## History

Dondaton was originally established as "Ļomae" (meaning "badger" in Kerasonian), a marching and performance band for the Lagenweren Academy. They wanted to emulate the various rock bands of the Galaxy. Bagofen was the lead singer; Himbolen and Vodzhatosh were drummers; Tuperon was a bassist; and Uskazol was the second guitarist when Bagofen used a guitar.

After their successful performance at the Unowane Games, they became local celebrities, before they split up to find better jobs. Bagofen worked at an office; Himbolen worked as a drummer for the Lagenwaren Academy; Tuperon worked at a *koguri* and *pulkotře* farm; Uskazol was a boxer who defeated Randzhiari the Rabid and competed against Varsalios; and Vodzhatosh became a mechanic for flying cars.

They were hired again by the Malendor Supercorporation, where they became a proper rock band that was popular throughout the Galactic Community. The agent Mantarei forced them to join by threatening to kill them should they refuse. Their career began when they performed at a mall against their one-time rivals and street criminals, Jorechur. The band's members were assigned to different planets to prove their worth as musicians.

After their reunion, they were supported by an army of fans, including Tuperon's childhood friend Inzaril. When Uskazol and Tuperon were together, they and several friends formed a temporary band, Vainaraesa, meaning "Good Morning". Inzaril used their fan club's secret videos and photos to punish Mantarei for forcing many musicians from their neighbourhood to form new bands or sending them to perform in dangerous planets. Mantarei was later arrested by a mob of angry fans during a stage performance, and stripped of his prestige and money in a prison colony.

They eventually performed against Kesatre's former success, the rock band Maelar Vî. This band defected to the Hexagon Warlords of northern Novantir.

One of their goals was that just after they would complete their assignments and defeat Maelar Vi, they would spend a while at the Mutlu Son Cafe and the prestigious Dicheritz Hotel.

Envious of their popularity, the Konjor Supercorporation abducted them during one of their performances at Nandegakko, and forced them to perform for Vannikon. During their imprisonment, they were tortured and forced to breed with Vannikon's daughters.

The Dondaton members were freed by Hajogana and his officials when they broke into Vannikon's dungeon, and were sent back to the Malendor authorities to stop an extermination of a star system along the border.
