Idyllic landscapes of verdant green savannahs; deeply forested mountains with wide, deep streams forming beautiful waterfalls flowing eventually to grand freshwater oceans populated by huge fish and friendly porpoise like creatures. With a .92 gravity, warm rains, and wild fruits, vegetables, and berries in a constant state of bloom, Обман is virtually perfect.... If you consider perfection to be an ideal planetary garden populated by poison resistant half meter diameter insects that explode when they take physical damage. The settlers of Обман (Deception) found these roaming flying vermin to be significantly more than a simple nuisance when they erected their shelters, and first found the insects crawling on a wall. The first settler to discover the negative effect of smashing one of these creatures was one Ivan Nikolievich Khandzjeiv who found half a dozen of them crawling around one side of the base of a grain silo. One well aimed stone, later, and a 100 meter tall silo 3/4 full of grain fell on top of poor hapless Ivan, as one exploding insect caused its neighbor to also erupt, fully destroying that side of the base of the silo. Thus far, all attempts to create a toxin affecting these insects and not the other fauna (or flora) of the planet have failed, miserably, and thus the planet remains uninhabited by sentient races of the Confederation, and is rather pristine; save for a half destroyed settlement grown over with vegetation, testament to the failure of humanity to tame Eden to its whim. Planet Name: Обман (Deception)Distance from Primary: 1.0045 AUGravity: .92 Earth GravityAxial Tilt: 0%Atmosphere: Oxygen, Nitrogen, trace elements. BreathableAtmospheric Pressure: 1.1 at sea level.Land Mass: 42% of the planet's surface. Oceans: 58% of the planet's surface is covered with fresh water oceans. Inhabited: Insectoid, mammalian, reptile, avian, amphibious, fish. Wide varieties of flying, crawling, slithering, and walking animals with various numbers of limbs. Wide variety of plant life including imported Terran varieties of grains, fruit trees and vegetables which now thrive in the area surrounding the one destroyed settlement.[am I missing anything from this entry? I'm not a scientist, so I didn't include mass, and density and all that... just what was necessary for my game.]</blockquote>
