Okay everyone including myself pretty much agrees <i>Trouble On Janus</i> does not fit well as written in the SF 'Verse, but I started retyping it for one so I could actually read it (my scan is pretty rough), but I also figured I should edit the text & ideas to better fit into SF so I can use it. <div><br /></div><div>Original Background (with spelling addresed): The green highlights are on points of intrest, sector info I think needs changing or deleting all together. I am not sure about cluster, what cluster? I may make both Gergonise & Janus worlds that ultamently become 2 of the quaratined worlds/systems or not still kicking the idea about since my setting is pre-Blue Plague. If anyone has suggestions feel free... </div><div><br /></div><div><b>BACKGROUND:</b></div><div><b>Janus is a near-Sol Type planet <span style="background-color: #00ff00" class="Apple-style-span">in sector 86-110-22</span>, with a
yellow sun at the <span style="background-color: #00ff00" class="Apple-style-span">extreme edge of the cluster, near Gergonise.</span> There are three
other planets in the system, with the other two planets being much farther out
and uninhabited. Janus has one moon, uninhabited and apparently worthless, and
has one space station orbiting the planet to provide weather information and to
boost off-planet communications.</b></div><div><b><br /></b></div><div><b>The gravity on Janus is slightly higher than Sol-Type Normal
worlds, however Janus also has a very dense atmosphere with a slightly higher
oxygen content, so that beings accustomed to Sol-Type Normal worlds should feel
no discomfort.</b></div><div><b><br /></b></div><div><b>The density of the atmosphere and the proximity to the sun
make this a virtual hothouse world. The planet is divided into two major
continental masses, more clumps of huge islands interspaced with more rivers
and lakes than traditional continents.</b></div><div><b><br /></b></div><div><b>Janus has a relatively flat rotation orbit and an extremely
slight axis tilt. As a result, seasonal changes are virtually unknown on Janus.
The southern hemisphere is undergoing a summer season while the northern
hemisphere is undergoing a late summer or very early fall season, and this
situation is expected to continue for the next thousand years or so.</b></div><div><br /></div><div>The next bit gets way not SF so it will need major rewrite I think:</div><div><br /></div>
