Editing Amazing Deliveries (section)

==Surface Conditions==

It is hot and the air is unbreathable. Those are the main two points. Unprotected exposure does not result in instant death, but in gradually worsening condition that ends in death within some hours.

It is also barren. The vegetation is mostly mosses, lichens, ferns, and at most thorny bushes. The trees shown in history books are gone. The carbon dioxide in the air might otherwise be a boon for vegetation, but the soil does not support large growth, and larger plants have a harder time enduring the powerful storms. Some people dream of restoring the surface by creating plant life that can thrive on surface conditions and re-creating the vast greenery of the past, but so far this is just a dream.

Some fauna exists too, but those are mainly hardy lizards and burrowing mammals.

Deliverer rigs are insulated and air conditioned, and designed for lengthy travel, so surface conditions normally become an issue only when there is need to step outside the rig.
