			Planetary Data

(P) Elephant:
Elephant, 5 X 12 sectors, has no atmosphere, a temperature of 30 to 50 degrees 
Fahrenheit, and a gravity of .6 G.  Elephant is one of the two planets in the 
Applecore system.  It has no moons, and its terrain is crater covered.  No life
is detected here.

(P) Owl's Lair:
Owl's Lair, 17 X 34 sectors, has an atmosphere of nitrogen/fluorine, a 
temperature of -30 to 30 degrees Fahrenheit, and a gravity of .9 G.  Owl's Lair
is the largest planet in the Applecore star system.  This planet is strange in 
that it gives off many flashes of bright light from its surface.  The terrain 
is rough and mountainous.  Two moons orbit this planet, Dit and Twy.

  (M) Dit:
  Dit, 1 X 2 sectors, has no atmosphere, a temperature of -65 degrees 
  Fahrenheit, and a gravity of .1 G.  Dit is one of two moons orbiting Owl's 
  Lair.  It is crater covered and no life is detected.

  (M) Twy:
  Twy, 3 X 6 sectors, has no atmosphere, a temperature of -55 degrees 
  Fahrenheit, and a gravity of .3 G.  Twy is on of a pair of small moons 
  orbiting Owl's Lair.  Its terrain is craterous with extremely large rocks 
  sitting here and there.  No life is detected.

Additional Information

Elephant
Although the terrain is crater covered, there are a couple of unusual features.
In some sectors (eg. 5-5, 5-6, 3-12) there are mountainous areas with flat 
areas right next to them.  In sectors 4-7 and 4-8, there is a large mountain 
(volcano?) with a crater in the center, and in sector 3-5, square 7E, there is
a hole, approximately one square in size.  A shuttle exploration of the hole 
revealed no signs of cave entrances or other unusual features.  However, it 
appears to be too smooth to be natural.  Exploration of the bottom of the hole 
revealed a 1 mu box, sealed.  It is of Stellar Empire manufacture, but very 
old.

The box opens to reveal a sonic map taken of the hole an unknown number of 
years before.  It shows the hole originally had rough sides and at bottom off 
to one side was a large cavern.  Your party examines area as shown on map and 
starts to take new sonic readings.  They show a very, very faint echo.

Some samples of the deadfall are taken to discover what caused fall and a 
gruesome discovery is made: a pair of mashed humans!  Space suits are IND type.
