Mosskurn is the capital headquarters of the Umbruke species, a heavily militaristic cyborg collective. It is considered a dead world, with vast deserts and mostly flat terrain.

History
Mosskurn's existence was aknowledged by the Collective during the Great Development era (before the early Biological era), the Umbruke's expansion across a large part of the Milky Way. It was deemed a suitable planet to establish a central hub, the core of the Collective and maintain the empire's strength and leadership.

It was named 'Mosskurn' by the Collective's affiliates who keep the planet under the grip of the empire.

Geography and Biosphere
Mosskurn is unique for its unbroken landmasses, desolate and entirely devoid of life. There are no forests or jungles, only the dunes that have replaced the open fields of greenery. This means nothing to the Umbruke, as only the sand being blown into the cities by the perpetual dust storms.

Infrastructure and Installations
Most of the planet is a hive city, tall skyscrapers and monolithic towers rise against the sun, casting a shadow on the world below. These hive cities can sometimes be built in vast communities, miles away from each other yet still massiviely large at the same time. Within these cities there are Umbruke, Drones, and augmented species from other worlds relocated here.

With the constantly moving sands, the Umbruke set up large barricades that slowly push the dunes away from the cities. This does not stop from dust storms blowing sand from up above, however. To fight back the storms, the Umbruke installed a large 'shield' that would cover most of the city, activating once it detected an incoming cyclone. But for the unfortunate, soldiers stationed in military camps and outposts in the open wastelands are swept away by the storms, never to be seen again.

Surrounding the planet it self are orbital warships, or sentries, that defend the planet from foreign hostility.
