Third planet of [[Delta Pavonis]] system (Delta Pavonis III). Planet has a distinctive greenish hue from space, for which it is named. This is due to extensive jungle coverage, high ocean plankton level, and aerophytoplankton also known as [[skyweed]], an airborne algae.

=== Notes ===
* [[Verdigris City]] -- capital, to the extent it has one. biopharmaceutical industry and artifact black market
* Extinct native culture -- neolithic tombs remain (see Stone Age)
* [[New Toronto]] -- the other major city (see Reticuli Deception)
* Spacefarer pyramid, partially buried in old desert dunes and overgrown by jungle, stripped (probably by Velkaryans)
* Skyweed -- is flammable, especially when dried to a powder

 === Preliminary data ===
 * Orbital radius (avg): 1.105 AU (102,765,000 miles, 165,306,000 km)
 * Average surface temp (ignoring albedo and greenhouse effect) 13.03 C
-* Gravity slightly less than Earth
+* Gravity slightly less than Earth (0.99)
 * Density slightly higher than Earth (because more heavy elements - older prestellar nebula)
 ** Therefore slightly smaller radius
 * Surface air pressure ~ 1.2 bar? Air thicker than Earth's
 ** Atmosphere composition: ~ 25% O2, 73% N2, 1.5% Ar, 0.5% H2O, CO2, etc
