Description
"Nerbja is the 5th moon around the planet of Tanurs,
and has been sparsely colonized, mostly by humans of earthly origin.
Conditions on this moon are very similar to those on Earth, and the lifeforms
are not all that different either. But some of them are of course strange.
The mooh is interseting from both commercial and scientic viewpoints. Nerbja
is the home of many interesting organisms. For the moment the inhabitants have
specialized in harvesting the mushroom-like growths, that live all over the
moon, in different species and varieties.
They produce substances that are mainly used in medicine, the most famous being
the "age-blocker", which in many cases can prolong youth by 50 years,
even up to 125 years in some sensitive individuals. The organisms can't be cultivated
(or at least it hasn't been worked out how so far) because of intricate biological
mechanisms - reminicent again of some funghi found on earth.
The majority of the moon is still more or less
unexplored, and research groups continiously look for new intersting territories
and lifeforms."

- thanks a lot.
(This is NOT supposed to have ANYTHING to do with the Babylon 5 series,
I just thought the ship was suitable for this scene. AND don't be too suprised
if you see me use items related to Starwars, Startrek and Babylon 5 in the same
scene *G*.)
Maybe this is not as "alien" as some of you would prefer, but I've
actually tried to make something that looks familiar AND alien at the same time.
Hope you like, thanks for any comments etc. you may leave.
Have a nice day

Wonderfully fascinating visit to another world! Excellent!
I am a sucker for SciFi and this beats mine by a mile. This is really elaborate and beautifully alien. In fact, I would have probably left it with just the one more distant spacecraft, the second, nearer one is IMO a bit of a distraction from the gorgeous landscape work.
