.planet information.
An overall temperate planet with a rich atmosphere unaltered by mankind. Its terrain is vast and the size of the planet is incredible. The terrain, with what we've documented, has bleak red-sanded deserts, miles upon miles of meadows, endless rocky mountains and hillsides, and even extremely lush tropical rainforests- and we haven't even explored all of it! It reminds us of a lot of Earth if you don't consider the massive size difference.
Unlike Earth, however, the chilling temperatures don't limit themselves to the opposite ends of the planet's equator. The blistering cold of Winter bears no mercy upon the inhabitants, particularly in the Northern quadrant of the Western hemisphere, but Summers explode with life and treat the wildlife quite well with milder heat which Earth once had. The clear nights are also quite a wonderful sight- every single star in the sky is visible, and the planet's moon shines bright.
It is very much inhabitable by humans, but there are predators that make it incredibly dangerous for us to settle. The Felidus species' aren't incredibly far between, but each group we've come across tend to keep their distance- and the lone Simas more so. We haven't discovered other species quite yet who are as intelligent as these magnificent creatures, and we've gathered that they're a very important part of this ecosystem. To avoid destroying their territory, there is a protection agreement we've established for this planet to keep it intact.
In more recent visits to study, we've discovered a couple of clearings- villages, it seems. The structures were built remarkably form the resources around them and looked amazing. However, we weren't able to get close enough for a look as the sword mammals fiercely protected it-- and their young hiding within the little huts, we bet. We decided it would be better to observe the Tribes and solo animals from a distance.
