The Environment are the factors associated with a specific location within Charted Space usually a planet or world through the study of planetology.
- Typically environments are associated with specific life-supporting factors on terrestrial worlds.
Description (Specifications)[edit]
These various factors include:
- Physical factors: What is the surface of the world, if present, solids or liquids? Perhaps even gases?
- Atmosphere
- Gravity
- Hydrographics
- Size
- Biological factors: Does the environment support life?
- Conventional Life AKA Wet Life (organic)
- Unconventional Life AKA Dry Life (inorganic)
- Exotic Life AKA Strange Life (Neither organic nor inorganic)
- Chemical factors: Does the environment support a beneficial biochemistry?
Biotic vs. Abiotic[edit]
- Life-supporting environments are called biotic as in capable of supporting organic lifeforms.
- Environments which do not support conventional life are known as abiotic, or not capable of supporting organic lifeforms.
Terrain[edit]
No information yet available.
