Aurora

Aurora, El Nanth C, is considered the third planet in the El Nanth rosette. It is possessed of a great deal of mineral wealth. It has Ane on it.
===Ecology===
The most notable thing about the Rosette ecology is the lack of bio-diversity. A careful observer will quickly note what is not there more quickly than what is there. Not found are any carnivores larger than a Terran fox. No herbivores larger than a Terran rabbit, other than the Ane themselves, and no carnivorous orthinoids of any size. A full range of invertebrate insectiods is found, other than those with toxins. Orthinoids of small and medium size are found in numbers. Land animals are limited to the scavengers that any ecosystem needs and small herbivores. In no case are any of them big enough to threaten even a newborn Ane. Land animals are found in both mammals and reptiles. Curiously enough, six legs seems to be the standard for both. Sea creatures run the full range of both size and food supply. Ane it has been noted, are not great swimmers.
==Locations==
===Alcolin Rift Valley===
3000 mile long dry rift that dates from before the planet was even class M. The valley floor varies from a few hundred feet to several miles wide flanked by tall cliffs. The upper plateau is savanna while the rift itself is lush jungle. A string of lakes is found in the wider parts of the rift.
===Aurora Mines===
The mines are currently in development as quicjkly as they can be developed. the Ane know what is in there and it is needed No venting will be allowed. 
The mines can produce a number of highly valued items. 
*Dilithium: The stuff of Starship engines
*Disodium: Kept in mind, not yet useful.
*Auroran power crystals: The Ane have not sold any of these to the public, or really explained the "power crystal" label. 
*Gold: Gold, duh, hundreds of uses both aesthetic and technological.
*Iridium: Necessary component of warp coils.
*Trititanium: Starship framing metal of choice.
*Latinum: The hard cash of choice, once you realize it..
