Exoplanet Ridge

Ogron Planet Ridge

Ogron Planet Ridge is a jagged spine of blackened rock slicing through the ashen wastes of Ogron, its unstable shale slopes shifting underfoot to threaten ambush or misstep alike. Rising just enough to offer a commanding view over the crushed-stone plains, its loose scree and broken edges conceal as much as they expose, turning every soldier’s silhouette into a question of rock or flesh. On Skaro, the ridge’s identical silhouette endures, its boulders slick with war residue and its ravines throbbing with the distant pulse of Dalek activity. Once a final bastion for outnumbered foes against Ogrons, it later became a sniper’s perch for Kaleds stalking prey across the battlefield, the ridge mutating from temporary refuge to entrenched tactical stage across disparate wars.
