The world is noted for some interesting native life forms. The absence of atmospheric oxygen has precluded traditional cellular respiration. Nitrogen cycles are predominate but others exist.

The largest flying anaerobic heterotrophic consumers in the subsector, are found here. The large gliders, soar in the thick air amid the oddly colored clouds, some filter air plankton species others are deadly efficient carnivores.

The planet's elliptical orbit also necessitates long hibernation cycles for the macro-fauna.

The biochemistry where water and oxygen are scarce means they are highly toxic for the world's sentient population to consume. Carefully protected green house gardens and farms are critical to survival and serve to limit population growth. Polar ice mines ship water via high speed rail to the bigger settlements which serve as resource distribution hubs.
