Obliteration module

The obliteration module was a Kastrian space-vessel designed to carry the condemned Eldrad to his death in space.

The module was launched into space as the Kastrian race was dying due to Eldrad's traitorous destruction of the barriers, as vengeance on King Rokon and his loyal followers for stopping his plans for world domination and galactic conquest. It was intended to be detonated approximately twenty-five spans from Kastria beyond all solar systems so that there would be no possibility that Eldrad would survive. The module was controlled from Outer Dome Six on the Kastrian surface. Unfortunately, this plan didn't workout as surface conditions grew worse and threatened to sever all control over the module's detonation.

As a result, King Rokon ordered an early detonation of the Module at only nineteen spans into the mission. The order was protested by his loyal servant Commander Zazzka, but he was overruled and the module was detonated, exploding in space too close to other Solar Systems. Its premature detonation made it possible for Eldrad to survive as his hand drifted from the remains of the module into Earth's Solar System, landing on the planet in its distant past.
