Penta

"The lifeless grey of this planet is interrupted only by the violet flowers that grow from strange, parasitic outcroppings."

- Official Description

Penta is one of the four planets that reside within the Lacaille Sector.

Topography
Although a seemingly a lifeless grey rock from orbit, the topography of Penta is actually comparable to some of the massive boreal and primeval forests of Super-Earth prior to the last great war, though obviously less colorful and much less dense.

The density of the planets foliage can range from being sparse to surprisingly dense, with rocky outcroppings, freezing rivers, drooping evergreen palms and colorless Cycad plants breaking up the banks of perpetual fog that cover the planet. The only natural color to be found comes from a verity of violet flowers that grow from strange, parasitic outcroppings.

Despite its somewhat 'uncomfortable' temperatures, Petra is quite forgiving compared to other, more hostile planets, with it's abundant native foliage, plentiful water sources and an atmosphere that won't immediately freeze a human as soon as they step outside their habitats. Thus Penta is one of the many planets colonized by the Federation of Super Earth.
