When I first started writing 3470 C.E. I needed to find a star like Sol, our sun, with the right luminosity and spectrum, to be able to support a planet in it's habitable zone, like our Earth. There was a lot of information about a star called Gliese 581 with planets orbiting it. One of the planets was being called a 'Super Earth.' I read about it and found that the star is a red dwarf and that would make the planet tidally locked, in the same way our moon is tidally locked, so one side is always dark. I wanted a planet like our Earth, in an earlier stage of developement, that could be nurtured and groomed into a super farm planet. The farmers would all use biodynamic agriculture, that looks upon the land as a living being and on a farm as an individual.
