In the year 813, Rao Restorationists detonated phantom-bombs on the Wegthor Lunar Capital, wiping out half the population and neutralizing the Corps' presence in Krypton's system.
Within days, they took control of the WLC's central BRAINIAC terminal and declared martial law.
General Dru-Zod had been the principal operator, serving as prime coordinator and strategist.
Zod's senior paladin; Faora Ul-Tek earned notoriety through her frenzied while her elder sister Quex kept to the shadows.
Proctor Jax-Ur was a rejected El-Hopeful and served as Zod’s commanding sneer for the lower ranks. He lost an eye to Faora's blind savagery.
Field Scribes Ursa Ma-Nel and Tor-An were the only surviving members of their section; the roughly fifty people responsible for installing, arming, and detonating the phantom-bomb array.
Car Vex-Win, the Lesser Commander, was remarkably cold and calculating. She performed her role not with Faora's heated passion or Zod’s solemn zealotry, but with a detached, almost apathetic air of acceptance.
Nam-Ek, disbarred from the House of El due to his illegal and blasphemous experimentation, found solace with the Restorationist cause.
Of the fifty-six Gruntsmen responsible for holding off Wegthor’s authority and destroying critical infrastructure, only two survived; Nadira Ca-Nil, and Gan Gor-Van.
Having been radicalized in his youth, Constable Dev-Em, chief constable of Atoni City, was a ready prospect for the Restorationists. His access to deepband communication systems and his position of high authority was critical for the coup's success, especially as he was able to covertly aid operations from a hidden base on Krypton itself.
The strangest and a most terrifying member of the Restorationists was Non-Od - the Brute. This silent, unthinking thing in Kryptonian flesh would likely have shocked Zod’s great-grandfather into outrage if not outright violence.
Not born of a womb or cloned from noble seed, but instead stitched together in a chamber beneath the city of Kandor, this illegal affront to Rao was a horror-show come to life - an army of one.
Its cells absorbed and saturated young-sun energy nearly five times as well as its compatriots. More loyal than a Fuun, it murdered and destroyed without discrimination or hesitance.
As cruel as Car-Vex or Faora seemed to be, Non-Od was incapable of even contemplating the atrocities it committed.
