Jalkadomera Galaxy

The Jalkadomera Galaxy is the galaxy that was ruled by Dartrakh and Antrahk almost 100,000 years ago, and the site of the Great Beings' Crisis that devastated many of the planets that constituted this galaxy.

History
The Jalkadomera is one of the oldest galaxies existing outside, right on the very edge of the Matoran Universe. The Zytar (Species) were the first to land in this star system and explored many of the galaxy's planets. The Zytar (Species) established themselves quite well in Jalkadomera, especially on Tarnaroth, where they built the impressive structure known as Zytar's Pillar. After several years however, they were driven out by a series of horrendous cosmic disasters, including a solar flare that ravaged planet Jepundros. The Zytar (Species) left, leaving only one behind. The straggler was called Dartrakh, and he wandered the Jalkadomera system for many years searching for civilization.

When the next wave of Great Beings arrived in the galaxy, Antrahk helped Dartrakh and took him in as one of his own. Along with Takrah, Dartrakh watched over the planets of Jalkadomera in peeace, preventing natural disasters and establishing an ecosystem on Tarnaroth and Jepundros, along with several other moons.

That was when the group of survivors from a massive energy storm, called the Shadow Vorkrei, landed in Tarnaroth. Led by Dartoba, the group pleaded for help from the three Great Beings after their home planet was shattered into fragments by the storm. But Dartrakh had become too accustomed to being 'free' in his galaxy, so used his status and power that came with being a Great Being to denounce Dartoba's pleas.

Antrahk and Takrah supported the Shadow Vorkrei while Dartrakh went out on his own, thus sparking the conflict known as the Great Beings' Crisis. It was during this struggle that Dartrakh created his servant, Vahkra, somewhere on Jepundros. With his newly-created warrior, Dartrakh launched an attack on the Shadow Vorkrei and the Council of Antrahk, who were based on Tarnaroth.

After Vahkra betrayed his master, Dartrakh decided to take Jalkadomera by force and engaged Dartoba in single combat. In a long and brutal duel, Dartrakh was pushed back to Jepundros where Vahkra waited. But Dartrakh's energies had caused the robot to malfunction and it proceeded to attack both his master and Dartoba. As a result, the pair were forced to team up and kill Vahkra.

The Great Beings left Jalkadomera when Dartrakh passed away to create Mata Nui, who would go on to breathe life into the Matoran Universe.

Landscape
Because of the notoriously unpredictable natural phenomenon that disrupted the galaxy, many of Jalkadomera's planets and celestial bodies were barren and devoid of sentient life. Only Zytar's Pillar remained on Tarnaroth, and on Jepundros there was virtually nothing at all; especially after the planet collided with its own moon soon after Dartoba, Antrahk and Takrah left.
