The planet of Darkseid and the New Gods.

Description[]

Apokolips is a planet that, from a distance, appears to have an artificially smooth surface except for large crater-like openings (called fire- or solar-pits elsewhere) filled with lava that emit long plumes of flame like a blast furnace. The surface has linear patterns on it like those of a printed circuit board, and some of the lines appear to be canals with lava in them running to or from the craters.

Apokolips01

At ground level there is a scene of perpetual night-time, but we can still see that there are many skyscraper-like buildings set against a red sky. One of these buildings is said to be Darkseid's citadel and contains the war room of Steppenwolf which is protected by parademons and a large "demon dog".

Apokolips02

Another residence of Darkseid contains his throne which is set high up on a structure like a Mayan pyramid while the whole building sits in a lake of lava.

Apokolips03

Apokolips is usually said to exist outside of space and time, and travelling to and from it is done via a travel portal called a 'Boom Tube' which is a local technology. However, in this series, Superman and Space Cabbie are seen to travel there quite easily as though it is like any other planet. Also, the Justice League themselves make use of Boom Tubes on occasions, and are able to detect their use on Apokolips using the scanners in the Watchtower.
