Thick mats of algal gels and transplanted succulents resistant to arid conditions are grown across the bottom of the canyon. The polarized, light filtering canopy is fashioned in huge 1 km square panels to shade the entire area. Small gaps along the rocky walled of the deep trench do little to prevent the retention of humidity and higher oxygen concentrations. | He has 100km2 of personal property.

History & Background (Dossier)[edit]
He has 100km2 of personal property. He owns and operates a ranch and has a separate palatial estate on an isolated mesa. His underground electric rail lines connect and service these locations. He is experimenting with an imported herd animal which he has had genetically modified to be more suitable to this world's harsh environment. On the floor of his deep canyon he has located his working ranch. This hidden valley ranch is covered by a vast inflated canopy tethered to the canyon walls. This allows a micro-climate to persist along the floor of the canyon. He uses company assets to fund these experiments as part of the planetary economic development mandate. Thick mats of algal gels and transplanted succulents resistant to arid conditions are grown across the bottom of the canyon. The polarized, light filtering canopy is fashioned in huge 1 km square panels to shade the entire area. Small gaps along the rocky walled of the deep trench do little to prevent the retention of humidity and higher oxygen concentrations.
