Landrith is a world gripped by an ice age, totally covered in snow and ice except for isolated and scattered areas of green and warmth around volcanoes. The world was inhabited at one time by intelligent beings who established an advanced preindustrial culture and left behind archaic ruins but so far there has been no contact with any intelligent natives. The planet has also been visited by advanced aliens who left behind various traces of their visits.
The planet was first explored 14 months ago when a Republic survey team landed in several locations and did a brief surveys in several locations. While they found ruins both in the volcanic warm zones and under the snow and ice, the truly eye catching discovery was a massive alien construction jutting from the side of a mountain. An antenna on top was broadcasting an omni-directional pulsing signal, which is what originally caught the attention of the survey team. The structure was built by an unknown alien race about 3000-4000 years ago.
A prefabricated research tower was built by the survey team next to a ruined town and a few kilometers from the alien structure. The town is an interesting example of a local mystery, the surrounding jungle does not encroach on the ruins at all, it stops along a clean straight line surrounding the ruined town. This phenomena has been observed in several other sets of ruins on the planet
