Description

Its location – Known Space.

 

It does not orbit a luminous object.

 

The world's atmosphere consists of gases that cause slow, painful suffocation.

    

Intense lighting strikes shower most of its regions. These electrical discharges and their thunder here possess enough power to annihilate ether-ships.

 

Electromagnetic anomalies create areas with zero gravity where objects can get shot into outer space.

 

Surface temperature in certain areas can reach 2200 degrees Celsius. These superhot, most lightning-struck regions have lakes and rivers of white-hot molten minerals crisscrossing them.

 

Other areas consist of frictionless, glass-like material – another product of continuous lighting storms. Unlucky travelers who enter here will continuously slide across these surfaces, usually dying of suffocation or dehydration.

 

Great, fulgurite forests, created through, and animated by lighting discharging into the ground, dot the landscape. These structures have sharp protrusions, which can pierce or cut through the protective armor of intruders.

 

Large swarms of lighting spheres, seemingly capable of coordinating attacks, also exist here. They slowly surcharge objects – incredibly painful for living things – causing them to explode.

 

 "Hatchlings" – non-living sediment formations, looking like heavily deformed avian monstrosities – exist in sediment forests. They can infect organic beings, converting the former's bio-matter into theirs. The victims turn into eggs from which a new hatchling emerges.
