==Astronomical Data== | |||
Capella Four was the fourth planet orbiting the double star [[Wikipedia:Capella|Capella]] in the constellation [[Wikipedia:Auriga|Auriga]]. As both stars were quite hot, Capella Four was a warm world, with a desert-like biome. | |||
Its native life was remarkable for its uniformity: native flora was dominated by plants resembling Earth's bracken fern (26 species, all identical except for size), while native fauna was restricted to 18 species of a nocturnal spider-like creature, also identical except for size. The fern-like plants and spider-like creatures were all consumable by humans. ([[BFBS]]: ''[[Steal from the World]]'' ) | |||
