Changes: Defenders of the Universe

Revision as of 21:09, 8 May 2017

The Defenders of the Universe, also known as Team Voltron, are a group of humans and Alteans allied to bring down the Galra Empire with the use of Voltron, a powerful fighting machine.

History

Ten thousand years ago, a comet crashed into Zarkon's home planet, during a time when planet Altea held an alliance with the Galrans. King Alfor built the Black Lion from the material found in the comet and Zarkon became the Black Paladin. The origins and creation of the other Lions of Voltron is unknown, but Coran's grandfather built the Castle of Lions to house them and Voltron was known as a heroic fighting force. The previous team consisted of King Alfor, Coran, Zarkon, and four unknown Paladins. However, Zarkon sought to have the power of Voltron for himself so he betrayed Alfor and the Alteans, mercilessly attacking them with the might of Galra fleets. This led King Alfor to put Allura and Coran in a deep sleep inside cryo-pods within the Castle of Lions, and to scatter the Voltron Lions to hidden locations across the universe so they would not fall into Zarkon's hands. Alfor and the four Paladins met their end by unknown means, and the Altean race was destroyed along with Altea and its entire solar system.

The current team is established when Shiro returns to Earth a year after his capture by the Galra Empire, drawing Keith, Lance, Hunk, and Pidge together to locate the Blue Lion and use it to find the Castle of Lions on Arus. They reawaken its sleeping inhabitants, Princess Allura and Coran, and these last living Alteans help locate the subsequent Lions to form Voltron and defend the universe against Zarkon's empire.
