Torru is a planet in the coreward region of the Golden Branch primarily relevant in COUNTER/Weight. It has a thin atmosphere and temperate weather. It is inhabited by billions of non-humanoid alien zebras (aka "xebra") described as "No Man's Sky animals". What limited industry exists there is factory farming.[1]
Torru was once an Apostolosian planet.[2][3] The Rapid Evening begin COUNTER/Weight with control of Torru. Apostolos soon attempts to retake the planet, becoming involved in a largely unsuccessful and destructive siege of Rapid Evening holdings.[4] Sokrates, Integrity and their tactical skills eventually aid in Apostolos winning the siege.[5]
