Native Lifeforms
The oceans are surrounded by high, crater-like mountain ranges causing each to act as separate ecosystems. Most are in the early stages of development and swarm with single cell and early multi-cell organisms. The most important research site is at Ubbo-Sathia where life has not yet formed. This isolated location has remain uncontaminated by development elsewhere and seems to be about to undergo evolution independently. The high volcanic activity in the region coupled with the high mineral content seems to be producing unstable chemicals forming into nucleic and amino acids, the basic elements of life. Visitors to Ubbo-Sathia are restricted to sealed containment suits to prevent contamination of the area.
