Napther

Originally appearing as a Starmade player in 2314 also joining the Skywanderer community recently. Napther is creator and sole owner of the (to be) cross-game NPC faction/ship manufacturer Kaiju Design Initiative, or KDI. The name of "Napther" coming from the petrochemical Naphtha and relates to the name of the heavy-set blue dragon he uses as an avatar.
Napther is mostly a Wanderer, usually appearing in a solo faction using the name of his NPCs though has rarely surfaced actually inside various large factions; With the first being Imperium, owned by Raiben. He was promoted to Moderator on Shattered Skies and ran various random events and give-aways without the use of a wrapper, due to the server closing approximately 4-5 months later. During the Starmade Fleet Contest, Napther received 1-1 build advice from Raiben, and helped create and system the Senrai Mining Consortium (SMC). The Senrai later appear as a confirmed lore element of Skywanderers.
After having his builder potential Unlocked, Napther created the KDI NPCs as they stand today making use of spaced armour in order to disguise their simpler shapes and lack of external greebles. from 5 initial vessels: the Havoc II, Chaosweaver, Ridgeback, Bowhead, and Trapezoid, the fleet now spans over 25 vessels and alternate variants.
The next major faction was Event Horizon. Despite working their best for that faction, he was disgraced from it, with a deteriorating attitude to certain individuals as well as allies as the source. Shortly after, Event Horizon flipped from being neutral back to being allied with the Vaygr Empire and Odium as a whole. This turn of events sparked a deep grudge in him against the faction.
Napther appeared later under the Alias of Dirk having been secretly recruited to the albeit temporary reformation of Thrynn under Jaaskinal on LvD. After a few unsuccessful prototypes, the Retaliator - a large missile-ambusher class with huge modified VLS turrets - fulfilled his purposes of getting revenge multiple times on Event Horizon, destroying various assets, damaging 1, and destroying a second prized flagship of Event Horizon, the Hammer, with Intel from FlyingDebris. Activity after this point diminished rapidly in the advent of the Power 2.0, and the pre-alpha release of Skywanderers.
In January of 2317, Napthir returns to starmade, now under the banner of MercDragon.
