====== TERRAIN ====== Terrain encountered throughout the [[Niecti]] star system may require specific skills, specialized equipment or vehicles, and ingenuity to negotiate, especially in emergency situations. Rugged or hazardous terrain may slow movement or travel and damage vehicles. Most of the system consists of the rocky or icy terrain common to moons, asteroids, and comets, which makes any excursion outside of developed colonies potentially hazardous. ===== Geographic Features ===== ☐ **VOLCANO** ☐ **MOUNTAINS**: low, medium, and high ☐ **CLIFFS** ☐ **RILLS AND RIDGES** ☐ **FOOTHILLS** ☐ **ROLLING HILLS** ☐ **BARRENS** ☐ **CRATERS** ☐ **FAULTLINES** ☐ **DESERTS**: sandy, rocky ===== Hydrographic Features ===== ☐ **GLACIERS OR ICE SHEETS** ☐ **SNOWPACKS** ☐ **RIVERS** ☐ **LAKES** ☐ **SEAS** ===== Mainworld Vegetation ===== The [[Niecti]] mainworld itself provides additional mixes of water and vegetation terrain encounters. ☐ **PLAINS OR GRASSLANDS** ☐ **SWAMP** ☐ **MARSH** ☐ **FORESTS**: light, medium, heavy ☐ **CLEARINGS** ☐ **JUNGLES**: medium, heavy ===== Structures ===== Many ancient xeno-archeological ruins and structures exist throughout the star system and may occur in any type of terrain.
