Planet Rl'lowo

## Sigma LIbrae System

The solar system surrounding the star HIP 73513 is the location of a very rare Trojan pair of Class-M planets that both developed their own native sentient life. The first species to develop was on the smaller of the Class-M planets, a humanoid species that had developed in the tidal areas of their oceans and shared many traits with Terran canines.

On closer inspection it contains two Class-M planets that orbit each other and show signs of a sublight spacefaring civilization that has recently destroyed itself.

## Rl'lowo

Rl'lowo developed an agricultural civilization even before the Vulcans had developed their first civilizations. Tribal city-states quickly developed and by approximately 180,000 BCE (Before Common Era), the beings of Rl’lowo (Walking Waters) had developed heavy industries and later orbital space flight,

With the ship between both worlds at a gravitationally stable point, survey teams are deployed to both planets surfaces and shuttles are launched to investigate some orbital artifacts around each world, including debris near the Lagrange points of the worlds. What becomes clear is that both worlds have recently, in astronomical terms, suffered extreme asteroid bombardments and both are still in the midst of global impact winters and a mass extinction event

## Asteroid Bombardment

Shipboard sensors aren’t very helpful as the asteroid bombardment that occurred on both planets made large quantities of heavy metals, iridium, and osmium to coat the surface and blow as dust through the atmosphere. This is why away teams must do most of the planet-side information gathering.

the likelihood of two planets being struck by extinction level impact events at the same time are literally astronomical. The heavy bombardment still has large amounts of heavy metal and iridium laced dust blowing through the atmosphere, helping make sensor readings from orbit difficult at best.

Due to the intersecting orbits, the dual worlds have been cleared of asteroids and other debris that would threaten them, making the likelihood of two planets being struck by extinction level impact events at the same time are literally astronomical. In that both worlds’ climate and biomes were seriously disrupted with multiple impacts of asteroids larger than the dinosaur killing asteroid that struck Earth 65 million years previously.

## Impact site Investigation

On Stardate 200524 the USS Solstice sent an investigation team down to the surface, taking shuttles 2,3, and 4, with a compliment of 18 and cargo and transport enhancers a base camp was started inside a local cargo depot that still was receiving power and made for reasonable shelter.

During the tactical patrol a few points of interest were found in the area. Down the street west of the basecamp are a couple apartment buildings that would need a more in depth search. a garage with truck and tools was found near by that can be studied, a bank was found with a large vault door which was frozen shut, if the door was defrosted what would be found inside? A movie theater was found to the north, however the building was structurally unstable. Further building will be investigated on future patrols.
