Krakskull

A vast and barren world beneath a searing white star, Krakskull
only barely supports life. A complete lack of native life has
allowed Orkoid flora and fauna to spring up in places, though
the general lack of moisture and the blistering heat make this
difficult at the best of times. Surrounded by a dense asteroid
field, only the smallest vessels can reach Krakskull safely, and
few non-Orks are reckless enough to make the attempt. These
asteroids hang closely enough to the world that, on occasion,
orbital collisions (often between two asteroids, but sometimes
between a ship and an asteroid) knock them deeper into
Krakskull’s gravity, causing them to plummet and cause vast
devastation. For the most part, however, the dense clouds of
asteroids, dust and debris cause fleeting, faint patches of
almost-shade, diffusing the harsh light of Krakskull’s
star. Much of the life on Krakskull is migratory,
following these patches of respite and sheltering
in the deepest craters to avoid the worst of
the sunlight.
The settlement of Skulltown is the only lingering presence
of civilization anywhere on Krakskull. Located on the walls
of a long, deep crater-canyon, the lower tiers of the town
are equal parts scrap pile, mineworks and refuse dump, all
tended by hordes of Gretchin who work “Da Drops” for
salvageable materials, edible fungus and Squigs, and useful
minerals. Further up are the rough workshops of Mekboyz
and other Oddboyz, and the huts of the common boyz who
frequently roam out across the surface on ramshackle vehicles
to do battle with one another or to carve up the wreckage of
a ship that didn’t survive passage through the asteroid field.
