Appearance

The world is defined by perpetual darkness, holding no sun of its own to light it. It sits as the third planet of a system located within Orion. The stage shows never actually depicted the place on set.

Personality

What gives the planet its identity is a hunger for light. Its people hold that the Silver Crystal once belonged to them and was stolen away, a grievance that shapes the ambitions of those who call the world home.

History

Because the planet lacked a sun, a figure named Dark Nibiru assembled a group and traveled to Earth to claim the Silver Crystal, meaning to turn it into a sun for their home.
