Rigobare

Despite its irritable nature Rigobare is just about tolerant enough to allow life to exist on its surface, though not necessarily peacefully. Rigobare's weather is variable. Of course the odd patch of clear orange sky and overbearing heat from the suns does penetrate the gloom in certain privileged areas but more likely the hot, humid atmosphere drives vicious winds and saturating rain. Turbulent weather is so commonplace that tornados and hurricanes are regarded as opportunities for extreme sports.

If life is to exist on Rigobare it needs to be tough. And they don't come much tougher than Hass' prototype dinosaurs. Hundreds of species exist. Countless millions of individuals roam the surface in search of food. And this only compounds Rigobares problems as its vegetation is being consumed quicker than it grows.

But there is one thing that has caused Hass great confusion. Most dinosaur species have unexpectedly developed intelligence. Very worrying. At the design stage Hass deliberately specified tiny brains to ensure a natural balance would be maintained between the beasts and the planet.
