Zeraton

The Zeraton are a space-faring species native to the now destroyed planet of Tormzem.

History
Not much is known about the Zeraton. They did have knowledge of the Great Beings, known to them as "The Creators". Their homeworld or Tormzem was destroyed in a massive supernova, but the species escaped. The entire population is currently spread across countless worlds, but teams are searching for a new planet to call home.

Biology
The Zeraton stand about as tall as a Toa, and have slim, tall bodies. They're very tough and can lift heavy objects with ease. They are also completely organic, like humans.

A drawback, however, is that the Zeraton breathe methane, and cannot function outside of a Krakull or Aegis biosuit. If the suit ruptures, it must be sealed off quickly or else the Zeraton will die of asphyxiation.

Weapons
The Zeraton long ago abandoned the sword and shield for guns and ammo. They've perfected the bullet, and have shared this technology with the Order of Mata Nui. Samples of their ballistics weapons were discovered years prior to their entry into the Matoran Universe.

Aegis
Aegis Armor is the standard powered armor for all Zeraton. The armor scrubs air of all compounds besides methane, allowing the wearer to survive in many environments (excluding space). Aegis armor has been used for countless years, and is the most advanced suit a Zeraton can wear.

Variants

 * Aegis Mark I- a simple air-scrubbing full-body suit.
 * Aegis Mark II- an advanced, environmental exploration suit.
 * Aegis Mark III- a military variant of the Aegis. It can sustain weapon fire.

Kraaakl
The Kraaakl is a more traditional variant of armor, worn by high status individuals. It is usually form-fitting, black, and has gold trim. Kraaakl armor is regarded as being one of the most honorable tools a Zeraton can have, and only prominent individuals wear them.

Zeraton Worlds

 * Tormzem (Destroyed in a supernova)- Their homeworld, once a beautiful garden world. It is now a rubble field orbiting a pulsar.
 * Vlannur- A colony that was founded to mine Titanium for Aegis Armor suits. It is mountainus and rocky.
 * Zerothi- A small world that was colonized to support a population. Most residents are farmers. The world is noted as one of few that allows the Zeraton to function without their biosuits.
 * Apparana XXI- A cold, icy world that is mined for gold and other substances.
 * Thyreliss IV- A garden world. Hostile animal life keeps the Zeraton from fully colonizing the planet.
 * Draihull- A desert planet, colonized by the survivors of a crash landing. The planet was forgotten and its status is uknown.
 * Gaerrus IV- A military base planet that houses the Zeraton's only permanent command base.
 * Revasain- A "fringe world", it is also unknown if any inhabitants are still alive.
