 Since the discovery of Secunda Major, the Mining Guild was chartered by the [[shards:ndc]] to go to the system.  Their mission was to extract the abundant mineral wealth of the system's asteroid fields, known for their rich deposits of rare metals and gemstones. And since creating Station Omacron from some of the metal from the asteroids, and sacrificed ships they did just that.  Since the discovery of Secunda Major, the Mining Guild was chartered by the [[shards:ndc]] to go to the system.  Their mission was to extract the abundant mineral wealth of the system's asteroid fields, known for their rich deposits of rare metals and gemstones.

Nestled within the rocky craters were vibrant patches of flora unlike anything they had ever seen. Strange, glowing plants that emitted a soft, ethereal light, these plants not only thrived in the vacuum of space but appeared to be interconnected in an intricate ecosystem.+For five years, the Guild had been exploiting the abundant mineral resources found within Sector A and B of their massive asteroid field, extracting precious metals, gemstones, and valuable ores, and they suspected Sector C and beyond, would be the same way.

 The discovery of these alien floras piqued the interest of both scientists and miners alike. They soon realized that the flora had attracted unique forms of fauna, creatures that flitted around the asteroid's surface, feeding on the luminescent plants. In this unlikely place, a miniature ecosystem had flourished, defying all expectations. The discovery of these alien floras piqued the interest of both scientists and miners alike.

 One of their most remarkable traits is their ability to absorb minerals as a source of nourishment. Their crystalline petals act as natural receptors, allowing them to extract essential nutrients from the surrounding soil and rocks. This unique adaptation enables them to survive in barren landscapes where traditional sources of sustenance are scarce. One of their most remarkable traits is their ability to absorb minerals as a source of nourishment.

These humble organisms have evolved remarkable traits that allow them to flourish in conditions that would be inhospitable to most life forms.
  
 One of the key adaptations of these Lichen species is their ability to thrive in environments with minimal sunlight. In the shadowy depths of asteroid fields, where direct sunlight is a rarity, traditional photosynthetic organisms would struggle to survive. However, Lichens have developed alternative strategies to harness energy. Through a process called chemosynthesis, they can derive energy from chemical compounds present in their surroundings, bypassing the need for sunlight. This ingenious adaptation allows them to thrive in the dimly lit crevices and craters of asteroids, where other life forms would falter. One of the key adaptations of these Lichen species is their ability to thrive in environments with minimal sunlight.

-These Faunas have adapted to life in the ice driftswhich has since became a dwarf planet.+the Faunas of the dwarf planet formed from the merging ice drifts. These diverse and resilient creatures have adapted to the extreme conditions of their icy habitat, carving out a niche for themselves amidst the frozen expanse. 
 + 
 +From the depths of the icy oceans to the windswept plains of frozen tundra, the Faunas of the dwarf planet exhibit a stunning diversity of forms and adaptations. Some creatures, resembling aquatic organisms, glide gracefully through the frigid waters, their bodies streamlined for efficiency as they hunt for prey or navigate the icy depths. Others, resembling terrestrial animals, roam the frozen landscapes in search of food and shelter, their fur coats providing insulation against the biting cold. 
 + 
 +But it is not just their physical appearance that sets the Faunas of the dwarf planet apart; it is their remarkable ability to survive and thrive in an environment where few other life forms dare to venture. These creatures have evolved ingenious strategies for coping with the extreme cold and limited resources of their icy home. Some species have antifreeze proteins in their blood, allowing them to withstand subzero temperatures without freezing solid. Others have thick layers of blubber or fur to insulate their bodies and retain heat in the frigid environment.
