No other place in the known Universe is as diverse and famous as Planet Asputanth in Bode's Galaxy. (Became known to the Union in 5029 after the discovery of a functioning Ancient Gate that connects the Fornax Cluster with that Galaxy.

The first Union Expedition to Planet Asputanth (USS Tigershark) and the subsequent trip of the Crew down the River Gathorax revealed an entity or being known to the locals as the River Wraith, an aggressive spirit like apparition that protects the Entrance to the Underground River. According to Narth it was just a projection of someone or something else, using clever telekinetic matter manipulation of water and air molecules. Alice Enigma created a similar projection out of of a fire and vaporized the River Wraith. However since it was a Projection and not an actual being....it is likley to reapear again. (It should be noted that neither Erica nor Shea were convinced that it was just a projection)

A larger dedicated Union Expedition to Planet Asputanth is currently under way to collect more detailed data.
