Azure

Azure is a planet from the Classics portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.

Azure is a dingy, depressing backwater planet located thirty-seven light years south of the edge of Vestial Imperium space. It is known for having a fair number of run-down buildings and sleazy (run-down) bars, having limited repair facilities, and completely failing to live up to its name by being predominantly brown due to copper-saturated oceans.

Purgatory is worse, though that says far more about that place than it does about this one.

Classics

Nightbeat and his crew travelled to Azure seeking repairs after a fight with Vestial Imperium troops. When they were unable to communicate with the local militia due to their communications system being down, the militia shot them out of the sky in an uncharacterisic show of initiative. They then managed to crash into the only repair bay equipped to fix their ship.

They spent six and a half weeks stranded on the planet, during which time they were regularly harassed by locals itching for a chance to pound some Transformers. Eventually they were hired by Amory, a sentient Shi-Lai starship who was also on Azure and needed a detective to help her find her missing pilot. They then left Azure with Amory to travel to Purgatory, where the pilot's disappearance occurred. Cheap Shots
