This planet has the conditions to be comfortable for human habitation. Dinosaurs produced by either coincidental evolution, or runaway genetic experimentation roam the planet.
The planet is a mix of rich grassland and barren desert.
The only concentrations of note are settlements clustered around large crystal pyramids. Even from space, these pyramids give off enormous amounts of MES energy.
It was later confirmed by the far trader, Valentina, that these pyramids allow the natives to teleport between them. The western settlement would later be destroyed by Valentina, pre her days of running the Guild of Exploration and Trade, when an orbital bombardment was called in despite the ships not being equipped to do so.
The bandits she had been attempting to prosecute there escaped the inferno, and were later recruited into Protectorate service by Kayden Zayre.
The survivors now mostly live in the southern settlement, though are trying to reclaim their old home. They were elevated from their humble beginnings to Tech Level 4 in early 2669, though civilization has been hard to graft on to this world.
In the waning months of 2669, the Elysium Protectorate established a ranch for the cultivation and export of small dinosaurs as exotic pets on the planet.
In August of 2669, several thousand Noctua survivors fleeing the Chimeran Ascendency were permitted to settle on the planet and were officially welcomed as Protectorate citizens. This group has made their home in the ruins of the settlement in the center of the planet. The slagged remains of the crystal pyramid have become the centerpoint for a new settlement and the Noctua are reported to be hard at work trying to make the bombardment zone bloom again to mixed results.
