The sad ending of the first settlers on Planet Procyon.

Hello again, I hope you are all doing very well.
Thank you for joining me here once more.
I am Mari Swaruu.

As a reminder, Procyon is the third planet orbiting the Pleiadian Star Taygeta, also known
as 19 Tauri, which is a binary system together with the white dwarf star Sadicleya, or 19 Tauri-B.
Setting things straight, in one of my recent videos I said that Planet Procyon had nothing
to do with the Star Procyon, researching the history of the planet, I found new data about
why it is called that way.
Planet Procyon orbiting Taygeta takes its name from what the first people who discovered
and mapped it a long time ago decided to call it.
And those were Procyonian explorers who were very far from their Star Procyon, also called
Alpha-Carnus Menorius, and their planet, which is in the constellation of Carnus Minor, which
is the smaller of two of Orion the Hunters dogs, in the night sky.
They mapped the planet, yet they did not claim it for themselves, nor is there any data
of them mapping any other planet orbiting 19 Tauri, and this was a long time before the
first Lyrian settlers came to Taygeta.
When any crew of a Starship arrives at a new and previously unexplored planet, they
must follow strict protocols of research, to find out what dangers may be hidden there.
First, they must study the elements and chemicals present in its atmosphere, to see how suitable
it is to breathe for humans Lyrians.
Most planets which are apparently inhabitable are discarded because of their atmospheric
composition, even if it may be appropriate for complex life, simply because it is not
breathable.
After the atmosphere, and although its study gives the explorers many important clues
of what kind of ecology is present on a planet, they must next study its biology closely,
looking for dangerous species of all kinds, starting with plants and funguses, with their
spores, pollen and seeds, and more tevernue and unknown species that may be a danger for
the explorers and future settlers in that planet.
Next, they must study its larger and more complex living organisms, its animals, to understand
which may be a threat, how and why.
The first Lyrian immigrants who are running from the reptilian and tall grey pursuers, during
the Orion Wars and the Great Expansion, arrived on planet Temmer first, which is the super
inhabitable planet closest to the Star Taygeta, as I explained in previous videos.
Temmer is extremely friendly to human Lyrian biology in every possible way, starting from
its atmosphere which is clean and full of oxygen, good climate, and also because of its
ecosystems based on cooperation and symbiosis.
Temmer has no predators, hardly anything there has any poison worth mentioning, and its plant
and animal life are friendly or neutral to human Lyrian life.
Temmer is about as close as you can get to the concept of an ideal planet.
The first Lyrian settlers who later started to call themselves Taygetans, found this planet
extremely comfortable and nurturing for them, and after a while for their own safety.
They started to explore and map the other three planets of the Taygetan Star System, and
the next planet they explored was Erra.
They found to their great joy, that it is also a planet which is almost a perfect place
to live in, with the only problem being its very cold winters.
After studying its biology they found out that it was a lot like the one on Temmer, symbiotic
and friendly to human Lyrians, and with nothing dangerous worth mentioning.
As would be expected, the new Taygetans claimed the planet for their civilization, as they
moved on to planet Procyon, the third one orbiting Taygeta.
Although the early Taygetans had sent probes and ships to map Procyon from orbit, they
did not study it closely enough this way as they were planning to send a 50 man and woman
expedition there soon enough.
And this was a terrible mistake because according to historical records, they wrongly took
for granted that Procyons biology would also be symbiotic and friendly as it is on
the other two previous planets, Temmer and Erra, after all, why would Procyon be any different,
as they are in the same star system.
The 50 Taygetan explorers, men and women, arrived at Procyon in two small starships similar
to the fighter class used today, although a lot more primitive, and they set their base
camp on a calm beach near the planet's equator.
Their camp was made of collapsible, or folding pre-built structures that can interconnect
with each other in multiple ways, to form a larger one, and can also expand its size
in every direction as more can be added in a modular way, much like a Lego toy.
Although they noticed the strong gravity, the new explorers didn't see that as much
of a problem, so the first few days were calm and peaceful, full of hope and expectations
for the colonization of the planet.
Soon enough, problems started to arrive as crew members were stunned by insects and big
aggressive poisonous wasps, which claimed the first two lives of the explorers after
they were massively stung during one of their expeditions, deeper into the planet.
And they couldn't get them back to base camp fast enough.
It looks like the first explorers took too long to notice that although most of Procyon's
biology is also symbiotic, many other life forms there are parasitical and even carnivorous,
therefore very dangerous.
Although they were warned about Procyon's dangerous species with this unfortunate incident,
they continue to explore the planet and many of its areas mostly on foot, as they loved
camping and hiking.
As the weeks turned into months, they started to notice that Procyonian summer was extremely
hot and humid, raining every day, leaving the camp swamped and full of mud, which also
made the amount of blood sucking insects explode in quantities they had never seen before,
to the point where it was nearly impossible to go outside without protective gear, which
made exploring very uncomfortable because of the hot suits.
When the weather moved on and it became cooler again, they continued with their on foot explorations,
where one day they came across a herd of calyche creatures which had been eaten by large
predators in a gruesome way they had never seen before.
Although finding this was very alarming for them, they attributed the attack to large
cats, basically Panthers, which they had already detected inhabited the planet.
And although they failed to notice that such an attack decimating the population of cow-like
beings in one large strike is atypical of large wildcat behavior.
One unfortunate night as all 48 settlers were asleep in their modular base camp, they
started to hear strange movements outside, including banging as if someone wanted to
break in through their metal doors.
4 Volunteers, all men, decided to go outside to see what was going on, all heavily armed,
as flood lights lighted the night around the camp.
As they exited, they hadn't even closed the door of their modular buildings before being
attacked by vicious hordes of large carnivorous creatures that they had never seen before.
They were completely unknown to them.
The horrible creatures were the size of a skinny bear.
But with large tails, and large short crocodile mouths full of sharp teeth, and moved extremely
fast on all four legs, then entered the modular building attacking and devouring the unprepared
taygetans who were taken completely by surprise and most didn't stand a chance.
Five men and two women managed to barricade themselves in one of the storage compartments
behind the kitchens, where they lasted for an unknown period of time that night, only
to be eaten as well as the barricaded doors collapsed under the strength of the creatures,
as they were not designed for such an extreme situation.
Outside, three of the men who had initially gone out to see what was going on, still
survived mostly because they were in full gear and heavily armed with kinetic and plasma
rifles, with which they managed to kill several of the creatures, but were insufficient to
hold off the terrible attack, as they were quickly overtaken by the creatures.
The remaining three men ran into the jungle at night, shooting at the creatures who were
after them.
They managed to make a stand behind a fallen tree trunk, still attempting to get to the
two park starships close to the attacked modular buildings, as they shot their way through
the jungle at night.
But the creatures were too many, so they could not approach the starships, which back then
were not advanced enough to move alone to their rescue.
As the creatures flank the three men who were fighting for their lives, they managed to
make a run for a cliffside which they managed to climb high enough to make a last stand
there, as they called for help through their communicators.
The men were trapped at the top of a flat space on a cliff a short distance from the jungle
ground, surrounded by hordes of aggressive creatures they had never seen before.
Jumping on one another and climbing the cliff to get to the men, who by then no longer
had ammunition.
During the plasma rifles as their power cells were depleted, so all they had to defend
themselves with, where their last resource weapons, knives and swords that resembled Japanese
katanas in size and shape, where they lasted several hours until dawn when a fighter class
starships sent from Erra finally arrived to their rescue.
The ship shot several rounds at the creatures below, which hardly ran away at all, as it
circled to pick up the three survivors.
The ship's frontal ramp opened, and the men jumped into the ship, which later circled
the building complex finding no sign of Taygetan life.
Later on, that same procyonian day, other ships arrived with heavily armed Taygetans
who had the terrible task of identifying what was left of the bodies, and investigating
what had just happened.
Forty-five people, men and women died there, that terrible night, only three survived because
of their skills, and because they were heavily armed.
Many things added up to propitiate such a terrible incident.
Most of all the colonists took for granted that procyonians biology was as friendly as
the one in Temmer and Erra, that was a terrible mistake.
They did not understand all the creatures there, as should have been before setting up such
a frail permanent camp there.
Today it is known that the attack was performed or done by a horde of dinosaur like reptile-based alpha
predators of the planet, today known as Gunnar Harballs.
They can be found working on their own or in large numbers much like a wolf pack.
They hide underground during the day inside caves and crevices in the procyonian mountains,
and come out to hunt at night.
They have a horrible tendency to decimate they pray almost until extinction.
And this was probably the case that night as the settlers were probably the only food
they had near them, and they surely were very hungry.
The Taygetan settlers explored the area carelessly and noisily leaving a clear track of their
presence there, making them easy to follow back to their base camp.
They are still a problem or a threat to the Taygetan population of procyonians to this day,
although they are now contained to certain areas of the planet which are unadvisable
to explore.
These creatures are not indigenous to Procyon, as today it is known that they also inhabit
several planets of the general area of Orion.
Someone, probably reptilians, seeded them on Procyon a long time ago, but their motivation
is still unknown.
They are extremely strong, and resilient, being able to withstand several shots before
being killed.
Back then, the early plasma rifles had a power cell that although it was very efficient
for its size, had a limited amount of power.
Modern-day Taygetan plasma rifles have a small zeropoint reactor as their power source,
which gives them nearly unlimited fire capacity with no reloading necessary, with a maximum
firing rate of close to 180 shots a minute.
They are only limited by the resistance and the duration of the physical gun itself,
which will eventually wear down, but after many years of use and countless shots.
This sad incident is now a textbook example of colonization mistakes, and it is taught
to military personnel and future explorers in Taygetan schools.
