Deadworld

Deadworld was first discovered in 1983 with the accidental opening of the Montauk Rift. It was named by early explorers who recognized with horror the blasted and burned ruins of an alternate or future version of Denver, Colorado buried beneath several feet of gray snow and volcanic ash. It is believed that a series of cataclysmic natural events, including massive earthquakes and the eruption of the Yellowstone Supervolcano, brought an end to technological civilization on Deadworld. Radiation levels are within normal range, so nuclear holocaust has been ruled out. No live radio signals can be detected, and those individuals sensitive to Psychic and Akashic energies agree that the entire planet is eerily still and silent.

Bitter cold, a permanent hazy twilight, and a near total absence of life are the main features of Deadworld. The ruined buildings are corroded and crumbling, but otherwise the landscape can be safely explored with arctic gear and air purifying respirator masks.

While the first discovery of Deadworld was an unintentional side effect of early Hypergate experiments at Montauk AFB, over the next two decades, as Hypergate Technology became better understood, it was found that Deadworld is one of the default destinations of an unfocused and untuned artificial wormhole. The explanation or meaning of this is unknown, but some theorize that Deadworld is either part of our Timeweave or our nearest neighboring Timeweave.

It is believed that natural rifts and ruptures in our world such as the Bermuda Triangle and others have been depositing refugees in Deadworld for the last hundred and fifty years. Three secret bases have been established in Deadworld since the late 1990's: Pegasii (Denver),

(and I don't know where the others are- Denver is the default dumping ground- the established bases have secure underground hypergate installations, guarded and shielded at all times. Oops, bedtime.  The boys are here.)
