Faunus

**Commander Faunus** was the Imperium soldier left in charge of the farming village on Veldt while the *King's Gaze* departed for other purposes until the wheat harvest. He was portrayed by Brandon Auret in *A Child of Fire*.

## Biography

Faunus was a ranking officer aboard the *King's Gaze* during Admiral Atticus Noble's mission of hunting down the Bloodaxe insurgents at the far edge of the realm. Taking longer than anticipated, they arrived in the system containing the gas giant, Mara, which had an inhabited moon where they could stop to restock their food supplies. Faunus was part of the landing crew, who was then tasked with remaining on the moon until it was time for harvest. He commanded the 13-man team with the support of a Jimmy, JC-1435, who set themselves up in one of the houses. That evening, his men kidnapped the local farm girl, Sam, with the intention of having their way with her. Kora heard Sam's cries for help and confronted the soldiers, showing an unexpected mastery of combat. Private Aris, who opposed the actions of the other men, supported Kora's fight, and together they took down all but Faunus, who used Sam as a human shield. JC-1435 approached and Faunus commanded the unit to kill Kora and Aris. Unbenknownst to Faunus, the Jimmy had already started forming his own thoughts thanks to the encouragement of Sam, and instead, he shot Faunus, killing him.

## Equipment

* **Lava cork pistol**: Faunus carried a standard-issue pistol during his duties as an Imperium officer.

Urakis

**Urakis** (pronounced yoo-rah-kee) were a species of horse-like animal native to Veldt. They were easily tamed by the people of Veldt and were commonly used to travel between towns or pull heavy machinery. They appeared at multiple points throughout *Rebel Moon — Part One: A Child of Fire*. Real horses were outfitted with greenscreen face and tail coverings so the urakis could be seen interacting with the ground and riders, while also being given CG features so the final result would come across as alien animals that felt real.

## Biology

Urakis were large, quadrupedal, hooved animals. They were easily strong enough to carry a human rider and they were passive enough to be tamed and used for labor, such as for transport or pulling heavy objects. They had short tails and thick face shields made of bone. They had two eyes on each side of their face and were light brown in color, commonly with white areas and blond or white manes. Urakis were native to the Maran moon, Veldt.

## History

Urakis were a common part of Veldtian culture, having been integrated into travel and farming. Uraki dung was used to make fertilizer that would smell of tree bark and summer beetles. Kora used a uraki to support her work in tilling the land in the farming village where she found herself after fleeing the Imperium. Shortly after, she and Gunnar rode a pair of urakis to Providence, which was a two-day uraki ride away from the village. When returning to Providence from offworld with a larger group, they were able to secure a larger set of six urakis to make their way back to the village.

## Known urakis

Gunnar's uraki was recognizable for its damaged face plate, which was slightly asymetrical.

Motherworld

The **Motherworld** was the collection of planets where the Imperium was headquartered. The dominant religion was that of the Scribes. The world was once the peak of civilization, but since the death of the royal family, that focus was lost, leaving the art and technology to stagnate and deterioriate. The planet orbits a pair of stars. 1,886 kings ruled in unbroken succession until the bloodline was finally severed.

The Motherworld appeared in *A Child of Fire*.

Daram

The **daram** () is the currency of the realm, created by the Imperium for use in Imperium-controlled territory. They come in copper, silver, and gold-colored coins, however, the value of each is currently unknown.

## History

Darams were used throughout the galaxy. Kai was given a pouch of darams after turning over a bounty to the Hawkshaws in Providence, shortly after which, Gunnar paid for his and Kora's carbosts with a few of the copper-colored coins. Tarak owed a life debt of 300,000 to Hickman, which was gambled away in exchange for Tarak taming a bennu.

## Types

**Copper-colored coins**: Not much is known about the value of these coins at this time, however, three copper coins was what Gunnar paid for two carbosts. These are the smallest of the three known dilineations of the daram.

**Silver-colored coins**: Silver traditionally representing more value than copper, and these coins also being larger than the copper ones, it's likely that these were more valuable.

**Gold-colored coins**: Gold traditionally representing the highest value, these coins are likely the most valuable of the known daram coins.

Ximon

**Ximon** was a large man who lived in Providence and acted as a fixer for Gunnar when Gunnar needed to sell the Veldtian farming village's excess wheat. He was portrayed by Christopher Matthew Cook in *Rebel Moon — Part One: A Child of Fire*, who was credited as "Giant Man," but the novelization provides the name of "Ximon."

## Biography

Ximon connected Gunnar with Devra and Darrian Bloodaxe when the former was seeking buyers for his village's surplus wheat. The Bloodaxes needed food for their rebels, so they struck a deal. When the Imperium, against whom the Bloodaxes were rebelling, came to Gunnar's village during the next season, Kora and Gunnar sought Ximon out once more in the hopes that he could connect them with the Bloodaxes to ask for their help. They were too late as the arrival of the Imperium brought the Hawkshaws, as well, who were also looking for any information they could sell to the Imperium. Kai sold Ximon out to the Hawkshaws in Providence just moments before Kora and Gunnar could find him. They hauled him away with ecto-restraints to bring him to Admiral Atticus Noble. When they arrived at the *King's Gaze*, Noble briefly interrogated Ximon, who gave up the location of the rebels. Mostly satisfied with his answer, Noble used a bolt gun to sever Ximon's spinal cord and had Cassius take his body in so his brain could be dissected for further information.

Rebel Moon 3

A yet-untitled **third *Rebel Moon* movie** is currently in the scripting stage. Not many details have been confirmed about this film, but it will feature Vanna, which is the moon for which the franchise is named. When speaking about films following the first two, Zack Snyder noted that he wouldn't love passing them on to another director, indicating he'd likely direct this movie.

## Production

First revealed in a preview article for *Empire* #417 in late June of 2023, at least two *Rebel Moon* movies were said to be on the way after *A Child of Fire*. A few days later, another article, also promoting the *Rebel Moon*-covered *Empire* issue, noted that the third movie would feature the "rebel moon." News of any movement didn't come until the premiere of *A Child of Fire* on December 1, 2023, with *The Hollywood Reporter* confirming the movie to be in the script stage.

Zack Snyder suggested that this would be the first in a trilogy of films.

Helika

**Colonel Helika** was a tall woman working under Regent Balisarius' Imperium. She appeared in *House of the Bloodaxe* #1.

## Biography

> "It is clear to all, especially our Regent Balisarius, that order must be restored with a show of unrelenting force against these murderous Tarungtusa savages."
>
> Colonel Helika, House of the Bloodaxe #1

When the royal family was assassinated, Colonel Helika was tasked with dealing with the issue on the planet Shasu. She delivered the news to Lord Shasu, Yisrael Bloodaxe, whose people she was there to hunt down. Among the Tarungtusa of Shasu were believed to be the Black Mountain rebels of Sharaan who had orchestrated the attack.

Jimmy

**JC-1435**, known more simply as **Jimmy**, was a sentient machine who, centuries ago, defended a since-slain king as part of the Mechanicas Miltarium. He was voiced by Anthony Hopkins and will make his debut in *A Child of Fire*. According to Dustin Ceithamer, who portrayed the physical form of Jimmy alongside Hopkins' voice, filming for Jimmy lasted six months. Chris Glenn was one of the concept artists behind the character.

## Biography

> "I was given memories of a world I will never see, loyalty to a king I cannot serve, and love for a child I could not save."
>
> Jimmy, Rebel Moon

JC-1435 was one of several identical androids created to defend the king of the galactic empire. They were collectively known as the Jimmys. Centuries later, he was repurposed by the Imperium to do their heavy-lifting and was brought to Veldt when their forces demanded the moon's harvest. Private Aris activated him and politely requested his services, which Jimmy was happy to perform. Marcus was excited to be left a Jimmy and showed off the Jimmys' unwillingness to fight by firing on him, knocking him into a pile of uraki dung, but Jimmy, as expected, did not fight back. He was befriended by Sam, a local farm girl, while he was cleaning himself off in the river. He told her the story of the slain king and the princess, Issa, and she changed his outlook on his own existence. She reminded him of Princess Issa, who he was programed to love and protect, but who was assassinated all the same. When Sam was taken by the military unit Jimmy was meant to serve, Faunus commanded Jimmy to kill Kora and Aris while using Sam as a human shield. Jimmy made his own decision and chose to fire on Faunus, instead, after which he fled from the town.

Jimmy ventured out into the wilds of Veldt, found the corpse of a snow-elk in a forest, and took its antlers as a crown. This was reminiscent of a crown of daisies Sam had made for him, at least on the fundamental level of fashioning something natural into a crown.

## Relationships

**Sam** befriended Jimmy during his time on Veldt, giving him a daisy chain that stirred something in his mechanical mind.

Maggot

“**The maggots feed only on dead and dying tissue**,” she explains. “They have no interest in the healthy flesh, so when all the dead tissue has been removed, they stop eating.” Maggots not only consume the dead tissue, but they also eat bacteria that might be growing in the wound, which further helps healing.Apr 8, 2017
Bone staff

The **bone staff** was a holy relic of the first king, passed down through the generations of the Motherworld.

## History

When the first king of Moa was young, he was supposedly carried across the desert by a giraffe-like creature. It's unknown if the legend was true, but the staff was said to be made from the femur of this animal, then passed down through the generations. 1,186 kings ruled in unbroken succession, passing the staff down until landing in the hands of the slain king. The final king was assassinated, the staff shattered, and from its remains, the Golden Scepter was crafted. A replica of the original, the Golden Scepter contained a fragment of the original staff in its head. The Scribes carried the replica from world to world for Admiral Atticus Noble, who used it on many occasions to bash in the skulls of the kings and other leaders who opposed the Imperium in any way. Regent Balisarius also had a replica of the bone staff in the form of a cane.

## Variants

* **Golden Scepter**: The Golden Scepter was a gilded replica of the original bone staff created after the slain king's death to carry on what the shattered original staff meant to the Motherworld. It contained a fragment of the original staff in its head, while the shaft was inscribed with the final five lines of "The Second Coming" by William Butler Yeats. It was considered to be a holy relic of the Motherworld. Atticus Noble used this weapon to knock out the teeth of world leaders for the collection of the Scribes, who added them to the *Book of Law*.

Hawkshaws

**Hawkshaws** were bounty hunters that worked for the Imperium. They sought people that had knowledge desired by the Imperium and specific individuals with bounties on their heads, turning these people over to the Imperium for payment. They were a major element of the climax of *Rebel Moon — Part One: A Child of Fire*.

## History

Hawkshaws were bounty hunters that worked specifically for the Imperium. Simeon paid Kai for information about a man who knew of the Bloodaxe insurgents' location, which was very valuable information to Admiral Atticus Noble, who was seeking the Bloodaxes at the time. Kai delivered the man at a brothel in Providence and Simeon's crew brought him to the *King's Gaze* to retrieve their reward. They weren't done working with Kai, who teamed once more with Simeon to capture a set of very valuable bounties. After Kai met Kora in the very brothel where the previous man had been captured, he realized that her goals could lead to gathering a collection of known fugitives with the right push. Kai provided that push, using his knowledge of the fugitives in the area to propose candidates for Kora's revolution, and once they were all gathered, he sprung his trap. He captured the group, consisting of Darrian Bloodaxe, Tarak Decimus, the assassin known as Nemesis, Titus, and the most valuable of them all, Kora, herself - known to the Imperium by the name of Arthelais the Scargiver. He brought this group to Simeon, who had arranged to deliver them to Noble on Gondival, though the fugitives fought back and took down several of the Hawkshaws, including Simeon.

## Members

Simeon's group of Hawkshaws was comprised of several members of his own race as well as a human or two.

Kai

**Kai** was a mercenary pilot on Veldt when Kora started building a resistance group and needed his Tawau-class freighter to help find new allies across the stars. Kai was portrayed by Charlie Hunnam in *A Child of Fire*.

## Biography

Born on the planet Saaldorun, Kai grew up on that world. It was later destroyed by an Imperium dreadnought, teaching Kai a life lesson that he would take to his grave: Don't join the wrong side of history. From then on, he lived for himself. Selfish and detached from those around him, he used others for his own gain. When a group of Hawkshaws were looking for information they could provide to the representatives of the Motherworld in exchange for a few darams, Kai led them to a man with knowledge of the Bloodaxe insurgents for a cut of their profits. Another pair of travelers, Kora and Gunnar, also happened to be looking for that same man, seeking the same information he had, though, for another purpose. They wanted to find the insurgents to ask for their help. Seeing an opportunity in them, Kai saved Kora's life when Dash Thif came to take it from her and offered to take them where they wanted to go.

They were looking for the ex-general, Titus, who they heard was last seen on Pollux. Titus had an enormous bounty on his head, but Kai was also aware of a couple of other bounties with similar ideals; those of Tarak Decimus and Nemesis, both wanted by the Imperium. If Kai would be able to support Kora's goals by finding these fugitives, Kora might be able to bring them aboard Kai's ship to become revolutionaries, and as a result, Kai might be able to turn them over to the Imperium, himself. He did just that, also teaming up with Darrian Bloodaxe along the way, but Kai also realized that Kora was known by another name. Kora was Arthelais, the most wanted fugitive in the universe. He called upon the services of Simeon's group of Hawkshaws to deliver this entire group to Admiral Atticus Noble for the score of a lifetime. He misjudged Gunnar's cowardice, however, allowing Gunnar the chance to save Kora from her shackles and take Kai's life, instead.

## Abilities

* **Pilotry**: Kai was a skilled pilot, using his freighter to carry people and goods from planet to planet.

## Equipment

* **Tawau-class freighter**: Kai owned his own starship, which he used in his profession as a mercenary pilot.

Memory manipulation

Behind the scenes photo

**Memory manipulation** was the ability to implant memories into another person. It was an ability associated with the Scribes, who used the technique to record history, writing select memories from their own minds onto living humans, then trapping those humans in stasis as pages in history. This ability will be shown in *Rebel Moon*.

## Skill users

**Scribes** used memory manipulation to record and control history, using their own memories to write the politically-convenient history into living humans before locking them in stasis as pages in the historical record.
Rebel Moon — Part Two: The Scargiver

***Rebel Moon — Part Two: The Scargiver*** is the second part of the upcoming two-part film directed by Zack Snyder and written by Snyder, Shay Hatten, and Kurt Johnstad. The film will be produced by Deborah Snyder, Zack Snyder and Wesley Coller of The Stone Quarry and Eric Newman of Grand Electric and will be released by Netflix on April 19, 2024.

An extended director's cut will be released with 45-60 minutes of footage filmed exclusively for the longer version, which will go deeper into the character dynamics and backstories than the casual viewer may be interested in seeing, but will provide an extra layer for fans.

## Synopsis

*The story is set in motion when a peaceful colony on the edge of the galaxy is threatened by the armies of a tyrannical regent named Balisarius. Desperate people dispatch a young woman with a mysterious past to seek out warriors from neighboring planets to help them make a stand.*

--Official press release synopsis

## Plot

*The Scargiver* begins at the time of the wheat harvest on Veldt. The residents prepare for the return of the Imperium, which turns into a battle for the fate of the planetoid.

## Production

### Development

On February 3, 2022, *Production Weekly* confirmed *Rebel Moon* would be released in two parts, filmed back to back from April 18 to November 4 of that year.

After *Rebel Moon — Part One: A Child of Fire* received an estimated $18,488,000 California Film Commission tax credit with $83 million in approved spending, *Part 2* received another $16,618,000 estimated credit with $83 million in approved spending. As noted on the *A Child of Fire* page, approved spending typically accounts for about two-thirds of a film's total budget, which indicates the budget for each film is $125 million.

### Casting

Limited casting information has been presented specifically for *The Scargiver*. Most of the main cast from *A Child of Fire* are likely to be in *The Scargiver* as well, but few have been confirmed.

### Filming

As part of the third round of the California Film & TV Tax Credit Program 3.0, *Part 2* had to have started filming after June 2022. It's unclear specifically when due to the back-to-back nature of filming with *Rebel Moon — Part One: A Child of Fire*. Filming wrapped on November 30, 2022.

Devra Bloodaxe

**Devra Bloodaxe** was Darrian Bloodaxe's sister, and together, the pair was known as the Bloodaxes. They were known for successfully attacking the Imperium a number of times. Devra was played by Cleopatra Coleman in *Rebel Moon*, and will also star in the comic series, *Rebel Moon: House of the Bloodaxe*.

## Biography

Devra was a member of the Bloodaxe family born and raised on the planet Shasu. She became a member of the Black Mountain rebels and eventually led the Bloodaxe insurgents to a few small victories over the forces of the Motherworld. At one point, the group purchased grain from Gunnar, who later sought their support in defending his home, offering to pay them, again, in the surplus of grain they were growing in the Veldtian farming village. By that time, the Bloodaxes were settled on the planet Sharaan, where King Levitica's kindness was enough to sustain the needs of the insurgents, so she refused the call. Her brother, Darrian, was warmer to the farmer's needs, and took those among the rebellion who were willing to fight for the threatened moon, knowing they'd never be able to stand up to an Imperial dreadnought. Meanwhile, realizing that Gunnar's group discovering their location on Sharaan would mean Admiral Atticus Noble of the Imperium wouldn't be far behind, Devra moved her people away from the planet.

## Abilities

* **Leadership**: Devra led the Bloodaxe rebels against the seemingly endless power of the Imperium. She used logic to gain tactical victories against the much more powerful opponent.
* **Bilingualism**: Devra spoke the mother tongues of both her peoples: English and Zahrani.

Beatrice

> "I'm not going to hurt you. You're far from home and so am I. You and I, we are alike. We've been hurt. Betrayed. Our trust has been broken. We both know fear. Yet, the biggest fear we both face is the fear of ourselves."

> Tarak to Beatrice, A Child of Fire

**Beatrice** was a black bennu that was imported to Neu-Wodi, finding herself under the care of a rancher who didn't know how to handle her. Beatrice's name was first revealed by VFX supervisor, Marcus Taormina via his LinkedIn account.

## Biography

While the bennus were not native to Neu-Wodi, Hickman won her in a bet on Samandrai and brought her back to his ranch. When a group of rebels came to the town looking for fighters, the rancher's indentured servant, Tarak, was given a chance at freedom. Ride Beatrice and he would be free to join them - fail and the rebels would join him in chains. Tarak was able to calm Beatrice, free her from her shackle, and ride her into the sky. This process bonded her to him, unbenknownst to Hickman, who believed her to be tamed for any rider after that point. When he later mounted her, she threw him off and dug her claws into his torso.

## Abilities

* **Bennu physiology**: As a bennu, a large, griffin-like beast, Beatrice was very strong. It took several men to hold her down, which they had to do from a distance due to her long reach and whip-like tail. Her broad wings enabled her to fly, even while carrying a human passenger.

## Relationships

**Tarak** was the only person capable of taming Beatrice. He calmed her enough to allow him to jump onto her back, after which she struggled to throw him off. Failing to do so, she bonded with him.

Humans

**Humans** were a dominant species throughout the galaxy, spread across multiple planets with many different cultures. Despite there not necessarily being a planet Earth (the real-world planet of origin for humans) in the *Rebel Moon* franchise, franchise creator Zack Snyder has referred to characters as human.

## Biology

Humans have intelligence far beyond that of the other animals, allowing for much greater intraspecies communication and technological development, ultimately enabling them to become a dominant force in the galaxy. Their sprawling societies allow them to prosper amongst large communities of like-minded individuals working toward the same broad goals.
Slain king

The **slain king** was a character who appeared in both *A Child of Fire* and *The Scargiver*, portrayed by Cary Elwes. This character was slain five years prior to the events of the films, who the Jimmys served as loyal soldiers and whose legacy Balisarius supposedly upholds.

## Biography

The final king in a line of 1,886 was focused on the ruthless expansion of the Imperium's reach until the birth of his daughter, Princess Issa. In her, he saw a brighter future for the universe and hoped she would bring about a compassion long lost in the ways of the galactic empire. He christened an imperial dreadnought as a vessel of peace, at which point Balisarius teamed with with a coalition of senators and other powerful figures of the Motherworld to assassinate the royal family, naming himself Regent in their absence.

## Equipment

* **Bone staff**: A holy relic from the earliest history of Moa, the staff was said to be from the femur of an animal that carried the first king across the desert. It was passed down through the generations until landing in the slain king's hands.

Balisarius

**Regent Balisarius** was a tyrant in charge of interstellar armies for the Imperium. He was portrayed by Fra Fee in *Rebel Moon*. A series covering Balisarius' backstory has been planned, but it hasn't been officially announced.

## Biography

Balisarius was a loyal soldier of the Imperium, eventually working his way up to a high rank. He was known as a war hero who preferred fighting alongside his men rather than leading from above. He led an attack on Kora's homeworld and apparently saw something in her when he found her there as a child. Rather than killing her with the rest, he decided to take her in and adopt her as his own daughter. He renamed her "Arthelais," raised her aboard his Imperial dreadnought, and had her trained in the ways of the Imperium. He used his influence to give her advantages over her fellow graduates from the Academy Militarium and, alongside her own militaristic accomplishments, this granted her a position among the elite guards of the royal family. It was while she was Princess Issa's personal bodyguard that Balisarius, with the support of senators and other high-profile individuals of the Motherworld, launched an assassination plot on the royal family, killing the king, the queen, and Arthelais' charge, Issa. Balisarius used these assassinations to name himself the regent of the realm.

Distraught, Arthelais abandoned her post and became the most wanted fugitive in the universe. Later, Balisarius tasked Admiral Atticus Noble with hunting down the Bloodaxe insurgents at the far edge of the realm. It was here, out in this distant system that Noble found Arthelais, now going by the alias "Kora," but he failed to capture her. He reported this news to Balisarius, who updated Noble's goals. Hunt down each and every member of the Bloodaxe revolution and bring his precious child, Arthelais, back to him so that he could hang her for her treachery under the shadow of the senate.

Bloodaxe family

The **Bloodaxe family** were the rulers of the planet Shasu for the past fifty years. They were predominantly a Tarungtusa family native to Shasu. Their history will be told through the comic miniseries, *Rebel Moon: House of the Bloodaxe*, but the modern Bloodaxes will appear in *A Child of Fire*.

## History

### Conquer of Shasu

Fidel, who would later come to be known as Koseba the Conqueror, was a Motherworlder stationed at a Shasu outpost. He was a low-ranked officer, but took charge during the Digger's Uprising, saving the outpost. For this, he earned the title of Feodom Shasu, the leader of the outpost with the right to join the Assembly. He married Hiraat, a woman from one of the most powerful Tarungtusan tribes, changed his name to Koseba, and took in the Tarungtusan culture. He conquered Shasu and, with the support of his wife, brought peace to the world under his leadership.

Bulgurr

**Bulgurr** byl Wookiee z Coruscantu, senátní gardista a později kapitán stráží. Působil dojmem zabijáka, ale dokázal si udržet chladnou hlavu, byl vegetarián, pil maximálně Duff light a pral se vysloveně nerad. Pevně věřil v ideály Republiky a hnusila se mu byť jen představa diktatury.

## Historie

Narodil se v roce 206 BBY a odmalička kráčel ve stopách svého otce Zaatara, kterému svými úspěchy ve škole a později na gardistické akademii dělal radost. Po promoci nastoupil ke strážím, hlídal senátora za sektor Mytaranor a i když byl při potírání zločinu v okolí Senátu občas až zbytečně mírný, byl na něj spoleh a skvěle si vedl i v několika přestřelkách.

Roku 118 BBY převzal post kapitána chlupatých stráží v Senátu po otci, který z funkce odešel souběžně s nástupem nového senátora Yaruy, a ač mnozí mrmlali, že je to protekce, na novém místě se brzy osvědčil.

V roce 106 BBY dostal bratra Fatayyra, s nímž ale nikdy nenašel společnou řeč a pro pracovní vytíženost ho ani příliš nevídal. Věnoval se zejména hlídání nejdůležitější budovy Republiky a přilehlých pozemků, ale také výcviku nových kadetů, s nimiž po trénincích občas zašel na Duff light a kus řeči do nedaleké restaurace. Přestože na soukromý život prakticky rezignoval, velmi se mu zamlouvala Yaruova asistentka Kerberra, dcera urozených diplomatů z Kashyyyku, a příležitostně se jí dvořil.

Roku 46 BBY ji požádal o ruku, vzali se a o deset let později spolu měli dvojčata Merumeccu a Quaylemeccu.

Posilování pravomocí nejvyššího kancléře v letech před válkou klonů mu dělalo velké starosti, ale říkal si, že do toho nemá co mluvit.

Svou funkci zastával svědomitě až do konce války klonů, kdy krátce po otcově smrti a vlastní aktivní účasti v bitvě o Coruscant preventivně odeslal svoji poslušnější dceru do bezpečí na Kashyyyk a přišel tam o ni. Sám přežil masakr gardistů po vyhlášení Impéria, jehož byl svědkem Wyrrgy, neboť byl tou dobou mimo službu. Štěstí mu ale vydrželo jen pár hodin, následně byl ve vykonstruovaném procesu obviněn z vraždy trandoshanského diplomata a odsouzen k doživotním nuceným pracím v coruscantských slévárnách.

V roce 10 BBY se ho Merumeccu pokoušela zachránit a odvézt na Alaris Prime, ale byla při pokusu odhalena a Bulgurr padl, když ji z posledních sil bránil.

Veldt

**Veldt** was a settlement known mostly for farming. It's where the protagonists of *Rebel Moon — Part One: A Child of Fire* started their journey when the Imperium arrived for their food. It was a natural satellite orbiting Mara, a gas giant at the edge of the galaxy.

## Culture

Veldt was primarily rural, with small towns and homesteads spread out a ways from the central port city of Providence. The city, itself, was filled with many cultures passing through, but in the smaller villages, the people were more rustic. The land was rich and fertile, allowing for easy farming with high yields, even without farming robots, which would have separated the people from the sacred land that gave them life, and so they preferred to work the land with their own hands. The wealthy lived in large mansions outside Providence's walls, but often kept smaller homes within the city where they could stay when in town, which was common for their business. English was the predominant language, though others were also common in Providence.

The people of Veldt commonly ate stout bread with sweet butter, root vegetables, fish, and snow-elk with ale and summer berry wine. They had longhouses that they used for town gatherings, such as celebrations for the passing of seasons or to discuss problems facing the town. They believed in multiple gods who valued the act of lovemaking as an offering for the harvest. A male village leader was known as the village father.

## Trivia

* The name of the settlement may be a reference to the Ray Bradbury short story "The Veldt," which is based around the premise of a pair of parents losing control of their technological home, the latter of which is slowly taking over their role as parents due to the parents' lack of oversight for their rebelling children. Zack Snyder was set to adapt this story, among others, in his film adaptation of Bradbury's *The Illustrated Man*.

Mireea

**Mireea** was the planet that housed Sharaan. **Sharaan** was a kingdom with a 10,000 year-old civilization up until it came crashing down at the hands of the Imperium. When its final king, Levitica, offered safe haven to the Bloodaxe insurgents in line with the Sharaanic culture that valued charity, this set a course for the planet's end. Admiral Atticus Noble learned of the insurgents' stay on the planet and razed the planet with the *King's Gaze*.

## Culture

The people of Sharaan believed in honor and charity. They were a spiritual and philosophical society made up of multiple races. Sharaan was the only known inhabited land of Mireea.

Yisrael Bloodaxe

**Yisrael Bloodaxe** was Darrian and Devra Bloodaxe's father. Born to Koseba the Conqueror and Hiraat, he was raised in the Citadel and trained on the Motherworld to take over as leader of the planet Shasu for his father. The culture and work of his wife, Amirami, was all that kept him in power, being mostly separated from the culture of the Tarungtusa that he led.

Yisrael, also known by his title of Lord Shasu, was designed to give the same vibe as Alexander Siddig. He was introduced in *House of the Bloodaxe*, in which he was an integral character.

## Biography

Yisrael was born on Shasu to Koseba the Conqueror and Hiraat, of the Motherworld and the Tarungtusa, respectively. He was raised in the ways of the Motherworld, but returned to Shasu to hunt a kregger, as was a traditional rite of passage of this mother's people. It was durign this hunt that he met Amirami who he would evenatually marry. He inhereted his father's role of Lord Shasu and Amirami helped him keep the Tarungtusan peoples in order until her death. They had two children, Devra and Darrian Bloodaxe.

After Amirami's death, Karmuuk of the Suthen wilderfolk began to plot against Yisrael's rule. The Suthens respected the Bloodaxe, Koseba, and Yisrael's wife of the wilderfolk, herself, but Yisrael was an outsider. Raised on the Motherworld and considered to be soft, without Amirami beside him, they wanted to dethrone him.

Unregistered trade depot

The **unregistered trade depot** was a waystation built into one of the low-orbit moons of Gondival. The station has received thousands of drop-offs and pick-ups for various trades in the system. It was here that the final battle of *Rebel Moon — Part One: A Child of Fire* took place after Kai tricked the Veldt resistance group into landing here under the pretense of unloading a final debt to a buyer.

Lava cork weaponry

**Lava cork weapons** were a type of gun that would superheat metal, then fire it as a molten mass. They were common weapons used throughout the realm by the Imperium and its enemies, alike.

## Handguns

### Guardian gun

The guardian gun was a standard sidearm used by the Imperium soldiers. After taking the role of royal seneschal for Princess Issa, Issa's father, the slain king, gave Arthelais a custom guardian gun inscribed with, "My life for hers," referencing her duty to sacrifice herself for Issa should the need arise.

Den

**Den** was a skilled hunter residing in a Veldtian farming village. He was portrayed by Stuart Martin, who previously played Brad Cage in Zack Snyder's Armyverse, which is connected to *Rebel Moon*.

## Biography

Den lived in the farming village, but would travel out great distances for the hunt. As a hunter for the village, the people relied on him to bring back meat when he could, but the herds of snow-elk were often several days' travel from the village. At the end-of-winter feast after Kora's second season since she arrived in the village, she and Den had a casual sexual encounter. Before the invasion of Veldt caused Kora to depart, Den was interested in marrying her and expressed this to Hagen, who was giving Kora a place to stay at the time.

After Sindri, the village father, was killed by Admiral Atticus Noble, who had come to demand the village's food for his soldiers, the villagers looked to Den to lead them by default. Though he wasn't specifically interested in taking Sindri's place, he appreciated the chance to show his neighbors what he could do beyond the hunt. No election was held, but he became the de facto village leader from then. He was the youngest village leader in the village's history. He was one of the group that departed to collect Kora's ship from where it had crashed two seasons prior in the hopes that it could be used to support their fight against the Imperium forces when Noble returned to collect their harvest.

## Abilities

* **Marksmanship**: Den was a skilled hunter, praised in the village for bringing home snow-elk on which to feast. Hagen noted that Den was the greatest hunter of the village.

## Relationships

**Kora** was important to Den and the two were in a casual relationship. While Kora liked it because it was easy, Den expressed interest in marrying her.

Neu-Wodi

**Neu-Wodi** was one of the important planets in *A Child of Fire*, being the one the Veldt resistance visited to recruit Tarak. The planet features many rocky spikes jutting up from its surface. The arid planet had small settlements and ranches scattered about its surface. Neu-Wodi was inspired by North Africa.

## Peoples and fauna

There are no known natural inhabitants of Neu-Wodi. There were human ranchers that lived on the planet and Hickman imported a bennu from Samandrai. Known to have ranches, it's likely there were other creatures worth taming that were native to the planet.

Bennus

**Bennus** were griffin-like, winged beasts that were large enough to ride. In *A Child of Fire*, Tarak tamed an "unridable" one, Beatrice, on Neu-Wodi, far from her home. A white one will appear in a flashback to the funeral of Tarak's father in *The Scargiver*. Bennus were native to Samandrai.

## Biology

Bennus were large, quadrupedal creatures with clawed forelimbs and wings capable of flight. They had whip-like tails that could be used defensively and their heads featured dark beaks. While powerful, easily capable of ripping a human apart, bennus didn't appear to be aggressive if shown respect. They were not much larger than a horse and similarly capable of being tamed for riding. Bennus were known to be black or white and it's not known if other colors existed. Their upper bodies, including their wings, were feathered, while their lower bodies were covered in short fur.
