His race is part of multi-system spanning empire, made up of 5 systems, with 6 races. They share their home system with another race called the Panthraaxians (a feline race) so that's why there's 6 races but only 5 systems. The empire is named after both of these races, the Verrthraaxi Empire, as these two are the most advanced of the 6 races. Many of the other races are quite intimidated by the Verrathans size, but they are fair and just rulers of the Empire. Oh and btw this is all lore from my video game I'm programming.
