CREMATORIA (THE CHRONICLES OF RIDDICK)
It's always feeding time in this triple-max prison drilled deep into the scorching planet of Crematoria in the Igneon System. The Crematoria Slam Facility is accessed via an 18-mile prison railway below the surface where convicts are lowered into the actual prison complex. Vicious Hell Hounds make meals out of any prisoner not locked in their cells. This harsh planet rotates at 5000 mph with 52 hour days. Surface temperatures fluctuate wildy, with daytime nearing 700 degrees and nighttime plummeting to nearly 300 below zero, making it uninhabitable to say the least. Whether the surface of the planet is unfit for human survical or not, temperatures are in the wild extremes. One would be instantly incinerated if caught in the sunlight, or frozen solid at night. No drops ships allowed anywhere close. No escapes ever on record. Abandon all hope unless you're Riddick....and you're not!
PLANET HELL (Star Trek: Voyager)
"Planet Hell" was the nickname of an unusual uninhabited M-class planet located in the Delta Quadrant. The USS Voyager's Stellar Cartography department was responsible for the name.
This world was discovered by Voyager sensors in 2372. Initial sensor scans that the starship took of the planet gave readings of high amino acid and protein counts. Normally, this would indicate healthy plant life; however, there was no evidence of plant life on the surface of this world.
Trigemic vapors covered the planet like a curtain, and anomalous EM disturbances occurred all through the atmosphere. These disturbances generally prevented transporting to the surface of the planet, but windows allowing transports occurred around every thirty hours. Some readings suggested a planet early in its evolution, almost like a primeval Earth.
However, these readings did not rule out flora or even fauna with absolute certainty, and indeed the occasional plant was observed later. Humanoid life could operate on the surface, though skin exposure to the vapors was an issue. Despite the general hostility and the planet being a full day out of Voyager's way, it was still targeted for a mission by the crew, in the hopes of replenishing diminishing food reserves aboard the ship. This decision was also influenced by the lack of other known promising M-class planets nearby.
It was soon determined that this planet was used by a space-faring Reptohumanoid species as a birthing-ground. After their offspring hatched, they used the vapors to feed themselves until they were retrieved by their parents. Reptohumanoids might attempt to defend the planet. (VOY: "Parturition")
