Editing NECESSARY EVIL in Freedom City SPOILER PAGE (section)

===the Star Lords===
What the 'Star Knight' of the Tyranny Syndicate's Anti-Earth would look like …

Somewhere in the galaxy, a dozen races worked together to design a super-computer named Mentor. Meant to be a benevolent coordinating system for their newly-forged multi-system interstellar rebublic, it turned malignant and seized control, ruthlessly supressing dissent with it's armored 'Star Lords' (each of which was assigned a different planet to oversee / police in it's name). After centuries of rule, a rebellion arose against Mentor, led ironically by it's armored enforcers (who were sick of ruling in *it's* name, and wanted to rule in their own...). Mentor struck out viciously, killing the current Star Lords via cyberneural viruses from within their armor, but was also horribly damaged in the initial attack, and similarly fell into a vicious feedback loop, repeating only it's last command, to kill the rebels, *all* of them... 

Automated drones continued to be manufactured and sent out, and within a matter of days every planet in the Empire was sterilized of life, while the computer system finally burned out. Mentor 'died' without ever seeing his victory, and a dozen worlds became lifeless burnt-out husks. 

A thousand years later, a motley crew of composed of crooks on the run, occasional space pirates, and other scum of space, landed on the home-world, finding that the planet was a lifeless (and mildy radioactive, and toxic) mess, but held the remains of fantastic technology. The automated drones had long since run out of power, as they functioned on broadcast power from stations that had fallen silent, and the opportunistic explorers soon found the remains of the Star Lord armor-suits, fallen in various areas around the central city, where their wearers had succumbed to he cyber-virus. The armors also functioned on broadcast power, and with the failure of Mentor, only one suit, that 'native' to this planet, still functioned. 
It seemed that each suit had an independent power-source, capable of beaming it power at fantastic ranges (not just anywhere on the planet, but anywhere in the same star system!). But these power-sources were located on the home-worlds of the various Star Lords, and their internal reserves only lasted a single day without this power-source. 

The captain took the 'native' suit for himself, and his favored crew-men took the others, and searched the local systems until they located the power-sources to activate their power. Not wanting to remain 'Lords' of a dead set of systems, they excavated the concealed power-batteries from their armored bunkers, and transported them to the worlds that they wished to conquer... 

The Star Lord of Earth is a third-generation space-vermin, wearing thousand year old armor (that thankfully is self-repairing, since they never figured out how to tinker with it) and having hidden his armors 'power-battery' deep within Earth's moon (having blasted a deep chasm on the dark side to hold it, and then sealed it over with lunar regolith, burying it from sight). 

But the above? Just a prequel. I never cared for one sentence in the Anti-Earth write up, the sentence stating that 'the only real hero on Anti-Earth is Mind-Master.' 

the 'heroes' of Anti-Earth, the League of Order .
