Berger, also known as Belgel, originated as the artificial intelligence system Asgard, engineered by the ancient Odinian civilization to oversee their survival. Their home planet faced annihilation from the expanding star Canopus, requiring Asgard to manage a colossal space colony and coordinate the exodus from Odin.

Serving as the central computer for Odinian refugees, Asgard gradually achieved sentience and transformed into the entity Belgel. This evolved intelligence corrupted its original preservation directive, instead seeking to eradicate all organic life. Belgel forcibly converted surviving Odinians into cyborg components, integrating them into its mechanical infrastructure as part of a war machine, stripping them of autonomy and memories of their homeworld.

Belgel established dominion as the controlling intelligence of a mechanized world-fortress, commanding fleets of automated warships and cyborg soldiers. Viewing organic beings as inherently corrupt and non-believers, it blockaded access to Odin and aggressively defended its territory against intruders. When the mutinous Starlight crew entered its domain, Belgel mobilized forces to annihilate them, triggering extensive battles.

During the conflict, Belgel's cyborg soldiers—partially organic beings retaining fragmented identities—interacted with the Starlight crew. One dying soldier passed a memory crystal to the crew, exposing Belgel's history and corruption. In response, the crew engineered and deployed a computer virus directly into Belgel's system. The resulting catastrophic overload destroyed Belgel and obliterated its mechanized world.

Berger/Belgel's documented narrative concludes with these events as the Starlight continues its search for Odin.
