"My scales are thousand-fold shields, my teeth are swords, my claws spears, the shock of my tail a thunderbolt, my wings a hurricane! And my breath? Death!" – Ghidorah to an enemy army

A very controversial figure in the Armada, Ghidorah, or Queen Ghidorah as she likes to be called, is a self-proclaimed goddess. She is the oldest member of the zravvisk species alive today, at 20,000 years old. While she has just recently rejoined the Armada, her god complex and reactionary views clash with the modern Armada heavily. Though her divinity is very much under debate, those that met her say that her sheer size and golden scales almost as radiant as all the gold jewelry she wears that could crush a man makes an convincing argument.


















Early Life
Being that she is from the era of the Armada from which no records either survived or are readable, it is impossible to know much about her early life. Even Ghidorah herself admits that she does not remember much of her childhood, but she is adamant that her parents must have been gods as well to birth her. The Armada is skeptical of that last claim.
Becoming a Goddess
Ghidorah was separated from the Armada during one of their many failed colonization attempts when a local power drove them off the planet. During the battle, it is said that she fell unconscious and fell into a volcano where she spent the rest of the battle. She only emerged after long after the battle was over, and both sides were long gone.

It is said that she went down to the local native village and began terrorizing it, likely both out of rage at the battle and the fact that zravvisk of that time were much more aggressive than the modern semi pacifists. Being pre-industrial people that barely got out of hunting and gathering, they were helpless against a zravvisk. Eventually the people tried appeasing her with a sacrifice. It worked, she found the practice curious and spent her time trying to figure out why they would tie up their own and put him in the open covered in gold and jewelry. She eventually took him back to her volcano home.

Eventually she returned to the village calmer and watched them. While she kept her distance, the villagers became unnerved at her constant presence considering the damage she had caused. They eventually made a statue of her, hoping it would please her. Amused by this, she stayed around and started interacting with the locals, surprising many when she revealed that she learned a bit of their language.

Soon rumors started spreading that she was a goddess, especially after she single handedly annihilated an entire enemy army. Worship of her continued as well as periodic sacrifice, assuming that they would please her. Ghidorah with her poor gasp of their language did not understand what they were doing. Out of boredom she began helping with physical tasks such as plowing fields. As she spent much of her time in a volcano, she was covered in fertile volcano ash that fell off as she helped or flew over. As the locals noticed that fields she spent time near had better harvests, they assumed it was a blessing of hers, strengthening worship.

With her cult growing, they declared her the god queen of their village turned city. Amused at the villagers thinking she was a goddess of the volcano, she accepted. However, as millennia of worship and living longer than any zravvisk should set in, she began believing it herself. Especially once she started outgrowing all but the largest monuments. As god queen, her rule has been quite well for her people as she quite genuinely cares for their wellbeing. Using her unrivaled wealth, she funds all manner of projects and uses her massive size to do large scale projects like digging canals or flattening roads by herself. With her help, the village has turned into the most powerful and prosperous empire on her world.

On the other claw, tales of her merciless are widespread though those that oppose her. One rival empire that invaded her people soon found their capital city being visited by her. The rumor goes that she blocked all escape from the city by destroying all the gates then walked through the city and any buildings in her way to the palace. After destroying it, she turned her attention to the city and its citizens. The grand city of millions was reduced to rubble and only a few survivors who fled to the rest of the empire and other nations telling tales of the utmost cruelty and sadism she displaced. How much of it is true and how much is exaggeration is unknown. She is also one of the few zravvisk that has an acquired taste for sapient beings. She finds them tolerable rather than horrible as most zravvisk do, through eating countless soldiers and civilians when she destroyed hostile armies or cities reasoning it would reduce the burden of feeding her on her people.
Return to the Armada
As the twentieth millennia of her time on the planet started to close Ghidorah felt a longing to return to the stars and spent more time in orbit around the planet. Then the Armada of the Zravvisk returned. Now the Armada had visited the planet many times before since they left her there, but it seemed like they always arrived and left while she was taking a long nap in her volcano home. The Armada heard about her cult and interacted with its followers but paid it little mind since dragon cults always sprung up on planets that they visited. Both sides were stunned, Ghidorah in seeing her old countrymen and the zravvisk in seeing Ghidorah much bigger than was thought possible for zravvisk.

She agreed to rejoin the Armada to settle the longing she had for the stars, but tensions immediately flared as she thought that as a goddess it was only natural for her to rule the Armada. The zravvisk refusing her claim of divinity, were offended that someone that couldn’t even qualify to join any of the ruling councils thought that she had any claim on the position of chief. Chief Valstrath, seeing that she could cause a crisis if things weren’t too far, agreed to have a duel for the position of chief. Ghidorah quickly agreed, her arrogance blinding her to any chance she could lose. And lose she did, as her massive sze did not compensate for the fact that she hadn’t had a real fight in twenty thousand years while the chief was vastly more skilled and agile.

Shocked at her loss, Ghidorah became a loyal member of the Armada. While there is still tension in the Armada due to her continued claims of godhood and reactionary views, she has made no more power plays, carrying out every order given to her by the chief with only a little bit of mumbling.
Reign and Ideology While ruling her Empire
Queen Ghidorah was very much loved by her people and feared by her enemies. She made sure that her peoples’ lives were the best they could be by investing in projects for them and freeing any worshipers of her that were enslaved. This quickly led to all slaves in her empire becoming free, but the slaveowners couldn’t complain too much due to all the public works projects she funded to make the empire richer. She also expanded her empire’s territory by visiting neighboring countries’ capitals loaded with gifts and offering them a choice; either accept her rule and gifts or have their city destroyed. With all the cities she wiped off the map, the local government usually went with the safe route and submitted to her.

The only complaint the people could’ve had were the sacrifices to her. Mostly still part of her worship by tradition at this point, Ghidorah admitted that she never killed any of her sacrifices. Well that she never intentionally killed any of them, a few accidents did happen. Instead of being killed by Queen Ghidorah, the sacrifices were instead entered what many would consider a kind of harem. Living with her in her volcano home, considered them her closest friends and advisers, and they rarely wanted for any luxury.
Policies
During her rule of her empire she enacted the following policies:

  • Establishment of public works fund: Being the richest being on her planet, it is of little surprise that her worshippers soon began asking her for financial help for their businesses and infrastructure. Ghidorah in all her love for her worships could not refuse them, often giving out loans with no interest. Eventually she got so many requests that she created a special fund to preempt such requests by funding public projects and infrastructure before it reached her. Such investment in infrastructure has made the cities of her empire among the most developed on her planet.

  • Abolition of Slavery for her Worshippers: Being very protective of all her worshippers Ghidorah could not stand to see them enslaved and issued a decree instantly freeing all enslaved peoples of her faith and made it illegal to ever own a slave of her faith. Slaveowners were forced to comply lest Ghidorah come to enforce the law herself and through her public works had other avenues for profit. However, as word of the decree spread all slaves soon converted to worshipping her thus unintentionally abolishing slavery in her empire.

  • Construction of fortifications and focus of the military on defense: With Ghidorah as powerful as she is it is impossible for an enemy army to defeat her in the field of battle, even if she is alone. Thus her army was not needed to fight other armies but to hold until she got there. Offensive tactics rendered useless by Ghidorah’s presence meant the army had no reason to not focus one hundred percent on defense.

  • Establishment of the Royal Cartographer Society: With her empire so vast even a goddess like Ghidorah needs to know where everything is. The solution was quite simple, simply pick up an artist and fly above the land while they draw it out. The hard part was finding an artist with a good enough hand to accurately sketch the land and do it fast enough to not waste the goddess’s time. With the flights being so tedious, Ghidorah quickly delegated it to a group to come up with better methods. With them being the oldest Cartographer Society with no shortage of funding, it is no surprise that Ghidorah’s empire has the most accurate maps on her planet.

  • Establishment of the optical telegraph network: With such a large empire, it had the trouble of slow communications with messages taking weeks to even months to go from side to the other. This caused many problems, the most concerning being the delay in finding out about attacks on the fringes of the empire. Queen Ghidorah wasted no expense in trying every idea that reached her court on how to speed up communications and while there were many minor improvements, the most significant was the proposal to build networks of semaphore towers across the land to carry messages. While they were very expensive, wealth was something Ghidorah was not short in supply of. With their establishment news that took days to travel only took hours now.
    Ban of buildings taller than her shoulder: No building, unless it is owned by Ghidorah or dedicated to her glory, may be taller than her shoulder when on all fours. This is about equal to 38 meters or 250 kobold feet. Any building found in violation of this law may be subject to immediate demolition by Ghidorah herself.

Pro and Anti

  • Pro: Conquest, military buildup, theocracy, worship of her, investing in her people , LGBT rights, gender equality, forticulations

  • Neutral:Ancestor Veneration, war crimes, most economic systems

  • Anti: Enslaving her worshippers, atheism, nonbelievers, threatening her worshippers, disobeying her

Personal Life
Back in her empire she had her harem for companionship. However, in the Armada she does not get along with most members. Her claims of godhood, power play, and very reactionary views compared to the rest of the Armada does not endear her to her countrymen. The main member of the Armada she interacts with is chief Valstrath. Despite her first move to claim his job and grumbling whenever he gives her an order, she’s made no move to disobey any order he’s given her. Even if it’s the exact same order she ignored from someone else. Her shipmates also mention that it’s obvious that she thinks of Valstrath all the time.

Chief Valstrath, sees their interactions to satisfy his archaeological curiosity. She is after all the only one in the galaxy fluent in Ancient Zravvisk and the only one able to remember anything from the Armada’s early history. He also mentioned that he hopes that their interactions will help cure her ignorance of many of the things the zravvisk learned since Ghidorah was part of the Armada, like space tactics and the existence of noncombatants. Though, he also stated that being next to her as she gazed on a new wonder of the galaxy reminded him of the same wonder he had the first time he saw it.

Domains:
Her worshipers consider her holy domains to include:

Volcanoes and Fire: It is not hard to see why many consider this to be her main domain considering the zravvisk high tolerance for heat, plasma breath, and the fact her home is a volcano.

Agriculture/Harvest: As Ghidorah lives in a volcano she is covered in highly fertile volcanic ash which then falls off wherever she goes. This has the side effect of fertilizing nearby crops and it is not an unreasonable conclusion that it is herself that makes crops grow better rather than the ash she is covered in.

Fertility: A domain that is derived from her agriculture. If one can help the growth of plants and seeds then they should be able to do the same for fauna and sapient beings.

Conquest: It is little secret that Ghidorah has been aggressively expanding her realm by conquering new lands and has never lost a battle.

Liberation: While seeming to contradict her other domain of conquest, it comes from her policy of freeing any and all slaves that worship her and moving to protect forgien worshippers of hers, someones by adding their land to her empire.

Combat Ability
Being 100 meters long and 44 meters to the shoulder, Ghidorah is by far the largest zravvisk to ever live. While she will undoubtedly beat most things when it comes to brute strength, it has noted that her skills in combat are barely existent after 20,000 years of no real fights or need to train as shown in her duel with chief Valstrath. Then again, she doesn’t need skill in most battles since her hide protects her from even anti-tank weapons and her plasma beam can cut through a city block. Not to mention, she can destroy buildings just by putting her weight on them.
