OPENING PUROL.DOC

Purol is the third planet discovered around the star Palen (designation: Ludwig-94135). It is smaller, less massive, denser, and warmer than Earth. In the distant past, it had a moon--Kox--that aided greatly in the evolution of life on this planet. At some point, it was destroyed by the planets Roche limit, and formed dark yet large, rocky rings.

The climate is balmy, being warmer and more humid, and the atmosphere is considerably denser than that of Earths, despite the pressure being roughly 12% higher. The atmosphere has lethal amounts of Sulfur Dioxide and Carbon Dioxide, as well as an unusual amount of Xenon.

This makes the atmosphere inhospitable for open-air Earth life. However, the lifeforms are well suited for this, having multi-chambered lungs to deal with the other gases, and symbiotic sulfur-oxidizing microbes that are present within respiratory and gut tissues to convert the sulfur dioxide into sulfates.

The vegetation uses some of chlorophyll (d or f) for photosynthesis to better absorb the *slightly* less energy received (~140 W/m2 less than Earth), as well as retinal, which give the vegetation purple hues.

Despite this new frontier seeming like a perfect, untouched paradise for our operations. The sapient species that call this world home, known as the Puriin (Quamquam Callidus) make it just a bit more difficult
