Summary:

Ambrosia is a system of four planets orbiting an orange k class star with about a quarter the luminosity of Sol. The systems primary world is an oxygen rich world similar to earth during the Jurassic period. When the first settlers arrived on the planet they found enormous, aggressive insects created by the high oxygen environment. The insects are semi-intelligent and find the humans to be a threat; they always seem to attack.


	Ambrosia B
	Planet B is a small world close to the sun. Large deposits of magnesium can be found on the surface. The planet is tidally locked to the star meaning that always the same side faces the sun.



	Ambrosia C
	Ambrosia C is a small oxygen rich world. There are much higher levels of oxygen here than on Earth, this gives visitors a feeling of euphoria, they feel alive and energetic. This world would be a utopia except that the high oxygen creates enormous sized insects, that often times attack colonists. There are only a small number of residents living on the planet and are always in a constant struggle with the large bugs.


	Ambrosia D
	Planet D is a cold world outside the habitable zone. The surface is composed of mostly water ice, with a dusting of methane and ethane. There are large amounts of sulfur located on the planet as well.



	Ambrosia E
	Fairly standard hydrogen helium gas giant orbiting at Jupiter like temperatures. The atmosphere contains traces of neon and xenon gases giving a slight pinkish hue.
