A field survey of planet RO-20
Twelve plates by Asterian: the organisms and seas of an ocean world, shown in the order life arose there. Every word on every plate is kept exactly as written.
The plates
In sequence
From a single folded-nucleus cell to colonies that share their food.
About
An ocean world where life is green, lives in the sea, and runs on sunlight. Its cells carry a folded nucleus, a four-layer membrane, and one organelle that does the work of both mitochondria and chloroplasts. Everything that follows grows from that start.
The plates name places too: the Folegrass land, the Arched Barren, Valentine's Bay, and the Circularis current that feeds them. Some carry map squares (V1-B6, B7, C6) from a map not yet shared.
Painter and author of the survey. Each plate pairs a painting with the artist's own notes, diagrams, and the occasional fun fact.
Open any card to see the full painting beside its transcribed notes. Use the arrow keys to move between plates. Each plate has its own link, so you can send a friend straight to the Lamps.
