Magh Mar is the only habitable planet in orbit around Waller Nexus.
PLANET NAME: Mahg Mar, F2 24.3
CLIMATE RANGE: Tropical, temperate, and arctic zones
ATMOSPHERE: 75% nitrogen, 22% oxygen, 1% argon, and trace elements. Atmosphere is mildly toxic; breathers or life-support systems are necessary.
GRAVITY: .98007
DIAMETER: 12,350 kilometers
LENGTH OF DAYS: 23 hours, 57 minutes GST
TEMPERATURE: -20 to 25 Centigrade at surface
COLONIZERS: No previous recorded visits by Frontier Worlds races.
SURVEYORS: UPF, Planetary Survey Administration, Eleanor Moraes expedition.
HISTORY: Unknown. Scheduled for investigation by the Elaenor Moraes expedition.
Since FS 24.3, Mahg Mar, is a new discovery, very little is known about it. However, the Elaenor Moraes expedition completed preliminary mapping and placed survey satellites in orbit. The Planetary Survey Administration will study the data from these satellites and the robot research station now being readied on the planet. Their findings will be published as they become available.
Although its atmosphere is midly toxic, Mahg Mar may be acceptable for colonization. An abundance of flora and fauna exist, but are uncatalogued at this time. The planet's life zone position indicates a high probability of higher life forms and intelligent beings. Preliminary indications did not reveal evidence of the Sathar, but these findings are not final. Expedition members, as usual, maintain a high degree of readiness until more conclusive research is completed.
The atmosphere of Mahg Mar contains traces of toxic compounds. The atmosphere is breathable, but over an extended period of ti me, characters experience headaches and rapid exhaustion. Characters must wear the breathers provided with the environmental suits in the personal survival kits or sleep in the pressurized bivouac unit to prevent the following unpleasant symptoms.
After three hours of breathing the atmosphere of Mahg Mar, characters experience severe headaches (-30% from intuition and logic) and tire easily (-20 from stamina, and unable to travel for more than eight hours without rest). They return to normal after 10 hours out of the atmosphere. Feel free to take steps to make wearing the environmental suit undesirable. For example, decrease reaction speed by 20 points for limited vision, or reduce stamina by 5 points because of the ventilation and added encumbrance. This will make the decision whether or not to wear the suit a matter of practical importance in the game.
Mahg Mar is a beautiful planet with an abundance of water and oxygen and a favorable climate for life. Indeed, the rich greens of the continental masses were visible from orbit, and there was much enthusiasm and anticipation for a first-hand look at the planet. The bioscience reports suggested substantial probability of higher life forms.Mahg Mar is a beautiful planet with an abundance of water and oxygen and a favorable climate for life.

Thorough mapping and remote study of the planet was made from orbit. Then an automatic survey satellite was placed in orbit. It will transmit various information back to the Planetary Survey Administration.
