Atvar was the Fleetlord of the Race Conquest Fleet tasked with subduing Tosev 3. While he was able to oversee the conquest of half the planet, the fact that the native inhabitants were far more technologically advanced upon the Conquest Fleet's arrival than they were when the Race first detected Tosev 3, left half the planet under the control of various not-empires. Thus, Atvar's reputation among his people would be forever tarnished.
