But from time to time, it can occur. Seeking succor from the desperate silence in its mind, the One Beneath The Waves has sunken himself beneath the oceans of Shamash II, and there it lies, seeking fruitlessly to soothe its injuries.

And for the cowards it was decreed, to serve unflinchingly for their God.

A subterranean prison complex, meant to incarcerate those who need to be removed from society.

A blue green jewel, Beta Delphini II, home of the turtle like Chelonians. The world is old, and bears many scars, the craters from orbital bombardment and high power explosions, rings of dust and debris that were once starships, habitats, and fighter craft. But the world below remains tranquil, its wounds covered with blue seas and green forests.

They will serve up the Light to appease their dark gods.

A realm of unending darkness, pitch blackness, where even light refuses to shine.
