Libitinia was a former Omni colony used to store retired starships and vehicles. It is hypothesized that the planet was one of the earliest Omni colonies in the South Arm given how much debris covers the planet. Abandoned factories and other structures dot the planet.

Orbit

The planet has five large 700-kilometer dreadnoughts in stable orbit of the planet. It is likely that these ships were never stored on the planet's surface because they were unable to enter the planet's atmosphere. However, sometime following the Anathema Wars, the dreadnoughts crashed into Libitinia's surface creating massive firestorms.

Atmosphere

The decaying cores of the starships on the surface have released excess nitrogen and freon into the planet's atmosphere over many years. The atmosphere is far from breathable, and pressure suits are required for exploration. The planet once had primitive life, but as the oxygen levels lowered, all complex respirating life has since perished.

Geography

Most of the planet is extremely dry and arid with rocky deserts. However, the ships themselves have become solidified into the geography after thousands of years.
