Cythosi: Difference between revisions

The '''Cythosi''' were a species of large, bulky [[humanoid]]s.

The Cythosi were large, bulky creatures, native to a [[planet]] of heavy gravity. They had heavy brows, hide-like skin and bone knobs around their body. Their bones were as tough as [[titanium]] and their skin was extremely thick. Cythosi had purple [[blood]]. ([[PDA]]: ''[[Storm Harvest]]'')

The Cythosi were capable of making a Cythosi into a Human as a form of double agent, though it did cause schizophrenia.  

The Cythosi had a strong sense of pride, and would never back down from a fight. If they were offended by someone, they would personally kill them, even if that wasn't a good idea.

The Cythosi would keep a large amount of [[slave]]s for work. If the Cythosi became bored they would torture, kill and eat their slaves. As such, they would rapidly run out of slaves, requiring them to have over 6 times as many slaves as Cythosi in order to compensate for the attrition. ([[PDA]]: ''[[Storm Harvest]]'')

For hundreds of years, the Cythosi were at war with the [[Zithra]]. They had been fighting them for generations, constantly trying to stop them but never suceeding. Eventually, they learnt of the [[Krill]] and decided to try to use them in their war. They sent a sleeper agent, [[Philip Garret|Skuarte/Philip Garret]], to the planet to lead to the development of the [[Human]] colony. He set it up so that all the necessary events for the awakening of the Krill were there.

After 20 years, the Cythosi returned to [[Coralee]]. They let a radioactive particle awaken a group of Krill, which set out to kill all the colonists. At the same time, the Cythosi agent became to suffer from schizophrenia from his long mission. He started to go mad, attacking people and eating [[Edwin Bryce]]. He also took the only weapon that could kill all the Krill, and eventually used it. The Cythosi found that the Krill were acceptable as weapon and came to the planet to, ostensibly to help repair the damage, but actually to [[transmat]] the Krill eggs to their ship. Unfortunately, Garret sabotaged the [[nuclear power plant]] they were doing so in, which awoke the Krill and released them on the Cythosi ship. The slaves on-board took advantage of this and staged a revolt, leading to major difficulties for both groups. Though [[Seventh Doctor|the Doctor]] tried to make peace, the Cythosi refused to abandon ship and were killed, while the slaves had to escape. The Cythosi ship was destroyed to get rid of the Krill.
