(Er...the NullPointerException should have 3 armies, now. I raised one in Null City while Beta was still there.)
Through the Aarie, the NullPointerException! hear of the disaster far to the north...knowing that they are not powerful enough to lend proper aid, they send their condolences, and issue a caution to their fellow NullPointerException! to avoid the area until more is known.
Having observed other races air and sea ships, the NullPointerException! attempt to create their own from Betonium, but find it too heavy to be held aloft or afloat on its own. So, for the moment, they abandon this track, and instead create Betonium Combat Armor. While still not as thoroughly armored as the Godfather himself, this light combat armor allows the NullPointerException to protect their non-plated flanks and appendages, while still allowing flight at the cost of manueverability.
Learning to fight while in this army required extensive time practicing, and, since those choosing to use the armor had to learn to do so together, meant that Armored squadrons work together very closely, allowing for nigh-impenetrable defensive formations.
Thus did the council see fit to establish a base specifically for such military practice drills, so they build one south of Betonia, on the larger island delta in F5. This base becomes known as Null Military Command.
In order to ensure a defensible situation in the event of attack, the NullPointerException build a betonium wall, separating their peninsula from the main portion of the continent, while leaving a gate at the northern edge controlled by Betonia.
Beta, having gotten himself lost by teleporting somewhere unknown, finally returns to his children, finding a very different civilization than he had left.
