Red Terror Place of Family Adventure

A horror-safari theme planet of fast-evolved nightmare animals with absurd names, source of the Death Manatees.

Story so far

Red Terror Place of Family Adventure is a horror-themed safari planet, the origin of the tenth floor's Screeching Death Manatees. Once a Land War world undergoing terraforming, it was abandoned when its bankrupt orcish owner and family were sold into indentureship over sports-betting debts; a malfunctioning, non-sapient uplift satellite then fast-forwarded its wildlife into nightmares. Rather than poison the planet, the Operatic reclamation crew 'Otto Banking Unit 3' turned it into a still-operating horror safari, giving everything grotesque names — manatees became Screeching Death Manatees, raccoons Doom Crier Beasts, cockatiels Fuck-Off Cockatiels. (One-third of Otto Banking Unit, 'Otto' himself, is now a guest of Club Scolopendra.)
