Radicoida
Template:QuoteRadicoida is a genus of exobiological flora. These are found on planets and moons with a tenuous atmosphere in only one system—HIP 87621.[1][2] They can be repeatedly sampled with a genetic sampler and scanned with a composition scanner on a SRV.
Distance
They have a clonal colony range of ? m (between 2 genetic samples).
Description
Initial results suggest that some evolutionary markers in the DNA of these plants may not be entirely natural in origin. According to the researchers, certain sequences in the biochemical structure of the achenes indicate artificial intervention. However, the scientists emphasized that these changes were not made recently. One specialist, who wished to remain anonymous, reported that the markers indicate intervention "on a timescale measured in billions, not millions, of years" and suggested that if the plant was genetically modified, it was "by unknown hands in the very, very distant past."[1]
Radicoida Unica was first discovered by the October Consortium in HIP 87621.[1][2] They monopolized research on the unique flora and classified most of the information as of April 3312.[1][2] The disclosed information says the Radicoida Unica is capable of remaining dormant for centuries and possesses an unusually complex biochemical composition and cellular resilience, as well as adaptability to local conditions. Researchers from the October Consortium note that, with prolonged exposure, the plant likely forms symbiotic relationships with biological organisms. It appears to be aware of surrounding activity and has a flowering period during which seed capsules are formed. The pulp of these capsules contains a compound that enhances physical performance and reduces decision-making time—at least in laboratory mice. This substance has already been linked to numerous potential medical applications, mainly next-generation stimulants.

Radicoida Unica
Description
An Radicoida species which has built upon its enormous root systems to lift itself several meters into the air, secured on aerial roots. It is highly insulated against extreme temperatures and resilient in many climates. Large, broad structures in the higher reaches of this organism provide platforms for seed pods, which are capable of firing seeds incredible distances.
Conditions of occurrence
- Planets with a tenuous atmosphere
- Only in the system HIP 87621
