Tamaran

Tamaran is a planet in the Vegan galaxy. It is where Fall Gaikokuwas born. Fade strike was created here, but disappeared into the Remnant Grid along with the lab he was in about 8010 years prior - aka 0 YR

History
Many years ago, Tamaran was invaded by a Gordanian invasion fleet which proceeded to lay waste to the planet turning it from a beautiful oasis to an empty desert.

As the royal family began to crumble, Tamaran was left in turmoil with no leader to guide them. Later a criminal princess had returned to her people and deceived them into believing that the planet was under attack again by foreign invaders, and the only way to end the attack was to have the long-lost Princess Star return home and marry the head of the armada and exulted Drenthax IV ruler; this was all a scheme, however, between the criminal and the other alien so the criminal could gain the Jewel of Charta and he could marry Princess Star. Luckily this plan was dissolved thanks to the aid of the Teen Titans and the crew of The Survivor, and with the criminal princess' cruel reign over, Princess Star was chosen as the new grand ruler, but in favor of her friendship with the Titans - and something more - she declined this position and gave it to her knorfka (caretaker) Galfore, thus making him the new grand ruler.

Certain other aliens are prejudiced against Tamaraneans, deeming them inferior. The Tamaranean Drekzs and Kuriputonaitoshan Drekzs had been fighting for fifty years, but that came to an end just before the events of Trail of The Survivor.

Geography
Tamaran was once a lush and beautiful tropical planet until the day the Gordanian invasion fleet came and laid waste to the natural flora of the planet leaving it a desert wasteland. Prior to the invasion, Tamaran seemed to have lush green fields and trees like those on Earth and flowers of pink and purple color and skies of blue with yellow clouds, but after the invasion the planet's terrain turned from a normal dirt brown to purple with bare cliffs and rock formations being the only features on the planet for miles on end. Even the sky and the clouds were affected having now become dark purple in both night and day.

Still, some small life of Tamaran's former flora can still be found within the royal castle, and some of the fauna still continues to exist. Apparently, its air and atmospheric conditions are similar to that of Earth, since humans from Earth are capable of easily breathing without special equipment. The only known Tamaranean architecture is the Royal Palace.

Culture
Tamaraneans are principally a warrior culture. Children are brought up to be tough and self-reliant; weakness is frowned upon. While personal affection is permissible, it apparently must not be shown in general public, or at least to strangers. Table manners are based on an "all-you-can-get" principle, which to humans would be the equivalent of "pigging out".

Tamaranean Drekzs are classed as "the [more lenient] judges of the universe", as they can show slight emotions, though not much. They don't tend to show affection, though Fade Strike is an exception to this, as he constantly shows affection to both Kyukiitsu Sarkova and Maraia Strike.
