The planet Frogstar B (commonly referred to as "The Frogstar"), is the second planet in the Frogstar System, and widely held to be the most totally evil place in the Galaxy, a reputation gained most notably by the presence thereon of the notorious Total Perspective Vortex.
The planet is, but for the strange bird-creatures that inhabit its skies, abandoned. Its surface is littered with old ruined cities, and an unusual amount of shoes. An abandoned spaceport on its surface was once found to have had a fully functioning (mind-witheringly delayed) spaceship lying within, perpetually waiting for the restocking of lemon-soaked paper napkins.
Economic History
The economic conditions of Frogstar B could be said, by onlookers, to be remarkably similar to that of the planet Brontitall, but this only goes to show just how common the tragic fate that once befell it is in the Galaxy.
Frogstar World B was once a happy, prosperous planet, which was plunged into poverty and despair by a tragic economic phenomena known as the Shoe Event Horizon, which goes a little like this:
Even though this planet was, indeed, happy and prosperous, it could be said to have had just a little too many shoe shops. Its poor, fashion-crazed and economically ignorant citizens bought these shoes, gradually coming to buy more, and more, and more, until the shoe companies practically had no choice but to see the opportunity in it, and build more shoe shops.
The increasion of these shoe shops encouraged people to buy more shoes, which made the shoe companies richer, which manufactured more shoes, until, eventually, it became economically unviable to sell anything other than shoes. Frogstar B spiralled into a state of inexorable economic collapse. Most of the planet died out, and the more genetically unstable of the population evolved into bird-creatures.
