Native Lifeforms

The planet's ecosystem is dominated by fungi; mushroom-like lifeforms hundreds of meters tall form fungal forests, while thick carpets of mold form 'plains'. The atmosphere is tainted with spores that can fatally infest the unprotected lungs of a Human.

Burgess considers itself at war with the Aslan Hierate, and the populace are kept in a constant state of paranoia; invasion drills are held every day.
