Ashlar is the main setting for the 2001 feature film Planet of the Apes. It is a planet in a galaxy beyond the Crab Nebula. Its population consists of humans and apes who behave and act like humans themselves.
Background[]
One billion years ago, comets bombarded Ashlar, causing great pain to the dominant life-form - the 'Great Nest', a species of brachiopods controlled by a insectile hive-mind known as 'The Core'. This left the planet covered in massive craters that, over time, formed mountainous valleys.
