Scientific Research
These three research areas complement each other by examining different aspects of the planet's conditions and potential for life. The Astrobiology research investigates the existence of life beyond Earth, while the Planetary Geology research focuses on understanding the planet's geological history. The Atmospheric Analysis research provides crucial insights into the planet's atmospheric dynamics and its influence on habitability factors. Together, these research endeavors contribute to our broader understanding of the Talva Bantutlis Star System's fourth planet and its place in the universe.
- Astrobiology
- The research team focuses on investigating the potential for microbial life beyond Earth. They conduct extensive searches for biosignatures and study the possibilities of panspermia, which involves the transfer of life between planets. Their work aims to contribute to our understanding of the existence and distribution of life in the universe.
- Planetary Geology
- The team conducts in-depth analysis of the planet's geological features, including rock formations and surface composition. They strive to unravel the planet's geological history and evolution through detailed observations and data collection. This research helps shed light on the planet's formation processes and provides insights into its unique characteristics.
- Atmospheric Analysis
- The team specializes in studying the composition and behavior of the Oxygen-Nitrogen atmosphere on the planet. They investigate the dynamics of the atmosphere, such as atmospheric circulation, weather patterns, and potential interactions with stellar activities. Their research aims to deepen our understanding of how the atmosphere functions and its implications for the planet's habitability.
History
The history of Paragon Terminal is marked by significant events and decisions that led to its establishment as a research outpost and later as a Hermod Outpost. This dual-purpose nature of Paragon Terminal highlights the synergistic utilization of resources and infrastructure to support scientific exploration and interstellar commerce in the Adara Sector.
In 2384, an extensive mission planning phase took place, involving thorough research and analysis to identify suitable locations for a research outpost within the Talva Bantutlis Star System. After careful consideration, a location on the surface of the system's fourth planet, later named Paragon, was chosen as the proposed site.
In 2386, further evaluations and discussions resulted in a significant decision. It was determined that the chosen location on Paragon not only met the requirements for a research outpost but also fulfilled the criteria for a Hermod Outpost. Hermod Outposts play a vital role as transportation and trade hubs within star systems, facilitating interstellar commerce and enhancing connectivity.
Consequently, in 2386, the research outpost was officially established on Paragon. Its primary objective was to conduct scientific studies and investigations focused on the planet's unique characteristics, including its atmosphere, geology, and potential for supporting life.
Since its establishment, the research outpost at Paragon Terminal has remained active in various research endeavors. Scientists and researchers from diverse disciplines have been engaged in studying the planet's atmosphere, geology, and potential for extraterrestrial life. Through their diligent efforts, our understanding of the Talva Bantutlis Star System and its intriguing fourth planet continues to expand.
