Biocompatibility Rating Scale
- 1.0: Derived from Terran rootstock. Examples: Earth, Zoo, any human-terraformed world
- 0.9: Close biochemistry, may have some intrinsic poisons or lack of nutrients. Atmosphere will be breathable with no problems. Examples: Londenium, Kanon
- 0.8: Divergent biochemistry, though manageable with appropriate supplements. Atmosphere will remain breathable. Examples: Van Lang
- 0.7: Strongly divergent biochemistry; substances will be poisonous and/or provide no nourishment. Atmosphere may not be entirely breathable. Examples: Haraway
- 0.6: As rating 0.7, but atmosphere is poisonous and requires breathing apparatus. Examples: Pandora (from Avatar)
- 0.5: Atmosphere is poisonous upon skin contact.
- 0.4: Negligable biosphere but atmosphere is relatively benign. Examples: Erebus
- 0.3: Negligable/no biosphere with unbreathable atmosphere. Liquid water exists on the surface. Examples: Adhara
- 0.2: Negligable/no biosphere with unbreathable atmosphere. Liquid water can exist outside but is not common. Examples: Theia
- 0.1: Negligable/no biosphere with deadly atmosphere/climate. Full environmental protection required. Examples: Mars
- 0.0: No biosphere, no atmosphere of mention and/or hostile climate. Titan, any asteroid.
Common Biomes
Terran
Biocompatibility Rating: 1.0
- Known Worlds: Earth, Zoo
- The Precursors spread Terran-derived life to an unknown number of worlds. To date, three have been discovered.
Asakuran
Biocompatibility Rating: 0.9
- Known Worlds: Kanon
- The planet Kanon had naturally-evolving life which has been found on two other worlds. While similar to Terran life, 'Asakuran' biology tends towards brightly-colored pseudoavians as its dominant lifeform.
Livenan
Biocompatibility Rating: 0.8
- Known Worlds: New Mercia
- The Livenan metabiome seems to have originated on the moon of a greenbelt gas giant, as all examples of this family are on inner-system gas giant moons. Favoring somewhat less radiative flux than Earth, they are generally characterized by cold, often ice age conditions and life adapted for this.
Eruban
Biocompatibility Rating: 0.4
- Known Worlds: Erebus
- Unfortunately, Livenan metabiomes appear to have been put on relatively marginal worlds and in several cases they suffered a complete biological collapse into an 'icebox' status, leading to the extinction of all life more complex than bacteria. However, with proper tools they can be habitable again.
Harawayan
Biocompatibility Rating: 0.7
- Known Worlds: Haraway, Whileaway
- FBH can ramble on here.
