* DeathWorld: One of worlds that was being worked in to make it livable for human was slowly making progress nicely. They seeded world with bacteria and viruses to turn ground to soil, then 1,000 years later seeded world with bugs and fungus. They planned to return and seed world with green life 300 years later and eventually animal life 100 years later. However, they lost records. So world was left alone for thousands of years after bug/fungus drop. Then one of spaceships crash landed on it, and descended into savagery after 4000 years. World was full of very big and dangerous bugs and fungus and humans are prey most times.
