Galra

The Galra are a fictional alien species from the animated television series Voltron: Legendary Defender. They are the primary antagonists of the series, serving as a galactic empire that seeks to conquer the universe. The Galra Empire is characterized by its militaristic nature and its pursuit of power through conquest and oppression. Their empire is vast, encompassing numerous planets and subjugating many species.

Physically, the Galra are often depicted with purple skin, pointed ears, and sharp, feline-like eyes. They have a strong, muscular build and a distinctive appearance that sets them apart from other species in the show. While not all Galra are inherently evil, the dominant ideology within the empire is one of dominance and subjugation. Their society is hierarchical, with a supreme leader, Zarkon, and his second-in-command, Lotor, at the top.

The Galra are known for their advanced technology, including powerful warships and weaponry, which they use to enforce their rule. Their military is a formidable force, consisting of various ranks and specialized units. Despite their widespread influence, the Galra Empire is not monolithic. Internal conflicts and differing ideologies exist among its members, particularly as the series progresses. The Paladins of Voltron, the protagonists of the show, are dedicated to fighting against the Galra's oppressive regime and liberating the planets they have conquered. The Galra's motivations are rooted in a desire for control and a belief in their own superiority.
