Remarks

Native Lifeform: Adayn[edit]

The planet is plagued by a hermaphroditic insect, the Adayn, that attacks in massive swarms and eats anything organic. So far, pesticides have proved useless in controlling it. It is the primary threat to the subsector's food supply.

History and background[edit]

Chandra's World is the "breadbasket" of Pact. The planet is primarily concerned with producing food for the subsector but has established a reputation for genetically enhanced basic food crops. One of the main seasonal crops is Ayau, which is used as a flour substitute by humans; however, a certain strain, Rea Ayau, was recently found to bring on psychotic schizophrenia and act like a combat drug on Aslan. So far, no conclusive evidence has surfaced as to why this strain should effect Aslan in this particular way.

The Imperial Research station is apparently studying the crop.
