I can see a massive impact killing off all the complex lifeforms...but ALL the bacteria?! Those things are hard to kill.

The *only* thing I can think of is that the autotrophs produce a powerful antibiotic as part of their biological processes which slowly killed everything on the planet, including the bacteria. Like penicillin only deadly. I'm no biologist, I have no clue if that's possible or what else could wipe out bacteria like that.

This is worth a study. Do you know any other facts that might give some information about this planet? For example; How eccentric is the orbit? What kind of star does it orbit? What other resources are there? I am a scientist by trade (Eve and RL) so I find this interesting.

During my travels in low sec, I came across a temperate planet with a very odd resource distribution. Despite being in .3 space, the planet had ZERO bacteria or complex lifeforms. What the planet does have in abundance is a massive amount of carbon (dead organic material) and Autotrophs (fungi who feed on dead material).

I've never seen a temperate planet with such bizarre resources... there has to be a story behind this. Something killed almost all the living things on this world, leaving only the fungi to feast on the dead....


Has anyone else ever come across a planet with a bizarre resource distribution?

there is also one or 2 wormhole-space planets that not only ahve NAMES, but have interesting irregular resource distributions.

Can you give a reference...cause that is really interesting

Edit: But for that, there would be much more alien or somehow different to human extraterrestrial races. In this.. eve kind of lacks the realism here for this point. But there are I think lifeforms very different from the Earth fauna or even flora. Also not saying that there couldnt be galaxy without its own intelligent races and stuff. And we as Human races would come to it and claim it fot ourselfs.

Irradiated by a war between two long-dead ancient races?

That would be a good setting after the collapse of the EVE Gate. Two very capable races destroying each other fighting to control the resources of the planet. Back when they still had the technology to wage that kind of war.

The Templar One book mentions native lifeforms, such as kindof snakes, and voracious termites, but no mention to intelligent lifeforms has ever been made.

A seemly inexplicable phenomenon on my doorstep has always puzzled me. In the system of Uriok, there are three Temperate worlds well outside the established RL habitable zone. They are grouped somewhere between 6 and 20AU from a star smaller and cooler than Sol, yet they have vegetation and liquid surface water. One planet alone may not have been such a mystery; as we could have imagined some stable geothermal phenomena provided the heat for liquid water, or perhaps a tidal locked orbit. But all three? Even the hottest, brightest star would have trouble heating the surfaces of bodies at those distances.

It's nice to know there are many other scientists attempting to make sense of all these unusual aspects of our universe. Good luck.
