SPACEKNIGHTS (Galadorans)
The first generation of Spaceknights were recruited from the young men and women of Galador to repel the Dire Wraith fleet that attempted to invade Galador (Rom #1). They were required to take many oaths, including pledges not to take an innocent life and not to use his or her powers for personal glorification. After successfully defeating the Wraiths, these Spaceknights then separately pursued their enemy throughout the cosmos, seeking to eradicate the Dire Wraiths from the universe. Many of those that succeeded returned to Galador, but were cryogenically frozen by Mentus. These Spaceknights were rescued by Rom, only to face Galactus, who ultimately moved Galador to an unknown location. Those Spaceknights then began a quest to locate and return to Galador.

DIRE WRAITHS
The Dire Wraiths were evil, shape-changing aliens from Dark Nebula. It was later revealed that they were a deviant race of Skrulls, transformed by practicing black magic. When the Galadorian fleet entered the Nebula, the Wraiths destroyed it, unprovoked and without warning. They then decided to attack Galador itself. In response, Galador created the Spaceknights who successfully defended the planet.
After the battle, Rom pursued the Dire Wraiths back to the Dark Nebula, driving them off of Wraithworld and scattering them throughout the universe. Realizing a great evil had been unleashed on many innocent, alien worlds, Rom and the other Spaceknights pledged to pursue the Wraiths and exterminate them. This was primarily done by banishing them to Limbo, not killing them. The Wraiths preferred death to banishment because they could still view our reality, but not affect it.
When Rom first came to Earth, there was a sense of distrust between the original Dire Wraiths who had fled Wraithworld and those born on Earth. Later, however, a greater rift reappeared. The female Wraiths preferred the use of sorcery while the males preferred science. It was the males who campaigned to attack Galador and had been unsuccessful in all their attacks against Rom since he arrived on Earth. Therefore, the Wraith witches reasserted their dominance of the species.
In addition to their science vs. sorcery preferences, the males preferred their transitory form while the females preferred their true form. In their true forms, Dire Wraiths could use their barbed tongue to drill into the skull of another being and steal its memories while duplicating its physical form. Whether they used this memory-stealing ability or not, all Waiths could duplicate the form of r virtually any living creature.
Aside from the information above, little is known about Dire Wraith society. They are a secretive race that does not trust outsiders. In fact, they believe they are superior to most other sentient species and will gladly use them as pawns or slaves to further their own plans of conquest.
In general, Dire Wraiths weren't given names (unless it was that of another person whose form they had taken). This was mainly because they were usually killed or banished by the end of a storyline. One major exception was Volx, the Dire Wraith queen/mother, who didn't appear (by name) until well after the Rom series ended.
Typical Dire Wraith (male)
Good [+2] Schemer, Good [+2] Scientific, Good [+2] Bio-engineering,
Poor [-2] Don’t think well for themselves
Good [+2] Shapeshifting Stunt: steal memories, Good [+2] Darkvision, Average [0] Adaptation
Dire Wraiths (female)
Good [+2] Schemer, Good [+2] Arcane Training, Poor [-2] Superiority complex
Good [+2] Shapeshifting Stunt: Steal memories, Good [+2] Sorcery
BTW any requests? I already have on my plate the early FF and villains. The Kree & Skrulls. And the early Avengers.
