Dandoor

A terrae with very dark flora. Upon close inspection, the plants are actually darker shade of blue and purple.

## Additional Information

### Life

Organic Multicellular (Marine, Terrestrial)

## Description

One of five planets orbiting the star Lilenn, it is the habitable planet of that system. This planet is located 408.07 million light years from Earth in the "tail" portion of the Tadpole Galaxy, in which it is 616.57 thousand light years from galactic center. About the size of Mars, though slightly bigger, it means that it has about lower gravity than that of Earth. The landscape is mostly forest, though with occasional plains, and mountains.

The life here have obtained mega sizes due to the gravity, with the tallest having a height of about 23.7 meters breathing in atmosphere of O2 and CO2; unfit for human inhalation. Almost all of the terrestrial animals are aggressive since most of the wildlife are amush predators that are camouflaged and well adapted to the environment. Marine life are mostly passive, being tamed around humans who encounter them, though will react if provoked. Most of them are microbes, but small to large vaguely cetacean-like organism are also found in the water. The plants are also as massive, with some as high about 200 meters with their leaves possessing pigments that make the plant have dark-purple or dark-blue coloration. The trees here possessed canopies that don't touch each other, even in close proximity, similar to the crown shyness phenomenon on Earth, the exact reason is unknown. Lower-lying plants form thick groves which makes it difficult to move into the interior. To add to it, most develop defenses such as sharp leaves, poison, and barbs. As a result the planet is mostly unexplored, with only the explored areas are near the coast and the interior remains a world of mysteries.

It has no foreign population, and currently under the control of the Panoza Federation, based and headquartered in Analzoa. Due to this, it is a hot bed for exploration and viewing wildlife initiated by the government in Analzoa since its initial discovery in 6110. Wildlife observation is mainly limited to coast since it is out of harm of the interior, however still they can be dangerous so whoever visits Dandoor have to be very careful of the environment and must be well trained prior.

## Explorations

Explorations are mainly to explore the interior of each of the continents of Dandoor. Most of which ends in failure, due to attacks or plant-related injuries or deaths. Jordon Sol had once been on the team, and said that "This was eregious". The only explored areas of Dandoor are its coastal areas or near large bodies of water as most life here (except for semi-aquatic marine life) are aquaphobic. It has undergone at least 67 explorations, the following are the well known.

The following are four explorations conducted in Dandoor:

* Exploration 3:

Description: Located in the furthest large island, west of Wedoww, five explorers trekked into the interior of the island which is a shrubland with plants that are taller than them. They encounter dangerous plants in the area, but mostly avoided them due to a specialized suit. Just minutes into the trek, they were attacked by a predator which attacked the communicator, followed by the others, the camera dropped with screams heard from the explorers for a couple of seconds before communication was cut. They have since been declared missing, presumed dead and attempts to find them have been met with failure.

* Exploration 12:

Description: Located in Menno in the coast where it faces Panne, two explorers, both scientists are setting up camp when a predator resembling an insectoid ambushed the two. One of them holding a gun shot the animal in the chest, causing it to die immediately. It's remains were examined by them, and here are the results:

1. The brain of the animal is located in the located in the chest region where it was shot. This was noticed when it was cut in the part it was shot in.
2. Blood is proven to be acidic and corrosive as skin contact can result in the melting of the skin of one scientist.
3. Blood is blue in color.
4. Six-legged rather than Four-legged unlike Tetrapods on Earth.
5. In the case of this specimen, it has venomous gland like structures located on top of the head where "brain" should be.

Its remains were preserved and transported for further research.

* Exploration 47:

Description: Located in Neiri, the southern continent, a team of 20 explorers lead by a lead scientist trekked towards the South Pole. All are armed in case of aggression from animals. While traversing through the forest, they encountered open areas in the region consisting of lichen like organisms in the forest floor. But they ignored these areas as they only camp once they reach the South Pole about three hours later. At this time, night has fallen and settle for the night. Upon setting up camp in the South Pole, communications cut out and was never established until four hours later where the team communicate via satellites. They claimed something attacked them through the night and retreat to the coast in close proximity to the area, but due to the thick vegetation and heavy concentration of animals, there were casualties before a search team manage to find them. Only two survived the night and were treated of their injuries.

* Exploration 65:

Description: Located in Istra, near a large lake, seven explorers trekked through the interior via a small plains. One explorer, Ana Violet (a distant cousin of Sol) took this photo of the plains they were in. The plants in the photo closely resemble ivy and reports from explorers indicated that they are harmless. The animals in the region are surprisingly do not display aggression, though they did encounter an elephant size plant eater grazing, in which they approach to which animal respond by charging at them causing at least one injury.

Explorations into the interior are still ongoing.

## The Panne Lady

Aside from very risky exploration, there was also the legend of the Panne Lady. Legends say that an unnamed female individual went on an exploration on the island continent of Panne, only to never be seen again.

*“Man, as if she vanished or something.” -Ana Violet*

Not long after, explorers who explored Panne, began reports of a strange woman strolling along a beachside. She is described as a young woman with having black hair, pale skin, with white eyes, and a mouth that was stitched. Those who try to approach her, she immediately vanished into thin air. She is dubbed “The Panne Lady”, this phenomenon has been ongoing that only the bravest can go to for exploration or just to find her. Legend has it that if anyone encounters her directly, they are immediately strangulated to death by her before vanishing from existence. If the Panne Lady stares at someone, they teleport to them and kill them in the same way. If anyone dares enter Panne alone will never be seen again, which re-enacts the person who vanished and became the Panne Lady.

She is always seen wearing a uniform similar that used by the Freedom Tail Amphibious Assault (FTAA) fighters in the Analzoan civil war (6999-7003), suggesting it was a fighter that deserted since it not uncommon for fighters to desert. The identity of this individual is still debated, what was known is that it must of been a FTAA fighter that somehow fled from and landed on Dandoor, but exact fate this individual is unknown.

The existence of the Panne Lady started out as rumours by Panne explorers, but became wide spread and mainstream in Analzoa by the end of 7003 (after the civil war). This causes fear of those who want to explore Dandoor. It became an issue that a special process has to be enacted to prevent any further panic. Although Panne explorers claimed to see the Panne Lady, they brought back almost no physical evidence of their claims, instead being more of a mythical legend rather than a actual fact that they see the phenomenon that was brought to attention.
