Sterile environments
"Anything that a foreign race seeks to do in this world must have significant human assistance. This is because of the biological barrier that this world presents to the universe and to those races who have evolved in sterile environments, who are not adapted to be in biological, terrestrial environments such as this. Because worlds such as this are very rare, there are very few races in the universe who have this adaptation. That is why the native races must be cultivated and genetically aligned with the intervening races. It is a time-consuming process, but the results are believed to be worth it by those who are engaging in such activities."[1]
"For nearly all the races who visited the world in the past, and for those races who are here at present, the world presents a very great challenge. Living in space for very long periods of time in sterile environments, races coming to the world are faced with an immense difficulty. The degree and the diversity of biological agents in the world make this planet, though extremely conducive to life, very hazardous for any visitor who is not adapted to it. Even races with very advanced technology cannot protect themselves against the diversity of life and the number of biological agents that exist in this terrestrial environment. This has made actual living in the world extremely difficult and, in most cases, impossible for all the races who have visited here. It would take them generations to adapt to living in an environment such as this. And only through a prolonged genetic program of bonding with the native people could they have a real possibility of living in a world of such diverse and complex biological forces."[2]
"Technology does not erase all the hazards of life and, in many cases, has increased those hazards significantly. For races who live and travel in sterile environments, this risk is immense. Contamination is a major concern for all races who travel in space and who engage in commerce with others. Therefore, while the world has been greatly valued and visited many times, the attempt to live here and the attempt to genetically bond with races who live here has proven to be extremely difficult and has not been attempted for very long."[2]
