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.
