For billions of years Vod's primeval beach spas have been the place to go to relax, feel pampered and be totally indulged, bathing beneath a triple sun whose brilliance is scattered and diffused by glittering skies with some of the greatest tanning power ever known.
In the early days of the galaxy the suntan was decidedly downmarket – a sign of working class civilizations forced to toil in fields beneath the baking heat of natural sunlight, deprived of such luxuries as sunscreen, parasols and the cool shade of the shopping mall.
In the earliest days of galactic society, socialites and courtesans would go to ridiculous lengths to preserve their blanched pallor – injecting their pores with anti-tanning agents and airbrushing their faces with thick white make-up made from ground alabastrum from the quarry-pits of Zentalquabula and laced with deadly toxins guaranteed to neutralize the slightest mole or freckle that might appear on their skin.
Only when Judiciary Pag took a Spa-Cruise on Vod after passing judgement on the people of Krikkit did the floodgates open and the permatan became a symbol of radiant health, jet-set wealth, and fresh-faced beauty.
It wasn't long before Vod became the most popular tanning world in the galaxy as entire generations came to bake their bodies under its triple suns. Entire species became tan-addicts, binge-sunbathing across the length and breadth of the galaxy until long-term exposure to cosmic rays forced mass extinctions and evolutionary mutations which included that of the bleached blind Belcerebon Beachwhales of the Rudlit Desert, whose inert sun-soaking fat-cells generated enough piezoelectric energy to power the amplifiers used in the legendary Rock Band Disaster Area's Kakrafoon Solar Concert. The resulting shockwave caused a further evolutionary mutation which turned them into the deaf, blind Sandvoles of the Rudlit Rift.
