Qurux

The lost home planet of the doomed crawler Coolie, glimpsed only in his dying orbital vigil.

Story so far

Qurux is the home planet of Crawler Coolie, the 19th-edition cookbook annotator, known only through his marginalia. Transported to a show-ship in low orbit, Coolie could look down through a forcefield window on his 'beautiful, lost planet' and wished it to be his last sight. After his orbital suicide bombing failed to breach the ship's forcefield, he died gazing at Qurux as gravity and air gave out, praying someone would one day avenge her — 'for I cannot.' It stands as a memorial to yet another world consumed by the dungeon system's conquest.

Appearance

Seen only from orbit as a shining planet below a forcefield-only window; surface undescribed.

Role

Coolie's conquered homeworld, a symbol of the crawl's cost, seen only from dying orbit.

Relationships

Crawler Coolie — Its native son, who died in orbit gazing down on it.
