"There is a t'rm [coined] by [human beings]. It is a dimension cursing and burning those within it for [eternity]. It is [disgust personified]. It is hate [personified.] It is the most wretched feelings a [human] couldst exp'rience. Their most vile dictators, murderers, and [war-bringers] of [old-Earth] amount to nothing [compared] to it. They call it [Hell.] I believeth... [Hell] is the c'rrect t'rm f'r this w'rld."

Overview

The second planet orbiting the dying Lazendus star. Nibiru, or Lazendus Two, is a temperate terrestrial world dominated by parasitic creatures known as the Sahurian Parasites. Nibiru's history tells of an ice sheet blanketing the world, much like Fronos earlier in it's life. However, as the star evolved into a red giant the ice melted away, revealing microbes yet to transform into larger organisms. Over time, two lifeforms escaped evolution's cage: parasitic creatures later known as the Sahurian Parasites, and Floaters, bird-like organisms utilizing Nibiru's winds to survive. These races became hostile after first contact with eachother, however in the end the Parasites dominated Nibiru in sheer numbers. This tsunami of parasites forced the Floaters to become one with the parasites, further propagating the hive.
