The concept of Low Earth Orbit (LEO) on Alternate Earth is unique due to the presence of the Spitz Anomalies. LEO is not defined by altitude, but by proximity to these magnetic anomalies that create a stable "orbital ring" around the planet. Satellites in LEO orbit at a distance that allows them to remain within the influence of a single anomaly, providing a consistent and reliable magnetic field. This has drastically changed the technology and methodology of space exploration and satellite deployment on Alternate Earth.
Spitz Anomalies are a series of large, naturally occurring magnetic anomalies found on Alternate Earth. They create a sort of "orbital ring" around the planet, which is instrumental in defining the concept of Low Earth Orbit. The anomalies have a strong influence on the planet's magnetic field and are believed to be a result of the unique geological composition of Alternate Earth's core.
The forests of Alternate Earth are unlike any found on our Earth. They have evolved to have their own unique defensive mechanisms, with trees able to form complex root networks that can sense and respond to encroaching threats. These forests are often found surrounding the Spitz Anomalies, and have adapted to the unique magnetic fields in those regions.
The forests' defensive mechanisms have significantly influenced Tactical combat on Alternate Earth. Units must adapt to deal with these formidable tree networks, using a combination of stealth, camouflage, and specialized weaponry to navigate and engage enemies within these forests. This has also led to a unique form of 'forest warfare' that is a defining feature of Alternate Earth's military strategy.
