Description
Uveto VII is a moon orbiting the furthest gas giant in the Siretta system. While the system was opened in the 10th planet rush and many of its terrestrial planets were terraformed, the early settlers ignored Uveto VII as it appeared a frozen wasteland with nothing of interest on its surface. Nowadays several companies mine the frozen moon for its precious resources. These companies include RhenWorld, Akkadi and Xenogen. Largely covered in ice, with an internal ocean and wracked by extreme seasonal lightning storms, the planet is hostile and unforgiving -- but promises great riches to those who can brave its dangers.

Weather
Note that Uveto is an extremely cold and inhospitable environment with a dynamic weather system. Traversing on the surface will inflict cold damage to an unprotected Steele, with the damage varying based on where Steele is and what Steele is currently wearing. Details of how much the cold affects Steele is outlined below:
| Location | Base Damage (per minute) |
Resistance Threshold |
|---|---|---|
| Outdoor | 0.5 | 25% |
| Icy Tundra | 1.0 | 35% |
| Frozen Tundra | 1.0 | 50% |
| Condition | Damage Multiplier | |
|---|---|---|
| Skin Type | ||
| Fur | (base damage) * 0.5 | |
| Chitin or Scales | (base damage) * 1.25 | |
| Goo or Latex | (base damage) * 1.5 | |
| Nakedness | ||
| Nude | (base damage) * 2.0 | |
| Not Nude | nakedness = 1 | |
| No armor: (nakedness) + 0.333 | ||
| No upper garment or chest is exposed: (nakedness) + 0.333 | ||
| No lower garment or crotch/ass is exposed: (nakedness) + 0.333 | ||
| (base damage) * (nakedness) | ||
Steele can completely resist the cold damage if Steele's freezing resistance surpasses the resistance threshold or if Steele is wearing a heat belt.

Hostiles
General Strategy: All of the hostiles on Uveto have naturally evolved to be excellent at insulating heat to be very resistant to the bitter cold. As such, most of them have 50-100% immunity towards freezing damage. Conversely, they aren't used to extreme heats and their insulating fur can be highly flammable, meaning that they are vulnerable to burning attacks. Mating habits of the native sapients cause individuals to only really get in the mood if they can smell someone of the opposite sex is emitting pheromones from Heat or Rut. As such, tease attacks by default are ineffective against most enemies unless the player has a decent pheromone score. The Uvetans use Barbarian weapons such as axes, clubs, spears, and knives. Unlike the M'hengan's however, a lot more of the natives have been accepting of alien technology, so it is to be expected that they may be armed with the occasional basic firearm and Shield generator.
