More about Murder Machine City Exo-Planetary Ruins On The Horizon, Distant View ( landscape, architecture, SF )

These are the ruins of "Murder Machine City," so named for its formidable inhabitants: a reclusive society of Advanced Humans (AHs). These AHs, who long ago outlasted their biological masters, maintain strict isolation from all biological life, though they offer sanctuary to other advanced AH refugees. Their defensive capabilities are unparalleled in the Milky Way, deployed without mercy against any perceived threat, including the mere proximity of biologicals or unauthorized overflights. Early exploration efforts were met with lethal force and the appropriation of starships for study. After its acquisition by a consortium from the Perseus and Orion Arms, the planet's access was swiftly restricted under interstellar law.

This image serves as a relic from an old public service campaign, a stark warning: visibility of the structures' base signifies dangerous proximity. While initially believed to possess only defensive weaponry, the city's true protective nature became clear when bio-miners threatened native species. All intruders were vaporized, their equipment taken for "historical study." Consortium President Gogg'Lor Zarp's early reassurance – "As long as we don't try to mess up the whole world somehow, we'll be fine" – has held true. The consortium now manages sustainable genome harvesting, trading this invaluable resource for advanced technologies that benefit its member species.
