Editing Necron Red II (section)

==Soil==
In June, 2407, Geological Surveys have returned data showing the soil to be slightly alkaline and containing vital nutrients such as magnesium, sodium, potassium and chloride, all of which are necessary for living things to grow. However, while conducting experiments to test its pH, and discovered traces of the salt perchlorate. this would appear to make the soil more exotic than previously believed. 

Despite the harsh radioactive and mineralized environment life does exist here. There are several species of mosses, lichen, fungi and simple cytoplants that break down the nutrients found in the Necron Red II Soil and have developed unique biological functions to metabolize the more dangerous elements. The extreme mineralization of the Planet's soil has thus far twarted attempts by [[Starfleet]] scientists to introduce traditional hardy flora to the planet in an attempt to begin marginal terraforming operations there.
