Terry obtained a copy of Vistapro and rendered these amazing Chakonan landscapes. Here we see an aerial view, shot at dusk, of the east coast of Flinder's continent, about 100km south of Berdoovia.

Pastoral wilderness from the north east corner of Dorado Park, near Chases-My-Tail. A popular region for hiking and camping.

Another location, near the one shown above (and, incidentally, very near where the Fiora's Fury first touched down on Chakona).

Bateleur, 3rd planet of the Chakastra System. Has four captured moons, too small to show in this view.

Bateleur is a dry, lifeless world but it does have an atmosphere, as can be seen in this day side photo.
