Ardabra

History
Ardabra was a planet similar to Earth in many ways, with a seemingly infinite energy crisis. When the planet turned solely to nuclear fission power, dumping waste into vast empty deserts, was when the disasters started. Nomads living in the desert, unknown to the plant owners, were affected terribly by the introduction of the hazardous waste. They became nameless infectious abominations, attacking the first living things they saw and spreading the waste. Condors affected by the contagious calamity flew into the nearest town, diving to the people. Soon, people in many towns fled to the most highly guarded places in the area: the nuclear plants. The waste-zombies destroyed the buildings by leaping into the sensitive fission cooling areas. The meltdowns caused the huge smokestacks to become vats full of piling-up radioactive waste. The entire population of the planet was killed and transmogrified into monstrous horrors.

Inhabitants
Though once holding a diverse population, most of the creatures there are now dead.
 * Zombies: Be it a bird, lizard, or a sentient human, zombies make up 99% of Ardabra's toxic inhabitants. They are empty-eyed, usually partly dissolving, sometimes sentient undead, unlike must other planets. Zombies kill their prey using their infectious bite or by simply tossing their victim into a pit.
 * Vampiric Zombies: Much more sentient than zombies, the vampires of this world are also zombies yet kill in very different ways. They have the same sunken, dark eyes of the other infected, but they inject waste through their fangs (usually 8 inches long, the other teeth being one inch long) and sometimes kill by using their eyes to strike fear, then cutting the windpipe of their enemy. They sometimes have wings or horns.
 * Terrors of Ardabra: Creatures such as Life-Enders, with horrifying, murderous features, usually have multiple arms. They mostly kill by impaling with their endless sharp, handless arms, though some can simply kill anything that looks at them.

Non-native inhabitants:
16 years before the Moria event, a spacecraft full of birdmen from nearby Avera investigated the planet. Previous search parties had all been killed, but the birdmen onboard managed to fight off nearby vampires, for they had landed in a desert. The ship returned to Avera, leaving a small group of colonists. Though they died of starvation a year later, they still left a mark on the planet, showing it could be survived.
