Riptar

Riptar is the founder and Grand Marshall of the Sephrus Militias. 
== Physical Description ==
Riptar is a well built Keplar Rezar, who has undergone partial Thrakk assimilation and as such a large portion of his body is made of or covered with Thrakk cybernetics and machinery. 
Riptar's organic body has brown scales with darker maroon stripes and red feathers and a single yellow eye. 
Riptar's Thrakk body has dark blue, nearly black metallic scales with electric blue stripes, multiple segmentations on his skin under which his Thrakk musculature made of fibrous materials appears. His Thrakk eye is electric blue. 
== History ==
Riptar was a member of the planetary defense force on Fortuna IV when it was forcefully annexed by the Imperium. After the occupation he waged a guerilla war against Imperium forces for some time, before eventually, the Rezar on Fortuna IV turned on his band of guerillas, having succumbed (at least according to him) to Imperium brainwashing. He soon fled the planet with anyone interested, in an exodus to Keplar Prime, where he rallied the rest of his species, along with neighboring independent systems into the Sephrus Militias. 
Knowing that they had no chance in a fight against Imperium Titanuses, Riptar decided to go to the only place where he could find the kind of tech that would help the Militias against the Imperium - The Thrakk. 
He left with an envoy of peace to one of the Thrakk worlds, only for the Thrakk to systemically exterminate every member of his diplomatic mission after brutally experimenting or assimilating them. It is not known how, but Riptar was able to escape the process before it was completed on him, and now being able to interface with the machines, he was able to acquire schematics for planetary cannons that could effectively scuttle Titanuses, with a range that surpassed that of any Titanus' main cannons. 
With the Schematics, Riptar was able to escape the Thrakk planet and return to Keplar Prime, quickly ordering the construction these cannons and sharing the schematics with the rest of the militias. By the time the Imperium had begun encroaching on their territories, a single cannon was already online and was able to critically damage the Titanus belonging to the Imperium Navy, forcing the Imperium to retreat and await reinforcements. 
All capital planets in the Sephrus Militias now have multiple Anti-Titanus cannons spread around their planets, forcing the Imperium to wage its war against smaller planets with much lower yield of population and resources, making the use of their Titanus fleet too costly and inadvisable, basically nullifying the Imperium's major advantage against the Militias. 
Riptar maintains that they have no interest in pushing back against the Imperium, he has declared a line in the sand which he declared the borders of Sephrus Territory, and Sephrus Militias will only fight to protect that line, or, if the Imperium was able to advance past it, to reclaim their territory up to that line. 
In modern times, Sephrus was able to successfully drive the Imperium back past that line, after which point the Imperium 'delegated' the task of expanding into Sephrus territory to their major corporations - Maxicorp, Aerotech and Razorback.
