[QUOTE="Knight Otu, post: 200132, member: 192"] Repost from the old boards: The following overviews had been requested by Upper_Krust: Regarding the Suprahet This is a translated and abbreviated write-up from the Perry Rhodan lexicon. Any notes in {} were added by me. [b]Suprahet:[/b] abbrev. for: supraheterodynamic entity {I don't know what it means - seriously!} - half four-, half five dimensional "Monster" of unmeasurable size, that appeared about 1.2 million years ago in the Milky Way (and other galaxies) and started to "devour" whole star clusters. It was trapped by the Barkonids by feeding it so much energy that it "exploded".

It is certainly COLOSSAL^3 ;). Regarding the rogue Cosmocrat Vishna Vishna managed to join the ranks of the Cosmocrats despite having developed from a Matter Sink, which is usually the road to a Chaotarch. She was accepted as an equal by all Cosmocrats. However, the Cosmocrats used a super-computer, the Empire of Viruses, to aid them in their battle against Chaos, and this computer refused to work for Vishna.

Regarding the Abruse The Abruse was a crystalline entity spanning much of the Arresum, though it's influence was only visible on planets or spaceships, where it crystallized everything. It was mostly emotionless, but the presence of "normal" life caused it pain (and vice versa, though the pain usually is deadly for them), but from this pain it also learned new things. It was capable to produce other crystalline creatures and spaceships from the planets under it's influence. It was also capable to project images, and later to expand these images into short-lived "pseudo-life", that were not under her control, but could wander unharmed among "normal" life. Another weapon is the Crystal-Icing, which takes place upon the death of a crystalline commander, shattering into shards that fly around. Anything hit is instantly frozen to Absolute Zero. The Abruse was an unnatural entity, created by a rogue Mighty One of the Arresum (every universe seems to have a rogue Mighty One :rolleyes: ) with manipulated life spores. It's very existence threatened the structure of the universe as it strived to unite Arresum and Parresum (the two sides of the universe). [/QUOTE]
