Rintorian Battlestar



Rintorian Battlestars are vehicles that appear in the animated series The New Adventures of He-Man.

The Rintorian Battlestar was a gigantic spacecraft, half the size of moon Enos that attacked the planet Primus, while another, identical Battlestar attacked moon Nordor. On both fronts, the Battlestars appeared able to withstand any force the Guardians or Mutants launched against it.

During a lull in the battle, the being in charge of the ship attacking Primus identified himself as 'Royka' and ordered the Starship Eternia to follow the Battlestar alone, while the damaged Colossus and Astrosubs were allowed to return to Primus. If the Guardians refused to comply, Royka threatened to destroy the Colossus.

Similarly, the Evil Mutants were contacted by Molden, who told the Mutant Mothership to follow it and send the rest of the Mutant troops back to Nordor. However, when the Guardians and Mutants realized they were heading towards not only a second giant Battlestar, but also their sworn enemies, both parties decided to renew their attack.

Soon, both the Eternia and the Mothership found themselves floating in orbit around Denebria, even though they were nowhere near the planet just moments before, and both ships were completely powerless. He-Man and Skeletor climbed out onto the hulls of their respective ships, and used their magic weapons to guide the vehicles down to the planet.

They discovered that both their ships had landed in the Fog Zone and, with both parties accusing the other of being behind the sphere ships, they began a ground battle. The Guardians were on foot, but the Mutants had several of their ground vehicles at their disposal.

But this time the battle came to an end when Royka and Molden, who had come to the conclusion that the two factions were just what they needed to compete in 'The Games' on their home planet. Suddenly, none of the two parties' laser weapons worked anymore. The two powerful beings adressed the two leaders, He-Man and Skeletor, and told them it was a great honor to take part in the Games. Both parties innitially refused, but the beings threatened to destroy their home planets if they did not comply, which they then reluctanly did.
