Oquro (OU)

Oquro is a small, desolate planet in the edge systems of the Original Universe. It only receives 5% sunlight from its sun, making it a dark and gloomy place.

It is the setting of Malignant.

Description
Oquro's landscape is mainly just black canyons of varying size and width. The species native to Oquro built a series of sewer systems leading to various underground colonies and other points of interest. The sky is black and rain is near-constant.

History
Oquro was home to an unnamed alien species before the Black Cloud arrived, raining infectious spores onto the planet's surface. Most of the planet's inhabitants were evacuated by third parties, but those that remained were transformed by the spores into decaying, shambling ghouls. The planet also contains a TechnoDyne Industries building, which is a front for the Republic of Luria's illegal Dark Works prototyping division. The arrival of the Black Cloud has drawn several parties to the planet: some who want to investigate and research the cloud and its spores, and others who want to recover what remains of Oquro's life. Brendan Fraser recently arrived on the planet looking for hope or a quick death, and Fraser's presence has drawn the mercenaries Tayne and Crikey to Oquro, who seek to claim the bounty on Fraser's head. Evangelise Ascheron and Lucy Farr landed on Oquro to retrieve technology from the TechnoDyne building, a Trilagon was airdropped in by the Cooperative to deal with the ghoul situation, and Ophelia Valentine arrived to secure the Black Cloud as a bioweapon.
