From orbit, planet Carlisle looks invitingly hospitable with deep oceans and vast continents, but in reality it is a tropical nightmare. Temperatures at the equator never drop below 44 Celsius, and even at the poles it rarely falls below -8°C. The oceans, however, remain a pleasant 26°C in temperature, even quite far to the north and south. The lush greenery seen from orbit turns into dense, humid jungles and rainforest upon closer inspection, and there are several native creatures that consider humans to be good eating. The planet has significant deposits of aluminium, titanium and gold, and radium has been detected, although no mining operations have as yet been established planet-side.
For many years, scientists from Cambridge have been studying a particularly virulent form of bacteria native to the planet that has proven to be the first microorganism that has been able to successfully infect and kill humans that has been discovered in the Sirius sector. The bacterium quickly spreads throughout the body and dissolves every internal organ within a matter of hours. This has of course prevented the colonisation of the planet, although Cryer researchers onboard Cambridge Research Station say they have created a protein that will target and eliminate the bacterium planet-wide, thus hopefully paving the way for Carlisle's colonisation within the next year.
