The PARTY RAGES ON with the third and final event in our birthday saga. The time of the laser tag and the bowling has passed.

Backwater Bastards

***Backwater Bastards*** is an improvised audio comedy and actual-play podcast by a group of artists spanning the globe. They began collaborating in 2018 with their first campaign, Rhalloran, which used a homebrew version of Dungeons and Dragons 5th Edition. It's there that the crew cut their teeth at podcasting.

The current campaign, “Orbital Refuse”, is a sci-fi story using a game system invented by DM Dick Dynamite (Richard Kimber-Bell). In addition to the main story, Orbital Refuse, the crew do an out of character show called “SideArm,” periodic “Lore Dives,” and miscellaneous in-universe short stories.

Orbital Refuse is available as a free podcast found on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Podchaser, and more.

Baghra

**Baghras** are a species of ghosts that live in the Nightmare Forest.

## Description

Baghras are described as extremely tall and slim women. They have long and pointy fingers. They are often nicknamed *The Faceless*, because they have no face, only a flat surface.

## Powers

### Powers

* **Nightmare manipulation:** Baghras create, shape, enter and manipulate the nightmares of oneself and others, including modifying, suppressing, fabricating, influencing, manifesting, sensing, observing nightmares and turning dreams into nightmares. The overwhelming shock, fear, anxiety and terror can prove too suffocating for the victim in which their hearts might explode or brains might die.

* **Nightmare Imprisonment:** Baghras can trap others inside nightmares. They may be nightmares the victim is already having, or the user may create a nightmare to trap them in. The nightmares in question can stem from the user or from the victims' own worst nightmares.

* **Fear Manipulation:** Baghras can sense and manipulate the dread, fear, horror and terror, of themselves, people, animals and other creatures, whether by increasing, decreasing, causing or otherwise channeling fear, even manifesting the emotional energy to physical level. They can cause others to fear even the most harmless of things to the point of becoming catatonic.

## Known Baghras

* Somoane
* Kisaine
The Shattered Wall

The Shattered Wall (AKA The Wall) is a debris field composed of countless, destroyed, Terran Empire energy field projecting space stations erected on the edge of Wraith Space and Terran Space, several centuries before the events of Orbital Refuse. The Wraiths destroyed The Wall before completion. The resulting destruction created a massive synthetic asteroid field of swirling debris spanning several light years in all directions.

Traversing this synthetic asteroid field is all but impossible. Over the centuries many pilots have tried and failed to navigate the debris, adding to it. The sheer mass of field creates eddies of gravitational fields. The smallest pieces of debris form ever shifting slipstreams and eddies of particles throughout The Shattered Wall.
