Grendel

• It is a member of the Third Imperium in the Alderamin Subsector of Solomani Rim Sector in the Domain of Sol.

Description (Planetology)

It is a water world with two small moons.

• Grendel contains an Ancients site, apparently an Ancient bio-engineering facility. Although physical traces of the Ancients are scant, the species on Grendel are "seeded" from other worlds, including Terra. A number of Grendel's higher animals show clear signs of genetic tampering from ~300k years prior.
