The Document showed the Family Tree of King Cez -Arr going back many generations to his Five times Great Grand Father King OX'T - STA. He was the last of the Kings from the STA Clan. Although the STA Clan would still have family links with the ongoing Royal Families of Farllon, OW'T - STA would be the last STA to wear the CROWN. Also this was the King who had on his death had defeated and won more battles than any other before.
From his pocket the Doctor took out some cards and one placed them in front of Jack and Phooey. On each was a picture of the Royal sons of Cez - Arr.... and then the Doctor continued with his story about each of them.
Eldest brother the Crown Prince CEX - ISST. CEX - ISST was the first born of CEZ -ARR and Lady SADE -ISST. Farllon tradition would see a child take the 2nd part of his natural mothers name.
CEX - ISST was descried behind his back by many as, The old and fat and foolish Prince. His appetite for battle was only matched his appetite for Wine, Woman and FOOD. All of which he over indulged in. He had won many battles in his time, but his Father knew that he could have won many more if not for is Drinking.
Prince Cex -Isst |
CEX - ISTT had died in a battle on the Moon of Globbal. He was very much like his father, Shoot first ask questions later. This was a major part of his down fall. He had been sent by The King to destroy a Rebel base that had been set up on Moon of Globbal. Whilst storming the base, his Blaster had misfired and ended up hitting a Plasma Generator by accident. Thus causing not just the destruction of the enemy base on the moon, but the destruction of himself, his troops and his fleet of attack craft. When King CEZ -ARR announced his son's death, he called him a "Great Hero of The Farllon" in public, but in private thought his son was a fat fool, and should never have died in such a pathetic way.
Then CEZ - ARR's 2nd son ZEST - ARR then became the new Crown Prince. His Mother was Princess STARR - ARR, a niece of the King CEZ -ARR... He was the Kings favorite, as he most resembled him. ZEST - ARR had shown great aptitude for warmongering whilst he had commanded the forces on that destroyed the last Ston'apon outpost and strong hold in the Planet Maxiple Prime. This is where he picked up the scar on his cheek.
Prince Zest - Arr |
King CEZ -ARR encouraged fighting between his sons, but was much sadden by his favorite son's death.
3rd Son PINN -ARR became known for being a Mean and Vain. .... He thought he was the most Perfect and Beautiful Person in the Known Universe. He had a sadist streak that frighten most he met. . He was more worried about his own good looks and self preservation to ever lead his Men from the front. In battle PINN - ARR would more than likely be seen standing in front of a mirror in a protected spot plotting .... He was good commanding his generals than to fight harder, which they did not because they respected him, they did it in fear of him. CEZ -ARR had made him head of military intelligence. This allowed PINN -ARR to indulged in his love of torture and causing pain to captured enemy, and anyone he disliked.... or anyone he thought was far too good looking. PINN - ARR hated all his brothers, but hated ZEST - ARR the most. ZEST - ARR's scar made him his imperfect in PINN -ARR's mind. Pefection was everything to PINN - ARR. He had even once beheaded one of his Generals for appearing at a meeting with mud on his boots.
Brother ZEST - ARR and he shared the same birth Mother, and PINN - ARR never liked to share anything
Prince Pinn - Arr.... |
PINN - ARR was later killed by another brother WOO - TAR. After Poison gas had placed in his bath water, causing him to pass out, PINN -ARR was then strangled and drowned. WOO - TARR said he had done this to avenge the killing of their brother PINN -ARR. In fact it was PINN - ARR's distaste of his brothers Artificial Arm that had made these two enemies. Him being a Prince and Imperfect was a step too far for him not to deal with. ..... Unfortunately WOO - TARR dealt with his problem "PINN -ARR" first.
Prince Woo - Tar |
Prince WOO - TAR's Mother was the Grand Duchess MOO - TAR, yet another cousin of the King. WOO -TAR had lost an arm in battle or so he claimed. Had had really lost it in a fight. He had be found out cheating at gambling with members of the Kings body guard. For anyone other than a sibling or parent to kill a Royal Prince would mean the execution of not just the perpetrator, but the death off all of his family and clan. This is why the Body Guard had only cut off the Prince's Arm, as to kill him , would have meant the death of his family as a result. The loss of his arm gave WOO - TAR the advantage, as he had his new bionic arm fitted with many hidden weapons and devices. On the day he was fitted with his new arm, Woo -Tar tested its weaponry when he slaughtered all of the Kings body guard, and some of their family members too. He was pleased with how well it performed, so he had improvements made. He found he liked killing, and wondered if he had a little bit of his brother PINN -ARR's sadist streak in him.
It would be later discovered that WOO - TAR had had ZEST - ARR killed also, and may have had played a part in the death of CEX -ISST too. As he had given his brother the very Blaster that had misfired. WOO -TAR only wanted one thing, the throne and thus became the next Crown Prince.
WOO - TAR decided that his youngest and only remaining brother was not a threat. He was still only a child.... so Crown Prince WOO- TAR the schemer decided to try to kill his own father CEZ - ARR as he wanted the Crown and Throne of The Farllon now, and was not going to wait until his father died of old age or Battle.
After WOO -TAR had killed all of the Royal Body guard many months before, he replaced them with men loyal to him. So he had little issue entering the King's private sleeping quarters a few nights later. WOO - TAR decided to assassinate his father by stabbing him whilst The King slept. Misjudging his attack, WOO -TAR stabbed his father in the eye. Although WOO -TAR managed to take his fathers eye, CEZ - ARR fought back and took his sons life. It is said an enraged CEZ - ARR ripped the of his sons bionic arm and beat him to death with it.
CEZ -ARR commanded that his last remaining son be sent back to The Farllon Home World to protect him. His youngest son was still a child, but CEZ - ARR could not risk that the boy would not grow up and try to kill him also. The King CEZ -ARR would go onto father many more children in his life, but all subsequent children were born female. In Farllon Law only Male offspring could rule. So the Young Crown Prince grew up in safety and seclusion. He used his time to study and learn. He had complete access to all the books and documents held on the Farllon Home World and through out the Realms conquered by the Farllon.. He arranged to have the best scholars and tutors brought from all around the Empire to help him learn. Not all were Farllon. These would included many of captured races of the other Great Houses.
Knowledge was everything to the young Prince. He did not want just to be one day a better King than his Father, he wanted to be the Best King EVER to wear the Crown of Farllon.
It was 20 years later that the King finally summoned his son to return to his side. This was only a few weeks before the King died. CEZ -ARR wanted his son by his side, to show him what totally Victory looked like. He was happy he could be with him as the King planned to destroy the last of the Great Houses.
Moon - Ark had been the first King to take The Farllon into the Great War of the Realms over a estimated Billion Years before.... and Now and now his many times grandson , Cez -Arr would be remembered for being the Farllon King who conquered the whole Galaxy.
