Fernandos is now home to many off world creatures such as the Haruk,Ssala, the last known Calamar, Dinosaurs, strange water life forms, odd looking fowls and odd rodents. Like Earth Fernandos has a variety of plants, caves, lakes, oceans, mountains and beaches.
History[]
During its early developing stages, Polaris IV was used to create top secret life forms by the JMC. However like all things the JMC created the base was eventually destroyed and the experiments escaped. After the JMC failure all known data about this planet was lost. According to the new data found by the crew of the Blue Dwarf, Fernandos has had an increase in various life forms not indigenous to the planet. While expolring the crew found a device that creates an EM field around the planet. "The device has been identified as a Kinemassic Generator. The secondary gravitational field or "kinemassic" field as termed, has the ability to alter gravitational interaction. When the spin polarized material is placed in gyroscopic set of gimbals and is undulated, a secondary gravitational wave is generated that is not shieldable by currently available materials. These waves that were produced by such action and were detected by a gallium arsenide detector that was placed inside a Faraday Cage. Such a screening device would shield conventional electromagnetic forces if they were of local origin."
It is unknown why the device is on the planet or who installed. it, but it can only be speculated that the Kinemassic Generator was put on the planet to keep something on the planet or serve as a trap for ships nearby.
