Meadow is considered the Fourth planet in the El Nanth rosette. It is not noted for anything special. It has Ane on it, and produces a goodly amount of fresh produce on automated farms in the upper temperate belts.
Ecology[]
The most notable thing about the Rosette ecology is the lack of bio-diversity. A careful observer will quickly note what is not there more quickly than what is there. Not found are any carnivores larger than a Terran fox. No herbivores larger than a Terran rabbit, other than the Ane themselves, and no carnivorous orthinoids of any size. A full range of invertebrate insectiods is found, other than those with toxins. Orthinoids of small and medium size are found in numbers. Land animals are limited to the scavengers that any ecosystem needs and small herbivores. In no case are any of them big enough to threaten even a newborn Ane. Land animals are found in both mammals and reptiles. Curiously enough, six legs seems to be the standard for both. Sea creatures run the full range of both size and food supply. Ane it has been noted, are not great swimmers.
Locations[]
Meadow Farm Central[]
Location and depot for the running of the automated farms. Repair facilities, processing, and packaging plants are located here as well. Most of the workers are Aneilogs or native Ansisi.
Common vegetables are the blue radish (tastes like a radish), oom trees and other native flora. No non native plants are produced as the sun will not allow for that.
The Painted Valley[]
A shallow bowl shaped valley in the Nedanam hills the painted valley is filled with color shifting flowers most of the year. While the Iradian flower is common throughout the rosette they are concentrated in this location to the exclusion of other plants.
The Iradian flower blooms throughout the year producing new flowers every three weeks or so. The color shifts depending on how the light hits it. Beautiful a few at a time, stunning when you have a valley full of them blowing in the wind.
The Soda Sea[]
A lake in the equatorial region that is setting on a large deposit of soda. The water seeps that feed the lake are dissolving the soda leaving the lake itself alkaline and "fizzy". The alkalinity is not sufficient to be harmful in any way, but swimming in the water will leave you lightly coated in soda. It is also great for an acid stomach.
