Terminal

The planet Terminal is an artificial world created as a scientific experiment by a consortium of United Planets scientists who sprayed its surface with organic materials and accelerated the evolution of the resulting life forms. Originally located in the Sol System, in orbit between Earth and Mars; the planet was subsequently moved to a distant star system in Sector 6.

The creation of Terminal happened over 400 years before the Intergalactic War with Andromeda, at the time of which the experimental world had been long-abandoned and regarded as a "historical curiosity", the very existence of which was subject to skepticism.

Four centuries after its creation, Terminal was a habitable planet with a breathable atmosphere, Earth-like gravity, abundant vegetation and surface water. A product of accelerated evolution, its biosphere consisted of strange life forms, including a race of savage ape-like humanoids known as Links, which have been identified as "what Man will become" in the distant future. It's also inhabited by giant burrowing worm-like predators.
