Bark Mound

Bark Mounds are a species of Fungal Life that have been found on the surfaces of airless planets and moons across the galaxy. They resemble tall conical spires and bear various growths that can be harvested for Materials.

History

They were first discovered in California Sector BA-A e6 in the California Nebula in late 3302. On October 13, 3302, the Alliance began colonising the California Nebula to study them alongside the Thargoid Barnacles that had been found there months earlier.^[1] A second Bark Mound Site was discovered on Colonia 3 c a in the Colonia Region by CMDR Alesia on October 29, 3302.^[2]

Distance

Minimum distance between two genetic samples: 100 m.

Conditions of occurrence

Planets types: planets with volcanism
In or near a nebula (less than 150 Ly from the centre of the nebula)
