Negatum

Negatum is a twisted, corrupted perversion of a planet in a far off solar system. Negatum has five moons: (clockwise) H 1, Radon, Corro, Polonium, and Atom.

History
Eons ago, on the planet Negatum, people lived in peace and prosperity. Negatum was known for its extensive mastery of the atom. The people knew how to use its energy without damaging their environment.

One day, the Negatumians heard of an ancient warmongering race that was systematically destroying and enslaving planets: the Eisen-Kriegers. Using their knowledge, the Negatumians developed a large robot, capable of destroying the Eisen-Kriegers. This robot would have the power over nuclear energy, the ability to use contained atomic blasts, create atomic bombs out of energy, and even fly into the far reaches of space. This robot was given the name, “Meltdown”.

One day, the Eisen-Kriegers came to Negatum, intent on capturing and/or killing, as they did not care which. On that day, Meltdown was activated. Meltdown went to the Eisen-Krieger warships, intent on sending them back to where they came from.

The Eisen-Krieger leader’s warship blasted a particle beam directly at Meltdown. Meltdown may have withstood the attack, but his programming was changed... corrupted. Meltdown decimated their warships and took everyone on those ships as prisoner. Meltdown saw the Eisen-Kriegers as weak. Soon, he saw his own people as weak. He believed that the only thing to do, was reshape them and the planet. Eventually, Meltdown was done and decided this planet and its inhabitants were now perfectly mutated.

Landscape
Before the construction of Meltdown, Negatum had immense forests, deep oceans, icy peaks, deserts, and caverns. The air and water were clean and pure.

After Meltdown’s “epiphany”, he terraformed the planet and its moons to his liking. He made the air poisonous, the water mutagenic or acidic, and the soil toxic and exaggerated and corrupted the planet and moons’ geography.

Population
Meltdown mutated his very people into abominations. His reasoning is that he is “upgrading” them into warriors. During the mutation he brands his monstrosities with the trefoil symbol for radiation warning.

Trivia

 * Negatum is simply “mutagen” spelled backwards. The moons’ names all have meanings; H 1 is a combination of the chemical symbol and atomic number for hydrogen, Radon and Polonium are real-world radioactive elements, Corro stems from the word corrosive, and Atom should be self-explanatory.
 * Eiesen-Krieger is German for Iron warrior.
