Geography and Geology

Temperate Climate
Oregenic Belt
Elevation in Relation to Earth: 800 - 1600 Meters. (for barometric pressure, snow level, meteorology etc.)
Mountainous: lack of erosion except from Glaciers.
Apline Tundra in Upper Elevations EXAMPLE
Sub-Alpine Forests EXAMPLE
Temperate Rainforest (Lower Elevation 800m-1000m) EXAMPLE

Structures and Facilities (fill in the racial type)

Alpine Tundra

Planet Surface Satellite Relay: High in the mountains for optimum space communication, it's an important valve of information to the planet surface.

Sub-Alpine Forest

Military Outpost: A security outpost to watch over the intersection of the nearby structures and operations. Surface-to-Space Weapon capabilities.

Quantum Locking Train Rail: A track for the Quantum Locking Train runs past here, usually for transcontinental shipping and transport.

Temperate Rainforest

Remote Bio-Engineering Complex : Located in the Temperate Rainforest for concealment, it houses a facility that mass-farms moss for researching and developing super-pharmaceuticals, enhanced genes, and even Biological Weapons

I just did all the specifics for you. Draw it up.

Oh yeah one more thing. If you this map happens in winter, it might end up looking like this.

A two game series, it is a shooter game for the Sony PlayStation 2 Console with EMPHASIS on large scale objective based battles. Battles do include land and air vehicles. Truth in that.

Here are a few linkable pictures that give a good example of the general geography. Don't worry lonely planet is a tourist information site, they have published books, its reliable: http://media.lonelyplanet.com/lpi/7936/7936-4/681x454.jpg http://media.lonelyplanet.com/lpi/21936/21936-2/681x454.jpg http://media.lonelyplanet.com/lpi/18720/18720-17/681x454.jpg Geography: Should be around equator in relation to planet. Usually warm/fair weather. Sometimes a hurricane may occur do to the ocean currents and time of year. Should be on a planet that exerts maybe 1.5 g's. Beaches are sandy in coves and bays, but otherwise a very rocky place. Mountains are prevalent but rather small. Vegetation: Small trees, old, weathered, however still in relative youth. Grassy areas are higher up on the hills. Vines take a liking to the ruins and rocky cliffs that are more distant from the ocean. Buildings: There are ruins of the a pre-existent civilization that died off around five hundred years before the planet's discovery via wormhole. The ruins resemble a mix of Babylonian and Greek. There are modern buildings as well, one artificial island that serves as a meteoroligical/oceanographical outpost. A few archaelogical research camps. As it is a Gallente (don't know my EVE history too good so forgive me) research post, it is gaurded by 3 NULL cannons. Special Notes: The roads about the islands can be steep and have sharp turns. The unattentive driver may meet a premature death falling off the cliffs and into the surprisingly deep ocean. As the Gravitational pull is stronger on this planet, Inertia dampeners must be activated earlier to prevent a critical velocity Dropships may have the upperhand on mobility and speed, but trees and geographic features may hide Mercs from view. However, the scanning feature does not apply here so invest in a profile dampener (I think) The ruinous city is tight quarters and multi-leveled. This is a good hinder to the HMG, in that you may trap/outmaneuver the Merc that has an HMG. Jumping from an MCC may be dangerous during inclement weather, as the high winds of a hurricane may push you too far off a predicted course Forgot to mention, this is a chain of islands. EDIT: 1.5 g's is too much.

I put too much thought into this for you to deny such an elaborate, elegant, and awesome piece of hypothetical work. Everyone would cry at how happy they would be. To the drawing board!
