Espanda & Escudo
One of the first Star Knights crash-landed on Earth 800 years ago after an epic battle with a cosmic evil. Stranded on this primitive planet with no way to repair his equipment or contact Mentor, he chose to fight for justice on this world and became the famed “knight of the green sword,” Amadis of Gaula. Over time, he married an Earth woman, had children, and eventually passed peacefully in his old age. Worried that his armor and weapons might fall into the wrong hands, Amadis willed that his family bury him in a secret tomb in the Sierra de Gredos Mountains.
Centuries later, in 2006, a young archaeologist discovered Amadis’s tomb. Amazed by the strange armor and weapons, Dr. Beatriz Arroyo quickly deduced that her discovery was not archaeological, but technological. She brought her treasure to her ex-boyfriend, Nuño Da Cunha, a Portuguese nanotechnologist. Attempting repairs, the two young scientists unwittingly sent a signal into space, drawing unwanted attention from a Grue scoutship that recognized the energy signature of the Star Knight technology. Eager to get their hands on such precious items, the Grue attacked. Fortunately, the signal also brought Earth’s Star Knight, Maria Montoya. With the help of Arroyo and Da Cunha, the Grue were thwarted and Star Knight, impressed by the courage of the pair, asked Mentor to allow them to keep Amadis’s armor for themselves. Mentor agreed and provided them with power suits and specialized equipment. Beatriz, armed with a laser sword, became Espada (Sword), and Nuño, equipped with a force field generator, became Escudo (Shield).
