"Burning Sands" is in reference to the geographic area in the world of Champions Online in the American Southwest. It's also referred to simply as "Desert".
This area was once known as White Sands, New Mexico. But then, after repeated nuclear testing in the 1950's... not to mention an alien crash or two... the area became known as "Burning Sands"; a place deemed too toxic for some heroes to be in without getting sick.
For reasons that defy common sense (not to mention basic human decency), this is also the location of Stronghold Prison, the "super" of "Supermax" correctional facilities, where the worst of the worst of the worst are housed. It is not far from both the infamous Area 51 and UNTIL's Project Greenskin program.
