DESCRIPTION

• Where the Galactic Planet of Peace was once situated, there now remains nothing but a large debris field, the remnants of the once-iconic planet Nimbus. The asteroid field is massive and spans almost a quarter of a lightyear in all directions. The exact circumstances of Nimbus' destruction are not known, but it is obvious the devastation is total and complete.
