SILASTIC ARMOURFIENDS OF STRITERAX / STRITERAXIANS

Planet of Origin: Striterax (now destroyed)
The Silastic Armourfiends were a sentient species who lived some billions of years ago. They were so aggressive that without adversaries, they were could resort to automutilation until they become unconscious. They wrecked the surface of their planet, forcing the surviving population to live in bunkers deep below the surface.
During one of their wars, they asked the great computer Hactar to design them the ultimate weapon. Hactar created a hand-held bomb which would connect the core of every major sun via hyperspace, destroying the entire universe. They attempted to use the bomb to blow up a munitions dump, only to realise that Hactar had built a dud weapon since it could not conceive of an occasion when the use of such a weapon could be justified.
Eventually, after defeating the Strenuous Garfighters of Stug and the Strangulous Stilletans of Jajazikstack, they wiped themselves out.
