Rognarr Season
CharacterRognarr Season is a deep-space chapter of Invincible in which the Coalition of Planets tries to recruit the immensely powerful Rognarrs as living weapons against the Viltrum Empire. Nolan, Allen, and Captain Pikell travel to the Savage Planet to gather them, but the mission spirals out of their control.
Overview
The Rognarr Season unfolds as a pivotal off-world operation during the buildup to open conflict with the Viltrum Empire. After Space Racer joins the Coalition of Planets, its leaders decide that the fearsome Rognarrs, a species dormant on their homeworld the Savage Planet, could tip the balance in the coming war. Nolan, Allen the Alien, and Captain Pikell are sent to round them up in large numbers.
Summary
The plan hinges on the creatures staying subdued, but the expedition goes wrong once the Rognarrs begin to stir. Nolan urges Allen to flee before the beasts fully rouse, recognizing that even two Viltrum-caliber fighters stand little chance against a swarm of them at full strength. What was meant as a straightforward gathering run turns into a desperate scramble to survive the very assets they came to collect.
Aftermath
Captain Pikell brings the ordeal to a head by shattering the Solar Disc, an act that thaws and frees the imprisoned Rognarrs. Nolan and Allen, for their part, manage to break away from the planet without serious harm, while aboard the ship, General Telia seizes the moment to stage a mutiny and take command of the Venture. The whole affair stands as one of three developments that set the stage for the wider Viltrumite War.
