Gatchina is a near desert world with little moisture. One first-time visitor would describe the feeling of having the air take all the moisture from his body when he first left his DropShip. The terrain was a fusion of desert heat and rocky tundra. Yet the planet was populated by a hearty group of farmers dedicated to building a life on this world. Their technological resources were limited though with reports of animal drawn carts being used to transport visitors from the DropPort.[34]
