The planet Morkul is homeworld to the Morkel. It resides in the Morkel Galaxy, in the Universe Sensum. During the early prehistoric era, the planet Morkel was overrun by a rapidly spreading empathic weed. As the planet and its inhabitants entered an ice age, caused by the flickering nature of its nearest sun, all forms of life suffered and food became a scarcity. The planet grew desperate and cold and, sensing its desperation, the empathic weeds grew over the entirety of the surface and onto the bodies of its suffering inhabitants. When the ice thawed, all that remained was the Morkel weed and the species they chose to form a symbiosis with. Morkel's prehistoric inhabitants lived on under the control of the Morkel weed, which stole their minds but permitted their bodies to live.
