{{#switch:{{{1|{{PAGENAME}}}}}
|Acid Mushroom={{DataBank|Acid Mushroom-0.png|A common, spore-bearing fungi species, with developed defense mechanisms. The flesh contains a highly acidic compound which leaches into the water if the outer skin is penetrated.

It is not clear which predator species necessitated such extreme counter-measures, but the acid mushroom's numbers suggest it has successfully deterred most of them.

Assessment: Inedible, acid has applications in battery fabrication
}}


|Alien Structure=
{{DataBank||This structure's intended purpose is unclear. Power lines running from the nearby terminal suggest it can be switched on and off, if connected to the right kind of energy source.

Theories on Function:
* Ceremonial or religious role
* Industrial applications
* Advanced transportation network

Assessment: Further research required.
}}


|Aquarium Warpgate=
{{DataBank||Scans indicate this warp gate has not been active since the facility was abandoned. It likely served as an access point to the surface of the planet. It is much too small for the emperor specimen to pass through, but may accommodate a juvenile specimen.
}}


|Alien Bone Specimen Cage=
{{DataBank||These fossils likely came from an ancient ancestor of the leviathans which inhabit the planet today.
}}


|Alien Flora Specimen Cage=
{{DataBank||The large laboratory table and accompanying scanners incorporate technologies far beyond our current level of understanding.

Hypotheses:
- Equipment maintenance
- Staff maintenance
- Specimen analysis
- Specimen gene manipulation
}}


|Research Probes=
{{DataBank||The prominence and facing of these alien devices suggests they are some kind of probe or sensor. Their subject would seem to be the vast skeleton in the center of the cavern. The attached cable network may lead to a remote power station or data hub.

Assessment: Investigate
}}


|Alien Containment={{DataBank|Alien Containment-1.png|Despite huge, Alterra-led advancements in stellar technology, exploring new worlds still has its challenges, and alien lifeforms are one of them. That's why we built the alien containment unit. The unit is designed primarily to breed larger or more dangerous species.

Technical Provisions:
* Units must be installed in multipurpose room modules
* Units may be connected between rooms stacked in a column
* A hatch must be installed in order to access the unit
* The base of the unit is a planter, allowing sea flora to be grown from seed












Breeding Tips:
* Provided sufficient time and living space, organisms of the same species should mate and reproduce
* Eggs inside the unit will hatch over time
* Organisms raised from birth in captivity often exhibit unusually passive behaviour












Warnings:
* Environmental controls may fail if the unit is overpopulated
* Infections may be transmitted faster between specimens in artificial environments
* Never tap the glass: you don't know what will tap back, or how hard
}}

|Doomsday Device=

{{DataBank|Precursor Prison Artifact 6 PDA.png|Scans indicate this device contains enough potential energy to destroy the entire planet, along with most of the solar system. It was presumably to be used in the event of quarantine failure. Fortunately, it has malfunctioned.
}}


|Alien Rifle=
{{DataBank|Precursor Prison Artifact 7 PDA.png|Strong resemblance to human weaponry in form, this device must have been designed with a humanoid user in mind. Whether the aliens that built this structure were themselves humanoid, or otherwise employed the use of humanoids is unclear. What is clear is that they considered defending this facility a necessary precaution. There is no obvious way to remove the rifle from the case.
}}


|Particulator=
{{DataBank|Precursor Prison Artifact 1 PDA.png|This device contains a highly unstable radioactive isotope, likely to destroy all organisms exposed to it, while leaving physical structures intact. Although it would function perfectly well as a weapon, it was more likely used to sterilize spaces for later inhabitation. Without instructions it would be unwise to interact with it.
}}


|Projector=
{{DataBank|Precursor Prison Artifact 2 PDA.png|This device contains network apparatus and a holographic projection unit. It was likely used as a communications relay, capturing and projecting the image of the user to a remote location. There do not appear to be any other devices in range.
}}


|Tablet=
{{DataBank|Precursor Prison Artifact 3 PDA.png|This device shares many similarities with the tablets used to access the alien facilities, although its structure is rather less complex. It may have served a similar purpose, granting security access and storing relevant data, and was thus kept here as a form of legacy support.
}}


|Tracker=
{{DataBank|Precursor Prison Artifact 4 PDA.png|This construct is emitting a high-bandwidth signal consistent with alien transmissions intercepted elsewhere. DNA on the exterior indicates it was once implanted inside one of the lifeforms indigenous to 4546B, its size suggesting the subject was a leviathan class organism. Beyond tracking and broadcasting its location, the implant may also have recorded biological data on the subject, however this data cannot be retrieved.
}}


|Carving=
{{DataBank|Precursor Prison Artifact 5 PDA.png|This carving is hundreds of thousands of years old, and made from an unrecognized natural fiber, grown on an unknown planet. It bears striking resemblance to the old earth yin-yang symbol. Two competing theories may explain this similarity:

# Aliens visited earth prior to the 4th century BC and influenced the development of ancient Chinese philosophy.<br />
# The concept of yin and yang is universal. Since yin and yang describes the fundamental interdependency of seemingly opposite forces, it may be a necessary existential understanding, in some form, in all sufficiently developed civilizations. The tapering of two circles (union) into opposed and infinitesimally small points (the finite) is one logical way to represent this understanding, and may have been developed independently by species other than humans.
}}


|Blade=
{{DataBank|Precursor Prison Artifact 8 PDA.png|An ancient Earth blade, dating back to the 13th century. Blood samples on the blade match the DNA of seven separate heads of state from the period. This evidence supports the theory that the aliens are an ancient, space-borne civilization engaged in the surreptitious study of less developed species.
}}


|Rock=
{{DataBank|Precursor Prison Artifact 12 PDA.png|This rock-like object features organic as well as mechanical parts, and there is some genetic and technological crossover with the design of the self-warping constructs encountered elsewhere. It appears to serve no purpose in its current state, and is awaiting some kind of activation sequence. Materials such as this may have been a fundamental building block of the aliens' technology, or even of the aliens themselves.
}}


|Translator=
{{DataBank|Precursor Prison Artifact 11 PDA.png|This device stores linguistic data from over 1,000 different languages. The core of the device may allow alien texts to be read and translated.

Analysis of the onboard data reveals a number of ancient Earth languages, and the term 'CHBCLive' appears many times in the device's data. Its import is unclear.

The device seems to be configured to translate into the designer's language - it will not work the other way around.
}}


|bots=
{{DataBank||Scans show some form of advanced nanobot inside this seemingly empty case. These bots are substantially smaller than any developed within the federation, and it is not possible to ascertain their exact function. It would, however, be unwise to release them.
}}


|Statue=
{{DataBank|Precursor Prison Artifact 10 PDA.png|This artifact is unpowered, suggesting it served a ceremonial, rather than practical purpose. The pyramid resembles vines, spiraling upwards toward the warm blue stone mounted above it. It may represent a plant found on the aliens' home world, a building of religious import, or even the gravitational pull of their home solar system.
}}


|Display Case=
{{DataBank||This case is composed of an impregnable, translucent metal at the distant end of the periodic table. Scans do not reveal any contents
}}


|Alien Robot={{DataBank|Precursor Droid-0.png|This device is of alien origin, although its design is relatively simple.

1. Purpose:<br />
Its low threat level is at odds with the advanced technology apparently available to its designers, suggesting it was intended more to patrol alien facilities and repair damaged infrastructure than to deter invaders.

2. Design:<br />
Despite its simple design, this construction is quite elegant in its minimalism. Four electro-magnetic legs allow it to traverse floors, walls and ceilings with reasonable speed, and appear to be replaceable. Internally there are few moving parts, rendering this construct energy efficient, and resistant to wear over time. A rechargeable, ion-based power reserve ensures it continues to operate.

Assessment: Immobilize and return to Alterra for mutual profit
}}


|Purple Tablet={{DataBank|Purple Artifact-1.png|This carbon-based device is lighter than it looks, and features a symbol which resembles a 'U', lit up in purple. Despite the onboard power still functioning, algae growth on the exterior indicates it was abandoned hundreds, perhaps thousands of years ago. While the technology is far beyond federation levels, and there is no obvious way to interface with it, it should nonetheless be possible to fabricate a precise physical copy of the device, if necessary.}}
|Orange Tablet={{DataBank|Orange Artifact-1.png|This device hums slightly, and displays an orange-lit symbol resembling an 'n'.}}
|Blue Tablet={{DataBank|Blue Artifact-1.png|Smooth and cold, with a blue light which illuminates an alien symbol resembling an upper case 'H'. While it is likely these devices served in part as security clearance for whoever constructed them, their size suggests some additional purpose, such as personal computers. Whatever the case, the technology is far beyond humanity's own.}}
|Alien Thermal Plant=
{{DataBank||
This system converts thermal energy to electric current at 90% efficiency. Some of this energy is chemically stored onsite, while unknown mechanisms appear to be transferring most of it to remote locations elsewhere on the planet:

30% Stored onsite for emergency use<br />
30% Ground-to-air Quarantine Enforcement Platform<br />
22% Primary Containment Facility<br />
11% Disease-Research Facility<br />
7% Self-Warping Quarantine Enforcer Units<br />

The system appears to be fully automated and - given current understanding of the mechanisms involved - uninterruptible.
}}


|Fossil Data=
{{DataBank||This geological data was recorded from the volcanic rock that was excavated to construct this facility. It was possible to extrapolate a number of key trends.

Genetic Divergence:<br />
The aliens recorded data on indigenous organic remains originating between 10,000 and 1,000 years ago. The lifeforms on record feature an unusually low overlap with those encountered so far on 4546B.

Extinction Event:<br />
Soil samples from 1,000 years ago contain 300% higher concentrations of organic remains than the soil average. Data supports a mass extinction event killing off a majority of species and forcing rapid adaptation amongst many of the survivors.

Cause is unknown. Plausible theories include:

- Fluctuating environmental conditions<br />
- Disease<br />
- Meteor impact<br />
- Artificial interference
}}


|Primary Containment Facility Energy Transfer=
{{DataBank||This terminal is broadcasting data regarding the transfer of a substantial portion of the power plant's energy to a vast facility elsewhere on the planet. There is no clear way to interrupt the power flow, however if the data has been translated accurately then this facility is located in a chasm connected to this cave system, at a depth of 1.5km.
}}
</tabber>


|Alien Vent=
{{DataBank||These vents connect to an ancient piping network that extends beyond maximum scannable depth. The pumping system is still functional, indicating a power source exists somewhere else on the planet.

* The inflow vent is drawing water from the surrounding area, and pumping it to an unknown location below the surface
* Warm, de-oxygenated water is being expelled into the atmosphere
* Most creatures are avoiding the vents
* Peepers can be observed entering and exiting the pipe network seemingly unharmed

Assessment: Further research required
}}


|Ventilation Control=
{{DataBank||This terminal is controlling the flow of water to and from this facility via the attached pipe network.

Inflow:<br />
Water composition indicates water is being drawn from different biomes between here and the surface of the planet. The water temperature is considerably lower than the volcanic environment outside the facility, while micro-organism and nutrient counts are substantially higher.

Outflow:<br />
Oxygen-deprived water is being flooded from the system and recycled back to the surface.
}}


|Unusual Peeper Behavior=
{{DataBank||These inflow pipes are being used by peepers to access the otherwise isolated facility.

- Peeper behavior elsewhere on the planet suggests they are not being sucked in by accident, but rather have evolved to actively seek out the correct access points<br />
- The specimens scanned have all consumed high quantities of seeds from the surface world<br />
- Specimens show differing levels of bacterial symptoms
}}


|More Unusual Peeper Behavior=
{{DataBank||These outflow pipes are transporting peepers out of the facility, back towards the surface.

- All specimens scanned are carrying the enzyme which inhibits bacterial growth and helps the body repair the symptoms of the infection<br />
- Stomach cavities are all empty
}}


|Pipe Access Point=
{{DataBank||This appears to be one of the endpoints of the alien piping system transporting fresh water from the surface into the containment facility.

- Peepers are using the pipe network to travel to and from the surface<br />
- behavior must be explained by evolutionary adaptation to extreme circumstances
}}


|All-Environment Protection Suit={{DataBank|AEP Suit-1.png|The Alterra AEP Suit: A single solution for a universe of infinite danger

You are currently wearing the AEP suit: a hermetically-sealed personal environment, designed to withstand the most extreme conditions in the known universe.

* Onboard temperature and hydration regulation
* Compatible with a range of attachments
* Slimline build for maximum freedom of movement
* Biometric sensors
* Contextual heads-up display





AEP suits should always be equipped BEFORE lifepod launch, in case of hull breach.
}}

|Amoeboid={{DataBank||A simple, non-sentient organism, found attached to land with high levels of fossilized organic matter. It feeds on this matter until it reaches maturity, at which point it divides to create two new, genetically identical offspring, and the cycle continues.
}}

|Ampeel={{DataBank|Shocker.jpg|A large, inquisitive predator found inhabiting the deeper waters of the reefs and bulb bush colonies.

* Strong and territorial
* Torso-mounted prongs appear capable of generating a powerful electric current
* Ampeel has been recorded using electricity to incapacitate its prey
* If a faster, stronger and hungrier predator lives on the reefs, it appears to avoid the ampeel
}}


|Anchor Pods={{DataBank|Anchor Pods Ency.png|These unusual flora specimens have been encountered exclusively on the deep reefs. They consist of a large, spherical, gas-filled membrane, anchored to the sea floor by its root system. At these depths it is unlikely this structure is designed to enhance access to sunlight, but rather the pods' ability to propagate. Once the pods attain sufficient height they burst, releasing spores which catch the currents and disperse around the local area.
}}
|Aquarium={{DataBank||The aquarium is designed to hold and sustain up to eight small aquatic organisms, and fits inside a regular multipurpose habitat room.

Aquatic creatures make up 70% of all known species, making the aquarium a commonly deployed tool in many exploratory operations. It is just as often used to house livestock for later consumption as it is to hold specimens for xeno research. An automated environment regulation system means there's no need to feed or care for your subjects.

NB Due to its size the regular aquarium is not rated for breeding applications, and creatures are highly unlikely to mate. Construct a full size alien containment unit for this purpose.
}}

|Aurora Ship Status=
{{DataBank|AuroraSpaceship.png|Ship Class: Alterra Long-Range Capital Ship<br />
Mission: Ariadne Arm Phasegate Installation, 3 year operation time<br />
Crew: Command Team (23), Engineering Team (85), Support Crew (40), Passengers (9)

Status:
* Sustained heavy damage in orbit of planet 4546B
* Cause unknown
* Evacuation data unavailable

Engineering section:
* Dark-matter ion drive core V8
* Manned robotics suite
* Advanced scanner suite
* Long-range communications relay
* 0.25 cubic kilometers storage for phasegate apparatus

Habitation section:
* Accommodation for 150 people
* Multiple canteens serving healthy fresh and rehydrated food
* Leisure facilities including VR suite and virtual cinema
}}


|Drive Core Shielding Breach=
{{DataBank||The Aurora's drive core is shielded by a thick metal shell, which breached in multiple locations shortly after the crash. Once breached it will continue to leak radiation into the surrounding environment until the breaches are sealed. After that point the radiation in the environment will dissipate over time. This procedure should only be attempted with appropriate radiation protection, and a fully charged repair tool.
}}


|Aurora Data Coil={{DataBank||This device was one of many data coils onboard Aurora, used to store and process information necessary to the ship's mission. The coil itself has been damaged in the crash, however it has been possible to extract the last available dataset, recorded during the Aurora's descent:

Lifepods 1 - 29 launched OK at time T+0hrs prior to Aurora planetfall<br />
Lifepod survival rate: 35% approximate<br />
Emergency bouncebacks received from 8 lifepods on planet surface<br />
Human lifesigns detected over long range at T+8hrs: 1<br />
Personnel unaccounted for: Non-Essential Systems Maintenance Chief Ryley Robinson<br />
Continuing to monitor<br />
Monitoring equipment failed at T+9hrs
}}


|Bioreactor={{DataBank|Bioreactor-1.png|On planets where organic matter is plentiful but sunlight is not, a reliable bioreactor will frequently prove the most efficient power solution.

- May be installed in any multipurpose habitat room<br />
- Chemically composts organic materials, converting them into energy over time<br />
- Accepts all plant matter, from seeds and spores to moldy fruits and vegetables<br />
- Can also process animal matter (fat, muscle, eggs etc.) and some organic waste products<br />
- Energy production is proportionate to the calories in the organic matter<br />

'The Bioreactor: Totally organic.'
}}


|Alpha Peeper Species={{DataBank||With the acquired data it has been possible to construct a profile of the theoretical last common ancestor of the modern day peeper and other small fish.

The alpha peeper would have been a small herbivore prone to predation in the shallow waters where light was abundant. It likely developed photosensitive skin on each side, which over time became eyeballs, and allowed it to detect the presence of nearby threats more efficiently than other prey fish. As the species grew in number it expanded to new territories, developing into subspecies like the eyeye and the reginald.

Modern day features of the peeper such as its twin expulsion tubes and powerful fins are quite recent adaptations, supporting the theory that life on 4546B underwent a period of rapid evolution in recent millennia in response to an external threat.

Assessment: Extinct
}}


|Alpha Ray Species=
{{Databank||Different species of ray indigenous to 4546B, each adapted to different environments. The specimens are 99.99% genetically identical to those encountered on the planet today, suggesting that rays in particular have undergone little evolutionary mutation in the past millenium.

Ghostrays, jellyrays, crimson rays and rabbit rays likely all share a common evolutionary ancestor. The 'alpha ray' would have evolved deep in the ocean trenches, quickly growing in line with available food supplies. It would have most resembled the ghostray in size and appearance, with translucent skin for camouflage and forward-mounted eyes for hunting. A fast and fearsome stalker of small creatures in the dark.

While some rays have stayed within the limits of the cave systems where they first evolved, others are relatively more recent adaptations to new environments, likely the results of overpopulation.

All of the rays on 4546B have given up predation in favor of herbivorous scavenging, and use poisonous flesh to protect themselves.
}}


|Amoeboid={{DataBank|AmoeboidEncy.PNG|A simple, non-sentient organism, found attached to land with high levels of fossilized organic matter. It feeds on this matter until it reaches maturity, at which point it divides to create two new, genetically identical offspring, and the cycle continues.
}}


|Ampeel={{DataBank|Shocker.jpg|A powerful and inquisitive predator found inhabiting the deeper waters of the reefs and bulb bush colonies.

1. Electrical Prongs:<br />
Torso-mounted prongs generate a powerful electrical current which the ampeel uses to incapacitate its prey.

2. Jaws:<br />
A large, flexible jaw, studded with sharp teeth. If a faster, stronger and hungrier predator lives on the reefs, it appears to avoid the ampeel.

Assessment: Avoid or incapacitate
}}


|Anchor Pods=
{{DataBank|Anchor Pods Ency.png|These unusual flora specimens have been encountered exclusively in the deep reefs. They consist of a large, spherical, gas-filled membrane, anchored to the sea floor by its root system. At these depths it is unlikely this structure is designed to enhance access to sunlight, but rather the pods' ability to propagate. Once the pods attain sufficient height they burst, releasing spores which catch the currents and disperse around the local area.
}}


|Ancient Earth Blade={{DataBank|Fox3d-entertainment-relic-08.jpg|An ancient Earth blade, dating back to the 13th century. Blood samples on the blade match the DNA of seven separate heads of state from the period. This evidence supports the theory that the aliens are an ancient, space-borne civilization engaged in the surreptitious study of less developed species.
}}


|Ancient Skeleton={{DataBank|Fox3d-entertainment-caveskeletonscan.jpg|The skeleton of a million-year-old, armored carnivore. Projections suggest this lifeform would have been larger than any living creature encountered on the planet.

The oceans of the time would have been very different to support lifeforms of this size, with more open geography and many more individuals in the leviathan range.
}}


|Aquarium={{DataBank||The aquarium is designed to hold and sustain up to eight small aquatic organisms, and fits inside a regular multipurpose habitat room.

Aquatic creatures make up 70% of all known species, making the aquarium a commonly deployed tool in many exploratory operations. It is just as often used to house livestock for later consumption as it is to hold specimens for xeno research.
