Flowing Fields

__NOTOC__
Flowing Fields is a planet in the Four Pillars system. It is controlled by the Coalition.
== Description ==
During the rainy season, the plants on Flowing Fields grow so rapidly that the grass can tower more than three meters tall. Although they look verdant and serene when viewed from a distance, the grasslands are also home to many dangerous predators, including hundreds of species of snakes and ferocious packs of carnivorous rodents that can bring down animals many times their size. During the dry season, the rodent packs build domed hutches out of woven grass and mud where they shelter from the sun and the dusty wind.
Most of the Saryd dwellings are in the temperate forests, but they have converted almost a tenth of the grasslands into farms.
== Spaceport ==
Nearly everything within a hundred kilometers of the spaceport is farmland, punctuated with occasional small villages where the farm workers live. The villages and the spaceport itself are each surrounded by walls that keep dangerous animals at bay, as well as shielding the inhabitants from the flash floods that come at the very start of the rainy season.
The farms operate by embedding seeds in the dirt during the dry season, when the ground is hard baked clay and heavy machines can drive over it without sinking in. When the rains come, the clay turns to mud and the crops begin to sprout.

* Coalition planets and stations cannot be dominated.
* Landing on Flowing Fields requires a reputation of 15; this cannot be bypassed through bribery.
