Eghos

The Eghos are an extraterrestrial race in the Perseus Arm. It is the seventh race discovered by the Dhragolon and is considered the strongest race of the Sinister Hegemony.

The Eghos Oligarchy is led by a select group of elites and at one point had control of thirty solar systems, twice the size of the Dhragolon Federal Monarchy at the time. They currently the only race that had completely conquered the Dhragolon at one point. However, like the rest of the Sinister Hegemony, the Eghos have become extinct since the early Second Age.

Appearance
The Eghos are red humanoids about eight feet tall with a set of horns. They have black eyes and a very thin build - almost skeletal. Their faces are elongated and oval shaped, and their hair varies from dark red to black. Their garb tends to be what same may describe as unreasonably ostentatious.

Culture
The Eghos worship the Demons, one of the first creatures in all of existence created alongside the more chaotic Yoltox. Believing the Demons to be more superior, the Eghos followed their example and became elitists and begun viewing other aliens as lesser beings. Their culture revolves entirely around supremacy and pride, the belief that the Eghos are the perfect race.

Government and Economy
Little is known of what the Eghos were like before achievement of travel since the Dhragolon have destroyed nearly all evidence of their existence.

The Eghos had a strictly planned economy so that only the elite would enjoy themselves. Later, this enjoyment would expand across the entire race when they begun viewing that other extraterrestrials were lower than them. As a result, the lower class of the Eghos became entirely abolished when they were replaced by alien slaves.

Military
The Eghos were a highly advanced race, being several hundred years ahead of other races in the nearby vicinity. They used technology to their fullest advantage and they confiscated anything they could from the races they conquered.

History
The Eghos was the most powerful race in the Malick Cluster. Eventually, they managed to ally with other species of evil intent and created the Sinister Hegemony. After the Dhragolon Federal Monarchy had defeated their other allies, the Eghos would brutally strike back, taking over all of the Dhragolon's colonies and even sections of their homeworld.

Several decades of brutal enslavement would follow. The Dhragolon were reliving the years before their Yallvus Revolution except much worse. The Eghos resorted to not only fear tactics but brainwashing as well, seeking to assimilate the Dhragolon just as they did with the other six members of the Sinister Hegemony.

However, the Eghos underestimated the Dhragolon's willpower resulting in what is now known as the Second Sinister War. The Dhragolon broke free of the Sinister Hegemony's control and drove the Eghos to extinction. Because of this, the Dhragolon would realize that they had to commit genocide to defeat their enemies, a behavior that remains unbroken even after the start of the Fourth Age.
