Toa Skya

Toa Skya is the name given to the group of Toa that protect the floating continent of Skya Nui. There have been two teams of Toa Skya.

Original
The original Toa Skya consisted of twelve Toa, twice the size of the average team. It was led by the Alvaron, a Toa of Light, and Dreg and Rundas served under in its ranks.

This team was created by the Great Beings in order to protect Skya Nui and the Well of Elements in case harm were to ever befall them. Their job became immensely more difficult after the Great Cataclysm, as a hole was opened on Skya Nui's surface allowing contact to be made with the rest of the Matoran Universe. Many dangerous entities seeking power tried to take over the sphere, but the work of the Toa Skya kept them from doing so.

Civil War
External threats were not what eliminated the Toa Skya. It was instead a threat from within that would do them in. Dreg, the team's Toa of Earth, began to incite rebellion among his fellow Toa, saying that they should use their powers to rule Skya Nui and protect it trough control. Over half the team allied themselves with him, while the other half - including Alvaron and Rundas - fought against his movement.

These battles escalated into a civil war, and the Toa began fighting to the death. Eventually, nearly all the lives of both sides were claimed. Alvaron went missing during a critical battle, and Dreg disappeared after his supporters were killed. Rundas was the only survivor, having fought and killed the last of his former brothers and sisters.

Interrim
Due to the loss of his team, Rundas endured as the sole protector of Skya Nui for several hundred years, helping rebuild damaged cities and protecting the continent's Matoran.

New Team
At the suggestion of an Order of Mata Nui member named Lewix, Rundas sent summons to bring several new Toa to Skya Nui, as rumors of a new threat began circulating throughout the continent.
