh Piterga Bazilni ag'darishga yordam beradi. | |

Yerdan mudofaa kuchlari
| Belgilar | Tavsif | |
|---|---|---|
| General Kurt Lanyan | Yerni himoya qilish kuchlari qo'mondoni. | |
| Robb Brindl | Gidrogellarga qarshi urush boshlanganda uchuvchi sifatida EDFga qo'shilgan ikkita Yer Mudofaasi kuchlari faxriylarining o'g'li. Robb va Tasia Tamblinlar yollovchilar sifatida yaqin do'stlar, keyinchalik esa sevgililar bo'lishadi. Robb Boone's Crossing-ga hujum qilgan gidrogue harbiy kemalarini orqaga qaytaradi gaz giganti Osquivel va ko'ngillilar yuqori bosimli idishda u erdagi gidroglar bilan aloqa o'rnatishga jur'at etishdi. Uning kemasidan uzatmalar to'xtaganda va gidrogues EDF flotiga hujum qilganda o'lik deb taxmin qilingan Robb, aslida bir nechta odam bilan bir necha yil davomida gidrogue asiridir. Keyinchalik u va Tasiya qo'lga tushganida birlashadilar, ammo ularni Tasiyaning o'z ukasi Jess va uning gollari kuchi saqlab qoladi. Tez orada Robb va Tasia EDFni qirol Piter boshchiligidagi Konfederatsiya foydasiga o'zgartirib yubordilar, u ularni o'zlarining harbiy kuchlarini boshqarishga topshirdi. | |
| General Konrad Brindl | Iste'fodagi EDF xodimi gidroglarga qarshi urush paytida yana xizmatga qaytdi va generalga ko'tarildi. U o'g'li Robbni tiriklayin topganidan juda xursand, ammo Robb kelganda EDFdan qochishni rad etadi. | |
| Patrik Fitspatrik III | Sobiq Hansa raisi Maureen Fitspatrikning buzilgan va mag'rur nabirasi. Roamerning yolg'onchi Tasia Tamblindan nafratlanishiga qaramay, Patrik EDF kursanti sifatida o'zini ko'rsatolmaydi, ammo uning oilaviy aloqalari uni ofitserga aylantirishga tayyor qildi. Faoliyatining boshida u general Lanyanning iflos ishlarini bajaradi va "noqulay" Roamer kemasini va uning ekipajini yo'q qiladi; bu Roumerlar va kichikroq koloniyalarni begonalashtiradigan Hansa va EDF harakatlarining birinchisi. Patrik EDF Osquiveldagi gidrogues tomonidan mag'lubiyatga uchraganida o'lik bo'lib qoladi, ammo u va uning bir qancha o'rtoqlari Roumers tomonidan ushbu hududdagi yashirin kemasozlik zavodidan qutqariladi. Kema zavodining egasi Del Kellum, uning maxfiy inshooti joylashgan joyni himoya qilish uchun EDF tirik qolganlarini tark etishni istamay rad etadi. Ularning asirligidan ranjigan Patrik va uning o'rtoqlari hamkorlik qilmaydilar va qochish vositasini izlaydilar, lekin u asta-sekin mehnatsevar Roumersga qoyil qolishni boshlaydi va adashgan Xansaga qanday aldanganligini tushunadi. Patrik va Delning qizi Jett o'zaro adovat va jozibadorlikni baham ko'rishadi; u tez orada Osquivelda qolish va Roamers bilan ishlashdan xursand bo'lishini tushunadi, ammo u qochib ketishini boshqa EDF asirlari manfaati uchun amalga oshirish uchun istamay Zhet bilan aloqasidan foydalanadi. Patrikning buvisi tasodifan bosqinchi EDF kuchi bilan keladi; u tizimdan qochib ketgan Romanlar uchun erkinlikni taklif qiladi. Keyinchalik Patrik Zhett va uning otasini izlab, bir necha yil oldin Roamer kemasiga qilingan hujumdagi ishtiroki uchun uzr so'ragan. Oxir oqibat Zhet uni kechiradi va ikkalasi buzilgan Hansa va EDFga qarshi faol qarshilik ko'rsatishni boshlaydilar. | |
| Admiral Sheila Willis | Grid 7 jangovar flotining admirali, EDF va Xansaga qattiq sodiq bo'lib, ular ularning nazorati ostida emasligini ko'rishni boshlaguncha. Uillis qattiq Yreka blokadasini amalga oshiradi va keyinchalik Soldier kompy isyoni paytida ba'zi kemalari bilan zo'rg'a qochib ketadi. U qolgan EDF kuchlariga Juggernaut-da Yerdagi gidrogue hujumiga qarshi yordam beradi Yupiterva keyinchalik o'nta Manta Cruisers buyrug'i berilib, Butrusning Therocga qarshi isyonini bostirish uchun Yupiter general Lanyanga topshiriladi.

| Admiral Lev Stromo | EDF Grid Zero Admiral; uning muvaffaqiyati Ramaga qarshi qo'zg'olonni bostirishga qaramay, gidrogenlarga katta zarar etkazganidan keyin unga "Stromo uyda qol" laqabini berishdi. Roumerlar noqonuniy deb e'lon qilinganidan keyin u Rendevvoning Roamer shtab-kvartirasiga qarshi EDF jangovar kemalarida etakchilik qilgan. "Soldier" kompyuteri qo'zg'oloni paytida Juggernautni uchirish joyiga etib kelganiga qaramay, u pistirmada o'ldirilgan. | |
| Elli Ramires | Tamblin Marsdagi EDF bazasiga qayta tayinlangandan keyin kemaning komandiri lavozimiga ko'tarilguniga qadar Tasia Tamblyn's Manta kemasida sayohat qiluvchi. Admiral Stromo Ramiresning kreyseridan Roamersga qarshi reydlarni olib borar ekan, u ziddiyatli vaziyatlarda Ramirezga umumiy buyruq berishga imkon beradi. U "Soldier" qo'shinlari qo'zg'oloni paytida Admiral Stromoning "Juggernaut" kemasida halok bo'ldi. | |
| Anvar Zizu | Tasia Tamblyn tomonidan boshqariladigan Manta kreyseri bortidagi xavfsizlik bo'yicha boshliq. | |

Keyinchalik, Rheindic Co sayyorasida tashlab qo'yilgan Klikiss majmuasini o'rganayotganda, er-xotin ilgari itoatkor Klikiss robot xizmatchilari tomonidan hujumga uchraydilar. Margaret yangi topilgan transport vositasidan qochib qutuladi, chunki Lui o'ldirilgan va ularning kompakt DD-si robotlar tomonidan o'g'irlangan. Keyinchalik serialda u o'z kuchlarini to'playotgan va sayyoralarini qaytarib olishga tayyorlanayotgan qaytarilgan Klikiss irqining mahbusi ekanligi ma'lum bo'ldi. Margaretning Klikiss haqidagi bilimlari unga hasharotlar bilan aloqa qilishda va ularni joylashtirish uchun musiqa qutisidagi noyob qo'shiqdan foydalanishda yordam berdi; dahshatga tushgan va bo'ysundirilgan bo'lsa-da, u ular bilan bir necha yillar davomida birga yashash uchun tirik qoladi. Margaret DD bilan birlashdi va Klikisslar sayyoramiz Llaroni qaytarib olgach, u bosqinchi Klikiss va asirga olingan inson koloniyasi o'rtasida norasmiy aloqa va tarjimon vazifasini bajaradi. | |

Terokning onasi va otasi qizi, ambitsiyali Sarein yordamida Rlinda Teronning ekzotik ovqatlari va to'qimachilik mahsulotlarini sotish bo'yicha savdo shartnomasini imzolaydi. Tez orada uning ushbu hashamatli buyumlarini Ildiran Bosh vakili Jora'h sotib oladi, u yashil ruhoniylar Otema va Nira Xali Ildiraga Ildiraga olib borilganda, Etti Quyosh Saga. Gidrogue urushi boshlanganda, Rlindaning kichik kemalar floti EDF tomonidan chaqiriladi, faqat o'z kemasi, Achchiq qiziqish. Hansa raisi Basil Ventslas Rlinda yo'qolgan ksenarxeologlar Margaret va Lui Kolikosni qidirishda agenti Davlin Lotzeni olib ketishni so'raydi. Ular Rheindic Co-dagi olimlarning izlarini topadilar va tadqiq qiladilar; Davlin Kolikos tomonidan kashf etilgan Klikiss transport vositasidan o'tib, yo'q bo'lib ketadi. Ko'p kunlardan keyin u qaytib boradigan yo'lni topganda, Rlinda uni hali ham oziq-ovqat va suv bilan kutmoqda. Ular Yerga qaytib, transport tizimining mavjudligi to'g'risida Hansaga xabar berishadi. Tez orada transport vositalaridan foydalangan holda mustamlaka harakatlari olib borilmoqda va Rlinda og'ir texnikani Klikiss portallari orqali uzatib bo'lmaydigan darajada katta transportirovka bilan shug'ullanadi. U uzoq yillar davomida xavfli xizmatdan so'ng EDFga majburiy chaqiruvidan voz kechgan BeBobning yordamiga murojaat qiladi, u EDFni ogohlantirmaslikka rozi bo'lgan raisning roziligi bilan. Rlinda va BeBob Davlinga Krenna aholisini evakuatsiya qilishga yordam berishadi, bu sayyora quyoshi gidrogues va faeralar o'rtasidagi jangda o'chirilganida. Ko'p o'tmay, BeBob EDF tomonidan ushlanib, hibsga olingan va general Lanyan uni namuna ko'rsatish uchun xoin sifatida o'limga mahkum qiladi. Bazil aralashishdan bosh tortgan bo'lsa-da, Rlinda va Davlin BeBobning qochishini amalga oshirishga muvaffaq bo'lishdi.

Ko'plab xavfli topshiriqlardan so'ng u nafaqaga chiqib, Krennada yashashga qaror qildi, ammo bu texnik jihatdan bo'shashishdir. Keyinchalik u Rlinda bilan yangi topilgan Klikiss dunyosida yangi koloniyalarga katta texnika va materiallarni etkazib berishga bo'lgan sa'y-harakatlariga qo'shildi. Rlinda va BeBob Davlinga Krenna aholisini evakuatsiya qilishga yordam berishadi, bu sayyora quyoshi gidrogues va faeralar o'rtasidagi jangda o'chirilganda.

U keksa yoshdagi ob'ektiv Kithman Tery'l bilan do'stlashadi, u unga Ildiran haqida ma'lumot beradi. Kolker oxir-oqibat dunyo o'rmoniga qaytadan ulanishga qodir, ammo u ilgari bo'lgani kabi o'zini bajarmaganligini his qilmoqda. U Tery'ldan maslahat so'raydi, lekin eski Lens kithman o'lmoqda. Tery'l vafot etganda Kolkerga o'zining nurli medalyonini beradi va Kolker telink faqat yashil ruhoniylarni birlashtirsa, bu butun Ildir irqini birlashtirganini tushunadi. Yarim odam / yarim Ildiran telepatasi Osirax va uning birodarlari yordamida Kolker telink bilan bu aloqa o'rtasidagi aloqani topadi va u boshqa odamlarga o'tishi mumkin.

However, the bomb planted by Pellidor is discovered and King Peter manages to quietly release Denn. Peroni is later enlisted by Cesca to lead a convoy of Roamer ships to Theroc to help the planet rebuild after a hydrogue attack. When the Hansa declares all Roamers to be outlaws, he is part of the secret convocation at Osquivel where the Roamers agree to covertly sell their products to beleaguered Hansa colonies and the Ildiran Empire. Denn helps set up a makeshift hub market at Yreka, and later assists Kotto Okiah in both the manufacture of his anti-hydrogue "Doorbell" weaponry and also deploying the devices against the hydrogues at Earth.

Ildirans
In the series, the Ildiran Empire has existed for over ten thousand years, living peacefully due to a communal mental interconnectedness called the thism. Each Ildiran has what is called a soulthread, and these soulthreads are woven together by their leader, the Mage-Imperator. Ildirans have a very specialized society, with specific castes that are adept at performing particular tasks. The castes are physically different from one another, and have different suffixes at the end of their names. Ildirans are the first extraterrestrials that humanity encounters upon exploring space beyond Earth, and the Ildirans share their stardrive technology with humans.

| Cyroc'h | Ildiran Mage-Imperator at the beginning of the series, and successor of Yura'h. Cyroc'h holds the devotion of his people through his control of the thism, and will stop at nothing to protect and preserve the Ildrian race. Yilda Yashirin imperiya, he fears that his heir, Prime Designate Jora'h, may not be strong enough to make the ruthless decisions required to lead the Ildirans, though he knows he is partly responsible since he has kept Jora'h in the dark about some of the empire's most sinister secrets. Cyroc'h kills the Rememberer Dio'sh when he discovers information about an ancient war censored by a previous Mage-Imperator, and also murders the medical kithmen who know that he is dying of an incurable tumor. His calculating second son Udru'h shares these and another dark Ildiran secret: the existence of a generations-long breeding program mating captive humans with Ildirans, seeking a telepat that can communicate with the hydrogues. Recognizing the potential of the green priest Nira Khali's psychic connection to the worldtrees, Cyroc'h has Udru'h abduct her and force her to participate in the breeding program telling Jora'h that she died in a fire. When Jora'h discovers that Nira is alive, Cyroc'h poisons himself; he knows that when Jora'h becomes Mage-Imperator he will understand the essential nature of the breeding program. | |
| Jora'h | Eldest son of the Mage-Imperator Cyroc'h and Prime Designate of the Ildiran Empire. He is more benevolent than his father and many Mage-Imperators before him, but is challenged by the realities of the Ildiran Empire, their dark history and the hydrogue threat. He falls in love with the Theron green priest Nira Khali, but their relationship is tested by Cyroc'h's machinations. | |
| Udru'h | Second born son of Cyroc'h, and therefore the assigned designate for the dreary planet Dobro. Intelligent but cold, Udru'h shares his father's view on what must be done to preserve the Ildrian race, and manages the secret breeding program on Dobro. | |

After he almost dies in a hydrogue attack, he is reawakened to believe he is meant to "save" the Ildrians from Jora'h's influence. He forces followers into his command by drugging them with shiing and securing them with his own form of thism, and then incites a bloody rebellion, brutally killing thousands to force Jora'h to capitulate to his demands. He is joined by Jora'h's own son and Prime Designate, Thor'h. | |
| Avi'h | Youngest son of Cyroc'h and the designate of the resort world of Maratha. He maintains his position as designate after the accession of Jora'h to Mage-Imperator as Jora'h did not have time to father enough noble born sons before the death of Cyroc'h for Maratha to have a designate-in-waiting. When the complex at Maratha Prime is mysteriously disable, Avi'h flees with visiting human Anton Colicos and Rememberer Vao'sh to Maratha Secda, an alternate site under construction, but is killed by Klikiss robots upon arrival. | |
| Thor'h | First-born son of Jora'h, his Prime Designate and the next Mage-Imperator of the Ildiran Empire. Thor'h's pampered upbringing on Hyrillka leaves him spoiled and addicted to the pleasure drug shiing. Devoted to his indulgent uncle, the Hyrillka designate Rusa'h, Thor'h is easily bent to Rusa'h's will when the Hyrillka designate awakes from a coma and decides to rebel against Jora'h's rule. | |
| Yazra'h | Noble-born daughter of Jora'h, she prefers to spend her time among warrior kithmen rather than nobles. Jora'h assigns her as his personal bodyguard when he becomes Mage-Imperator, which provokes an uproar among orthodox Ildirans. She later accompanies Rememberer Vao'sh and Anton Colicos to Hyrillka to act as mentor to young Ridek'h, who is accelerated into the position of Hyrillka designate by the murder of designate-in-waiting Pery'h by Rusa'h. Yazra'h is also the owner of three well-trained Isix cats, large and vicious felines who can attack on command. | |
| Pery'h | Third-born noble son of Jora'h, he is the Hyrillka Designate-in-waiting after Jora'h becomes Mage-Imperator. He is murdered by his uncle, Hyrillka Designate Rusa'h, when he refuses to join Rusa'h's rebellion. | |

| Adar Kori'nh | The Adar (supreme commander) of the Ildiran Solar Navy during the final years of Cyroc'h's reign as Mage-Imperator. He recognizes that the rigid and traditional ways of the millennia-old navy have slowly undermined its ability to effectively wage war. Kori'nh studies Earth military history vigorously and uses simplistic military games from Earth to test his commanders aptitude for battle. It is during one such test that he sees the potential and fresh thinking of Tal Zan'nh, the first-born son of the then Prime Designate Jora'h. He appoints Zan'nh his successor, and grooms his protégé accordingly. Kori'nh realizes that there is a lapse in the thism between the death of the Mage-Imperator Cyroc'h and the accession of his heir Jora'h, and uses this time without the Mage-Imperator's direct mental authority to plan a drastic attack on the hydrogues. He uses 49 warliners to ram and destroy 49 hydrogue warglobes, a suicidal victory that represents the greatest blow against the hydrogues yet in the war. With Kori'nh's heroic sacrifice to be celebrated in the epic "Yetti quyosh" dostoni, Zan'nh becomes Adar of the Solar Navy. | |
| Tal Zan'nh | First-born child of then Prime Designate Jora'h, though as a member of the Soldier kith, he is not Jora'h's heir.

| DD | Friendly model compy (Competent Computerized Companion) belonging to the xenoarchaeologists Louis and Margaret Colicos; previously owned by the human girl Dahlia Sweeney and then her daughter Marianna. DD assists the Colicos in their exploration of the abandoned Klikiss planet Rheindic Co, along with the green priest Arcas and three Klikiss robots. When Louis and Margaret stumble upon a preserved Klikiss transportal and writings regarding the Klikiss robots' true history, the black robots kill Arcus and Louis before Margaret escapes through the transportal. DD is abducted by the Klikiss robot leader Sirix, who intends to study the compy and determine how to subvert the programming which prevents DD and other compies from inflicting harm on humans. Sirix upgrades DD's body to withstand the harsh environments in which the Klikiss robots had made their strongholds, including a moon with no atmosphere and a high-pressure hydrogue citysphere at the core of the gaz giganti Ptoro. There DD meets some of the hydrogues' human captives, including Robb Brindle. DD is next taken to the planet Corribus, where he must watch helplessly as Sirix and his Klikiss robots use stolen EDF warships to destroy the new human settlement there. Sirix next takes DD to Jonah 12, where a long-hidden cache of Klikiss robots is awakening. They have attacked the Roamer facility there and killed its inhabitants, but as Sirix and DD arrive the complex is destroyed by human sabotage and the Klikiss robots are wiped out. Sirix forces DD to help repair their damaged ship, and DD's attempt to strand Sirix in open space fails. The Klikiss robots finally manage to remove DD's restrictive programming, but instead of willingly joining their cause, DD escapes through a Klikiss transportal. He is reunited with Margaret Colicos, who has been a prisoner of the returned Klikiss race since her escape from Rheindic Co. | |
| EA | Friendly compy belonging to the Tamblyn family; her last owner, Tasia Tamblyn, sends the compy on a secret mission to warn the hidden Roamer outpost at Osquivel of an impending Hansa mission to the area. EA is interrogated by Basil Wensceslas on her way back, and her memory self-erases. EA is later destroyed by Klikiss robots while a hostage of the hydrogues. | |
| OX | Teacher compy and one of Earth's oldest robots, he is the instructor for all future kings of the Hansa. Protective of young King Peter, he begins to circumvent the orders of Basil Wenceslas as the Chairman's actions threaten Peter and the stability of the Hansa. | |
| Sirix | Leader of the Klikiss robots. Discovered in hibernation millennia after the disappearance of the Klikiss race, these reawakened black robots are sophisticated and physically capable of performing various tasks but claim to possess no memory of their pasts. As Louis and Margaret Colicos stumble upon Klikiss transportal technology on Rheindic Co, the robots drop their ruse and seek to eliminate the xenoarchaeologists. Created by the Klikiss as a challenge in battle and domination, the black robots had risen up and destroyed the Klikiss. Now they are reawakening hidden caches of their kind to implement their long-planned goal of taking over the former Klikiss worlds. Though they do not see humans as a direct threat, they do not value human life and are willing to either use or destroy humanity to achieve their ends. Sirix engineers the mass-production by the Hansa of "superior" but secretly compromised Soldier compies; when these robots have been distributed across the entire EDF fleet, they are activated to subdue (and execute as necessary) the crews and seize the vessels, as well as the production facilities themselves on Earth. | |
| Dekyk and Ilkot | Klikiss robot companions of Sirix on Rheindic Co. | |
| Jorax | Klikiss robot residing on Earth; the scientist William Andeker attempts to learn the secrets of the Klikiss robots by capturing the Jorax and dissecting him. Andeker suspects no threat from Jorax, as the black robots are known to be passive, despite their size. As the dissection commences, however, the robot easily breaks himself free and proceeds to tear the scientist to pieces. Jorax confesses his actions to the Hansa King Frederick and his court, stating that Andeker had triggered hidden defensive systems within the amnesiac robot upon attempted dissection. Jorax requests that Frederick declare the Klikiss robots an independent, autonomous group that cannot be treated as property, which the King does. Later, the robot Sirix offers the secrets of the robots' construction to the Hansa to incorporate into the designs of new soldier compies for use by the EDF; Sirix's secret plan will allow for him to control these new compies at a future time when he can use their vast numbers to his advantage. Jorax offers himself up for dissection by the EDF scientists for this purpose. | |
