Ragol's statistics Atmosphere: 100% Water: 78% Land: 28% Resources: Hydrogen, Oxygen, Nitrogen, Carbon Minerals: All |
The system's other five planets Atmosphere: 14% Water: N/A Land: N/A Resources: Hydrogen Minerals: N/A |
Thus, Ragol is the only inhabitable planet in its system, and the other planets in its system are all remarkably similar. Also of note, the probe listed Ragol as being in the Rris Sector with the following coordinates: X-6789, Y-4322, Z-8954.
| Game description | Map Number | Cartographer's name for area | Surveyed | Cartographer's description |
| Caves 2 Waterfall | 555-AF01 | Subteraenean waterway | A490@902 Beats | Metamorphic rock, active waterway |
| Caves 3 Hallway | 591-AF21 | Subterraenean passage | A483@670 Beat | Igneous rock |
| Caves 1 Room | 522-GF13 | Unstable volcanic chamber | A487@563 Beats | Igneous rock, lava flow |
| Forest 1 | 511-OP40 | Low hills with exposed springs | A420@721 Beats | Floral cover, arboreal growth, active waterway |
| Lava-split Caves 1 Room | 515-OP05 | Semi-stable volcanic chamber | A489@717 Beats | Metamorphic rock fissure, lava flow |
| Forest 1 | 544-EG12 | Low hills with exposed springs | A499@630 Beats | Floral cover, arboreal growth, sedimentary rock |
| Central Dome | 579-IP33 | South-Eastern indent of Central Dome | A420@943 Beats | Floral cover over basaltic and igneous rock |
| Forest 2 | 575-IP28 | North-Eastern corner of Central Dome | A420@952 Beats | Floral cover over basaltic and igneous rock |
The most interesting information to come out of this section is the survey dates. Apparently, Beat time is used on Ragol, and the A4XX part looks to be some kind of dating mechanism. Perhaps this is the way individual days are listed in the AUW calendar in use on Ragol?
|
Bumma [sic] (howardus scotsii) One of three species of clawed bipeds, easily provoked to aggression. |
Evil Shark (unclassified) Little is known about this strange hybrid. Very aggressive. |
Grass Assassin (cukrik ventus) A vicious insect predator with a powerful paralytic sting |
Hildebear (tarlini fergunii) Massive biped. Exhibits many aggressive behaviors including a tremendous vertical leap. |
|
Lag Rappy [sic] (adlelphy pheppii) Non-flying avian creatures formerly known for their docile natures, but recently aggressive. |
Mosmanta [sic] (cukrik tormantus) Blood-sucking airborne native insects. Cannot live far from Mosnesta [sic]. |
Mosnesta [sic] (cukrik tormantus) A gestating insect that births fearsome swarms of flying Mosmanta [sic]. |
Nano Dragon (visigor lesserii) A minor dragon that inhabits the planet. Quick and smarter than it appears. |
|
Puffy Slime [sic] (gerantum stelii) Sulfurous massive member of the slug family. Beware its vertical posture as this signals attack. |
Poison Lily (skizerkin mugaii) Carnivorous flora with poisonous projectile excretions |
Pan Arms (humorous multis) A symbiotic pair of organisms with violent natures. When threatened the pair join to become one deadly creature. |
In this section, the various name mis-spellings are interesting, as are the Latin-like (Palmalatin?) classifications of the monsters, but the part I find most intriguing is that Boomas are listed as "easily provoked to aggression." This would seem to go against what Rico says, "What made the animals become so violent all of a sudden? They weren't before. They were very quiet and friendly..." Note that the survey notes do indicate that Rappies were formerly docile, but Rico refers to animals in the plural. Makes you wonder what kind of survey these ecologists were performing! (And why were the animals studied on an ecological survey anyway... shouldn't their study have been left up to a biological survey team?)
