Biography
Around 12800 years before the events of Magical Starsign, Craaken and the other yogart gurus of Erd were met by the Espresso civilization, a group of individuals hailing from Puffoon. Their lead technician, Dr. Calzone, was curious of the planet Nova, which was said to reside within the sun. However, the sun's atmosphere was made up of searing hot plasma-based gummies, cloaking Nova under countless multidimensional layers. He had learned that yogart gurus possessed the power to send their astral bodies into the sun, and wondered if Craaken and the others had a sort of gate, though this was not the case. Calzone instead joined forces with Craaken, who aided him in the construction of the Kahve plant where gummy-making robots would be manufactured.
