Tabbaroth

Repulsive squid-like spawn of Shun'Tabbarkot that were one of the most powerful past races, even going so far as to destabilize the Ancient hegemony that dominated the galaxy for thousands of years.

Conception
A race created out of squid-like creatures by Shun'Tabbarkot to serve him as his priests. Their power came not only from their significant technological advancements, but also that each of their ships received gifts from Shun'Tabbarkot himself, imbuing them with strange power. They first emerged from their native planet and joined the other races, whom Shun'Tabbarkot considered inferior to his own. In response to insults against their creator, the Tabbaroth made war with the Ancients and their subordinates. The Ancients constructed mythical Stations to counteract the Old power wielded by the Tabbaroth, but never made use of them. The Ancients defeated the Tabbaroth, and Shun'Tabbarkot did not annihilate them due to the sympathy held for them by his half-brother Fon'Tdak.

Disappearance
After Zykezx's Conquest, The Other and The One traveled to each of the major Old Beings and offered them a choice: surrender their power and take mortal form, or be imprisoned. Shun'Tabbarkot chose his imprisonment without a fight, and descended into his black temple on his hidden world, telling the Tabbaroth "do not let them disturb my slumber." The Tabbaroth withdrew from the galaxy, and lived in peace on their secret world.

Reemergence
Facing off against the Inferus on one of the Ancients' Stations, Guardian Danyg communicated with an entity revealed to be the Artificial Intelligence Monitor Warden 031mw who had once betrayed the Ancients to the Inferus, now promising Danyg salvation. He teleports Danyg to safety on an unknown world, and Danyg stumbles upon the temple of Shun'Tabbarkot, provoking the wrath of Tabbaroth. They chase him from their planet and encounter the rest of the galaxy's inhabitants. Instead of merely aiding against the Third Inferus Outbreak, the Tabbaroth also take advantage to conquer the galaxy. They destroy many nations until Danyg and Takara release the Other, who undoes all of these destructive events.

When the Other has undone this conquest, the remaining Tabbaroth finally find themselves weakened enough to discuss terms. They reveal to Danyg that they have some captives, including Fenrin and Skorio from the final fight. Danyg hitches a ride with the Guardian to his ship, then goes to meet the Tabbaroth survivors.
