Previous speaker and leader, though I am still unsure of their names so that might change later on.
Sailsong was a beloved figure of Oardivia, known for her infinite patience and gentle, selfless nature. Her presence was a source of comfort for many, especially Tectonichus, who was very attached to her. During her time as speaker, she brought the colony of Oardivia into a Golden Age, always putting the well-being of Oardivia’s people before anything else.
Crosswave became leader after he led a famous battle against alien raiders that resulted in zero casualties for the Oardivians. His strength and courage was greatly admired, and for many centuries, he worked alongside Sailsong for the betterment of their people.
It’s still not known what exactly happened to cause his change in personality later on, some say he grew very fond of Sailsong but was rejected, others say his views simply changed with time, and others still suggest that some kind of alien tech altered his mind.
Regardless of what the truth could be, Crosswave suddenly turned against Sailsong, murdering her in the Grand Gatherhome.
The day she was killed was the day of The Deep’s Scream, that would be followed by many years of silence from Tectonichus.
With Sailsong out of the picture, Crosswave had complete control over the Senate, using words, charisma and intimidation to sway most of the senate to fit his new ideals. Those who refused to see his side were arrested, lost their reputation, or even killed.
For several centuries, Crosswave controlled Oardivia. He used law enforcement and the military to keep civilians in line, and delivered harsh punishments even over simple things.
A young Royal Blue would eventually work up the courage to challenge Crosswave for his position. The fight was brutal and Blue very nearly died, but he had managed to take the tyrant mech down, using his own trident against him for the finishing blow.
