What you know
Book 1: Intervention
- Ch 51Landa's fourth planet was surveyed long ago as a promising colony prospect, but a nearby supernova's blast wave irradiated it two Galactic millenaries earlier.
- Ch 51After the radiation, the planet is colder and drier, with polar caps, lower sea level, lost species, and a reversed magnetosphere, though the ozone layer and radiation levels have recovered.
- Ch 51The planet is unsuitable for Gi, Simbiari, Krondaku and Poltroyan colonization, but has a 98 percent weighted compatibility with humans.

Key moments
- Book 1 · Ch 51Resurvey of the irradiated fourth Landa planet
Dota'efoo and Luma'eroo travel from Molakar to Landa, review the old survey, scan the supernova-damaged planet and land briefly on its eastern coast, judging it ruined for any Milieu race.
- Book 1 · Ch 51Realization of human compatibility
Luma'eroo notes the planet resembles the human homeworld; the computer confirms a 98 percent compatibility. They discuss humans' overpopulation and dread what humans might do if admitted to the Milieu, then depart hastily.
