Oí Rising Over Escher Plaza


Oí is Cordero Prime's smallest and closest moon. The strange satellite orbits the planet once every 11 hours. Strong gravitational tidal forces make Oí a molten moon with thousands of erupting volcanoes!

Escher Plaza is in Kaleidiscopia City on Cordero Prime. Melting skyscrapers seem to sag in the warm and hazy Summer night. Thousands of nearby stars burn through the haze on this alien world.

Cordero Prime orbits a blue sun, deep inside a massive globular star cluster. This beautiful planet lies near the very heart of the Sombrero Galaxy!
