History
Built and delivered by the Vortixx, the Nektann were originally used on the island of Zakaz in that island's civil war.[citation needed] They were also used to destroy unauthorized airships that enter the sky over Zakaz.[2]
Nektann were also used by the Piraka, who used them to guard their stronghold and other strategic vantage points throughout Voya Nui.[3] Toa Inika Kongu and Nuparu, accompanied by Piruk and Velika, were sighted by an immobile Nektann and came under fire. With Velika's help, Nuparu discovered that the Nektann 's underside was unarmored; using his Earth power, he attacked the Nektann from underground to destroy it.[4]
Shortly thereafter, the Toa Mahri destroyed the Cord and sent Voya Nui back to its original place on the Southern Continent. The status of the Nektann on Voya Nui is unknown.
Abilities and Traits
There are two kinds of Nektann: immobile ones mounted on towers set around key locations, and mobile ones that patrol areas. Nektann are completely armored in all places except the bottom.[3] When destroyed, mobile Nektann can reassemble themselves.[5]
The Nektann can fire blasts of energy to attack their opponents.
