Aphos Prime

Aphos Prime is a living planet. Starforce members Vers and Minn-Erva were sent there on a mission to investigate a Skrull presence.
==History==
===Skrull Investigation===
Aphos Prime was a planet which the Kree kept watch on. Peer Kaal tested the Axiom Cannon on the planet, causing it to completely destroy itself and develop a muddy surface. The Kree sent probes which revealed that it had a breathable atmosphere. However, the probes also reported that there were no natural resources of value and no signs of life. The Skrulls then took control of the planet and started living on it. One Kree scout ship was destroyed by a group of Skrulls without any survivors after it detected Skrull activity.
Vers and Minn-Erva were sent to Aphos Prime on a mission to investigate the Skrull presence on the planet, and the two crashed onto it. They disembarked the ship and both fell, getting drenched in the planet's mud. Minn-Erva got frustrated as her Skrull Detector was glitching, and Vers suggested that the planet itself was interfering before they started walking toward a group of Skrulls they were able to detect. They were intercepted by a group of Skrulls and engaged with them, against orders. Vers attempted to scare them off with her photon abilities, but the Skrulls got a hovercraft and attacked them. The attackers were joined by other Skrulls, totaling eight. Vers and Minn-Erva fought the Skrulls until they saw the mud start bubbling. A Skrull's head floated to the surface, and the Skrull started calling for help before getting dragged back under. The Skrulls which were attacking were dragged under as well, prompting Vers and Minn-Erva to decide to leave. However, as they walked back to the ship, the mud started bubbling and foaming, prompting Vers to deduce that it was alive.
Vers and Minn-Erva were then pulled under the mud, where they met a Skrull who explained that the planet was alive. He then went on to tell them that he knew how to escape by crawling through the mud. The trio then started crawling, when the Skrull collapsed, nearly dying. However, Vers managed to revive him and the group continued moving. They came across a membrane preventing the mud from entering their tunnel and realized they were right below their ship. Minn-Erva fired at the membrane, causing the planet to get angry and attack them with vines as mud started oozing through the walls. Vers destroyed the membrane and managed to carry Minn-Erva and the Skrull to the surface, where they boarded their ship and escaped as the planet screamed.
