New Badab is a planet in the Maelstrom which became the base of the Red Corsairs after the destruction of their former homeworld, Badab.[1] The world was originally inhabited by hundreds of thousands of Mutants and other foul Humans, but Huron and his surviving 300 Astral Claws made short work of them and quickly took over the world.[2]
New Badab is the location of the Palace of Thorns,[2] a huge fortress dubbed surrounded by a frightful battery of guns, which is the residence of the Blood Reaver, Huron Blackheart. With hundreds of ships defending its orbit[2], is visited by many alien species, such as the loxatl or the warriors of the Lost and the Damned. It also plays host to the Skull Harvest, a tournament in which leaders battle it out to swell their forces. Warsmith Honsou once visited the planet to increase his forces, in preparation for his invasion of Ultramar.[1]
