Glade

Glade is the capitol of record for the Ane Confederation. All outworlder contact is done through this planet.
=== 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.
===Space Presence===
High Crystal Station, or Glade Station as it is sometimes called is there. Currently it is uninhabited and uninhabitable. A through survey will have to be made to ascertain the advisability of trying to revitalize this city sized space station.
==Locations==
===Crystal City===
Crystal City was originally built by the El Aurian people 5000 years ago during the Second Empire period. Much of the original city remains today, most buried to the second story and caked in dirt. Human settlers are seeking to recover as much of the city as possible, El Nanth is trying to kill Humans, and it can be very good at it. Crystal City has working technology that can seriously leverage Humans and other people's ability to survive and thrive.
===Zodian Highlands===
At some point in the early history of the El Nanth system the body that would be come Glade had a slow motion impact with a body about half its size. The impact did not throw off a great deal of debris, but it made Glade the least round of all the El Nanth worlds. There is still a significant crustal bulge where "Zoda" hit Glade. This forms the Zodian highlands. An arid steppe along the equator. The highlands are roughly 500 kilometers across and have little in the way of hills. A gradual rise in elevation and some of the largest gullies you will ever see on the Western side of the highlands. A landscape reminiscent of the Ozark mountains on Earth. The highlands are a nickle-iron area in the middle of a basalt plain.
