Millions of years ago, the civilization on this planet destroyed itself in a bloody civil war. The Black Rainbow Destroyers have since turned the entire world into an art installation commemorating their folly. They built the eponymous watchtowers to gaze out over the empty cities and the cratered battlefields, forward outposts in a war that guttered out millenia ago. The Black Rainbow Destroyers use this planet as a base of operations for their archaeological and cultural explorations of Chunky Space.
Nerve Gas Sunrise
The original artist behind the planetary installation. Her primary instance is a Mothership class capital ship orbiting the planet. She serves as the nexus for Black Rainbow Destroyer forays into Chunky Space. She is the nominal ruler of the system but for the most part she is content to maintain her installation with her hexapod construction drones.
Sky Trash Dreamland
Dreaming Black Rainbow Destroyers have complete control over their bodies, moving and responding to the scenarios happening inside their minds. Dreamlands are specialized “parks” where destroyers can act out their dreams in relative safety. The Sky Trash Dreamland is the ring of broken space stations in orbit around the planet, left over from the war. At any one time there can be hundreds of Black Rainbow Destroyers playing out their own psychodramas amid the shattered ruins
The Watch Towers
The towers themselves are concrete fortresses between 10 and 20 stories tall. The towers are functional defense emplacements with various weapon configurations. The distribution of weapons has artistic meaning, though that meaning is tied up in esoteric Black rAinbow Destroyer philosophy and is difficult to interpret without that knowledge.Several towers contain rail guns designed to shoot Black Rainbow Destroyer chassis into orbit. Recently, Oth forces have begun squatting in the towers. This goes against the purpose of the installation and Nerve Gas Sunrise is offering bounties to anyone who can clear a tower while leaving it mostly intact.
Mallhemia
Settlement on the planet’s surface is forbidden. However, the Black Rainbow Destroyers have permitted a subterranean city in the ruins of an ancient shopping mall. Mallhemia is an independent city state with a laissez faire government and zero extradition treaties, making it a haven for exiles and criminals. In particular, the Black Rainbow Destroyers have a fondness for art and artists, which has attracted the extreme avant garde who are no longer welcome in their home polities.
The Creep Farms
Mallhemia only occupies the first few levels of the underground complex. Below the city proper there are unsettled mall levels. Below those there is an abandoned civilian infrastructure complex, and below that is a military bunker. Sometime after the fall of the original civilization an astral conflux with the Squeeze formed in these subtertian confines. These levels have become home to an infestation of creeps, coming from both the settlers of Mallhemia and from the Squeeze itself. What most civilizations would see as a public health crisis, the Mallhemians see as a resource. Hunters armed with paralytic poison capture creeps alive and render them into potent astral drugs. As these hunts are both a major industry and an important public safety campaign, the Farmer’s Guild has been given the power to press gang people into becoming hunters.
Creeps
Dead Faced Teens - Appears as a human adolescent with extreme facial injuries or deformities. The most common type of creep in the complex, these creatures congregate in large groups or cliques. They are craven scavengers, preferring only to attack the wounded or dying. Believed to be sapient, though official contact hasn’t been made. The links between them and the local juvenile population in the city above are poorly understood. Sometimes DFTs are found that resemble locals, either living or dead.
Hate Giant - Huge pallid humanoids. Their bodies are soft and flexible, only them to contrast and crawl through the tight confines of the mall. Said to be the spawn of the first Mr. squeeze, and as such are thought to know secrets of their home realm. Mostly they’re just interested in gumming people to death in their toothless maws.
Neon Imp - A geometric form of glowing light. When motionless it resembles a light up advertisement, but not one in any known language. It stalks sapient beings, moving only when unobserved. It desires to shine its light directly on the back of a victim's head. When “feeding” this way, the subject is put into a trance state while their desires are replaced with an obsession with material goods. If left unchecked, eventually even the autonomic nervous system will be replaced, leading to paralysis and death.
