Sector 3

When Ocellus scanned her area, she found only two galaxies, called Lemuria and Ludus. Ludus was the closest galaxy, so she headed there first.

The Ludus galaxy had hundreds of gas-giants which were all different. Some of the planets even changed color, so she made sure to take gas samples from each planet for research in the future. Although, there were some planets with solid landmasses. She explored those carefully to avoid disturbing the environments. Half of these planets had environments similar to those of Equus and had breathable air. All of the other planets were full of caves where the inhabitants lived underground. All of the inhabited planets were welcoming and the residents gladly donated samples of their resources for experimentation.

In Lemuria, there were more solid planets than any other type. One-third of these planets were forested. However, the wood from the trees was different in hardness from planet to planet. On some worlds, the wood was so soft that it could be cut with only a knife, whereas other planets had tree wood that required a laser to cut it. The inhabitants here gladly gave her some samples from trees they had recently harvested. One-sixth of Lemuria was gas-giants and did not show any signs of life, so Ocellus moved on after charting the planets' positions.

Half of the remaining planets were mountains everywhere. There was nothing to collect from these planets except for photographs and written information. The remainder of the planets were all ice planets. Life did exist, but there were noticeable differences. On half of these planets, the inhabitants were acclimated to the sub-zero temperatures. The other planets had heated buildings that the inhabitants lived in. If going outside, they would need to put on heavy clothes. Some of these ice worlds had liquid nitrogen for their oceans. Ocellus had brought a special thermos for this, so she was able to collect a sample.

Once she was certain that she had not missed anything, she made her way back to the space station.
