Gunsmoke
No Man's Land or Gunsmoke (in the anime) is a desert planet and the primary location in which events take place in the Trigun series. It is located within the binary star system Delta Trianguli (Delta Tri) and is known to have at least five moons orbiting it.
History
Not much is known about No Man's Land before the Project SEEDS starships crash-landed on its surface. However, several species of alien animals including sandworms and a group of sentient hive-minded insects lived on the desolate planet before "The Big Fall." One-hundred-and-fifty years prior to the series' beginning, Knives altered the Project SEEDS fleet flight trajectory with the intent of crashing every ship onto the planet's surface. Thanks to the efforts of Rem Saverem, who managed to reduce the velocity of the fleet at the last minute, a small fraction of the fleet crash-landed on the surface and survived the impact, stranding humanity on Gunsmoke.
For the next 150 years humanity would struggle to survive in the planet's desolate environment, utilizing plants found in the ruins of the crashed ships for food and water while building cities and towns around them. Over time what would become known as the Seven Cities would be built, making them the cultural and political hubs of the planet.
