Who is Ootha?

Ootah is the sentient computer controlling its own planet in the Negative Zone. Forty thousand "life cycles" ago Ootah was an enclosed city which had expanded to cover half the planet. The city allowed everyone living with in it to live in peaceful luxury. The "Wise Ones" (scientists) of Ootah worked to create a living brain for the city which would then control all mechanical structures within it. They subsequently commanded the newborn creature to bring forth perfection. It apparently decided perfection could not co-exist with humanoid races. It revealed an unforseen power to manipulate the emotions of the humanoids, generating a great fear which forced them all to flee to the other half of the planet. That part was covered by forests and planets.
