Out in the depths of space is LV-439 is a million year old planetoid, a very old system that very few would suspect. It is one of the ancient battle grounds between Atlans & Derros. The surface is littered with the covered over metallic remains of thousands of star ships. The devastated remains of the Atlan fleet.
Few suspect that within a mountain bunker there lies a secret that few suspect is still active. There have been 4 surveys by the the Academy of Science all efforts have been doomed to failure & chalked up to death by miss adventure. You see the derro are alive & active on LV -439 & their hungry.
In the mountains of 439 there are a series of massive tunnels hollowed out of the planetoid itself. Surveys revealed the following levels.
- Hanger Open - Weathered Saucers, very pitted & beaten from acid rains

The weather if the planetoid is a constant of storms, gloom, & the occasional methane storm. Yet the biggest obstacle is the derro themselves who well up & surround their prey once night comes. LV-439 remains one of the most dangerous places in the universe.
Good stuff! I particularly like the Forbidden Planet nod and the acid ray-pitted saucers.
ReplyDeleteFun stuff! Great to see another Forbidden Planet mention and now with 78% more Derro & Atlans. The psionic storms are especially nasty...ouch!
