ENGCORP Field Report A76344

 * May 6, 2491 (Military Calendar)
 * '''Field Report A76344-UNSC.ENGCORP
 * Subject: Survey Planet XF-063
 * Reporting Officer: Captain D. F. Lambert, UNSC.ENGCORP/ UNSCMID: 03981762


 * XF-063 is a rare jewel of a find. There is an oxygen-nitrogen-inert gas atmosphere of suitable pressure and a moderate weather cycle. There is a surprising abundance of indigenous flora and fauna, which upon cursory investigation poses no danger. In fact, edible species present. (See additional reports for details.) Transplant of Earth species possible.


 * Notable anomalies: No detectable tectonic activity, but there is still an unusually strong planetary magnetic field. Slightly higher than normal background radiation measured, but well within tolerable standards. Additional geological testing recommended.
 * No terraforming effort required. Colonization highly recommended.
