Known throughout the galaxy as the "Pleasure Planet," Xylos-9 is a hedonistic paradise ruled by the enigmatic Empress Vespera, whose primary objective is to recruit fresh, attractive travelers into her eternal court of sensory indulgence. Upon arrival, the crew is greeted by Vespera’s elite guard, who offer them unparalleled luxury and physical gratification in exchange for their permanent residency.While the majority of the crew is quickly seduced by the planet’s intoxicating pheromones and the promise of endless desire, Jax remains suspicious.
