An '''obliteration module''' was a [[Kastrian]] space-vessel used for executions.


The Module was launched into space as the Kastrian race was dieing due to Eldrad's traitorous destruction of the barriers, as vengeance on the [[Rokon|king]] 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 a large dome-shaped complex on the [[Kastria]]n surface.
For his destruction of the [[spatial barrier]]s, [[Eldrad]] was [[death sentence|sentenced to death]]. He was launched intro space but, due to fears that the [[solar wind]]s unleashed by the destruction of the barriers would sever control, [[Rokon|King Rokon]] ordered it to be detonated prematurely. [[Zazzka|Commander Zazzka]], who controlled the craft from [[Outer Dome Six]], complied, detonating the module at nineteen, rather than twenty-five [[span]]s.

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]].

The obliteration module with Eldrad within. (TV: The Hand of Fear)

An obliteration module was a Kastrian space-vessel used for executions.

For his destruction of the spatial barriers, Eldrad was sentenced to death. He was launched intro space but, due to fears that the solar winds unleashed by the destruction of the barriers would sever control, King Rokon ordered it to be detonated prematurely. Commander Zazzka, who controlled the craft from Outer Dome Six, complied, detonating the module at nineteen, rather than twenty-five spans. This allowed Eldrad to survive, with his hand falling to Earth, allowing for his restoration. (TV: The Hand of Fear)
