About this Series
Earth. All that remains is a shell of what the humans once called home. They are all gone now. Wiped out by a violent plague of some sort.. The cause? Who fucking knows…that’s not the point of this story. The point is how the hell the Squadts came to call our planet home. I will tell you. The powers that be, on the Squadts mother planet, thought it would be a good idea to purge their prisons and cleanse their lands of the dregs of society. They loaded them up by the thousands, into a massive, interstellar, incarceration transporter (a huge fucking prison ship). Earth would be the final destination. It would now serve as a prison planet for the unruly Squadt masses. They would be left to their own devices, but monitored closely by the powerful Squadt overseers back home. A violent social experiment of the grandest scale…but of course shit went wrong. Upon entering the earths atmosphere the massive prison ship had a major entry sequence malfunction. The landing was successful, but not without extensive casualties and complete decimation of the home planet communication and monitoring systems. The surviving Squadts took right to their new home, adopting leftover human technology asPLAYGE (plāg) is a collaborative creation effort between FERG as designer and THREEZERO as manufacturer.Clay 'FERG' Ferguson creates his iconic works with a deep respect for the clean line.
