Excerpt

Planet Nomiqe is a shady little planet on the outer edges of the Ectopic Galaxy, full of hardened convicts and petty criminals, as well as the slums. It is a junk yard and breeding ground for the undesirable. It isn't well known for it's friendly citizens or welcoming community, unless you counted a hostile attitude as friendly, and I'm sure some of the more rowdy patrons do. The streets are grimy and littered with trash, and the few streetlamps that are left, are broken or dying, leaving the streets eerie and daunting in the black of the night.

Night on Nomiqe is never safe, daylight's not much safer, but the night makes fear and terror a more present and formidable enemy. In the inky darkness your mind begins to play tricks on your eyes and ears, until the greatest threat to your safety is yourself. In the end, the thieves and muggers only have to come and pick your body clean in the aftermath.
