Description Gehasath II, the second planet of the Gehasath System, orbits an ancient, cool star, and is located 30,160 light years from the Sol System, and 9,400 light years from the center of the Milky Way Galaxy. Yet to be discovered by Humans, it is a ruined world of vast wastes -- its surface is greened by a thick, noxious vapor, which hangs in the air, hugging close to the ground in large clouds, as well as by seas of water, deluded by corrosive chemicals. Deep impact craters -- many massive and seemingly bottomless -- and ruined machines of war, vaguely recognizable in function, but alien in design, lie strewn across the surface -- decaying above and below the waves of the planet's many seas, or rotting in sporadic clusters across the planet's wind-beaten plains, and many regions of the surface are labyrinthian in nature -- covered by vast ancient trenches, long decayed into artificial rivers of poison and filth.

Above this all, a moon hangs over the world-threateningly, its orbit extremely elliptical, giving it wildly different sizes from the surface depending on the time of year, and the moon's surface is completely covered by vast, blurred, untranslatable, alien carvings.

Nothing lives here -- or, nothing seems to. In the night, living phantoms -- projecting writhing tentacles, spines, teeth, sphincters, and malformed limbs -- seemingly glide across the barren surface of the planet between ancient wrecks, which are their only shelter against the elements. These horrific abominations are primarily descendants of the survivors of those who drove and fought with and against those ancient machines who were left behind to interbred with each other. Now, they prowl the wastes of Gehasath II, cannibalizing and raping one another, and every so once in awhile, stalking and preying upon hapless alien explorers -- and then attempt to rape, and devour them. They are longer sentient beings; they are hyper-intelligent monsters.
