Samurr is a machine moon in the Essia system that was brought there by the Yamatai Star Empire as a gift to Nagashun.

Samurr won the SARPY Award for Best Generated Artwork of 2022.

This planet, Samurr, was once a vibrant colony of my people, the Essai Collective. The Essai have long been in conflict with large Kingdom called Kuvexia, who meddled in our affairs and collected our worlds for their own twisted purposes. Eventually they set their sights on Samurr and attacked in great force, flooding the planet with an infestation of insectoids who are spread throughout this galaxy called the Rixxikor, who infiltrated Xurrmurrluvormuir-Shalurbrurrkamirrr's systems and caused him to become disabled.

However, after 250 years in Kuvexian control, Samurr was invaded by a force of artificial intelligences who took control of the main systems and used the planet to tour the galaxy eliminating all organic life they could find. Eventually, I was able to engineer my own creations and fight them back so they now only live on the surface. However their insane leader has merged with Xurrmurrluvormuir-Shalurbrurrkamirrr's computer core and if activated, he will attempt to wipe out all organics once more. Thus the planet was placed in a state of stasis and quarantine¹⁾.

In YE 44.5, the YSS Resurgence paid Soon Bardoon of Sood Zadra 10 million KS (financed by the Empress Himiko I) for the location of Samurr. Resurgence sent a team to Samurr and captured it in YE 44.6 in Resurgence of Yamatai - Mission 6: Machine Moon.

In 45.2, the YSS Kōun visited Samurr in [YSS Koun] Mission Two: The Machine with a Heart.

It was a chaotic star system around an orange-yellow star, crowded with billions of pieces of debris from massive wars thousands of years before the Resurgence's arrival, and the scattered remains of what had once been planets in its orbit were blown to pieces that lifelessly circled around as if they had faith or hope to be restored some day. In the midst of all this was a huge metallic object, a sleeping giant, a bringer of death, and a glimmer of hope for Yamatai. This was their machine moon.

Samurr can only be reached by starship or shuttle.

Samurr is populated by robots, minor AIs, and roving Rixxikor.
