The reason for their stopover was to avoid their craft being detected approaching Nugia. They would teleport themselves into the heart of the only established city on Nugia, Su. This stunt was possible because Brian had visited the planet before as part of a good relations tour with the members of the Pantheon, Lord Marduk and Maelgwn. On that visit, Lord Marduk’s party had only been introduced to the small, upper class society of the city, and only shown a brief glimpse of the slightly larger working class community. SU meant ‘desolate city’, and was the name the Nefilim had given to the remote outpost that, by all accounts, was fast becoming a ghost town. The Leonines had another name for it — SU-AMELU, ‘desolate city of slaves’ — for rumour had it that thousands of their kind were born into slavery in the city, and never saw daylight. Only the few Leonines that excelled themselves as good servants to the Nefilim ever knew there was a world beyond the harsh, dark existence of their brethren.
