We Made It— A Human colony world orbiting Procyon A. It is a light-gravity world; an unconfirmed source claims 0.59 gee. The planet's axis of rotation points directly through its primary, causing winds up to 1500 MPH in summer and winter. As a result, all buildings are underground. Flat concrete roofs are surrounded by barren deserts of fine sand. The deserts bloom in spring and autumn. Humans native to We Made It are called Crashlanders. We Made It is one of three or four Human colonies mistakenly settled following erroneous ramrobot signals; see slowboat. ["The Ethics of Madness", "Neutron Star", "Flatlander"]
