Zelem's Nexus



Zelem's Nexus is a planet in the upcoming game, Darkspore. It was once a peaceful planet called Nakto, but it was destroyed by The Crogenitors. The Crogenitors built an artificial gravitation field that keeps the floating chucks left of Nakto from floating off into space.

The official Darkspore website says this about Zelem's Nexus:

''Once the gentle planet Nakto, Zelem's Nexus is a freakish array of orbiting islands held together by Crogenitor technology.

The Crogenitor Zelem gave birth to his Nexus by opening a dimensional portal at the core of planet Nakto, shattering it. Zelem spent the rest of his life operating his gravity tethers to keep the islands from crashing into each other, or the orbital centre.

When the Darkspore conquered the Nexus, they perfected Zelem's gravity-wheel, stabilizing the Nexus as a staging area for galactic conquest.

Their plan succeeded.

The Crogenitor Insurgency must retake the Nexus to recover Zelem's advanced technology. If purged of Darkspore control, Zelem's Nexus could become the first monumental step... towards freeing the galaxy.''
