This world has been home to Turian civilization for 15,000 years, and the Turians have made sure that although Palaven is heavily armed. All native animals, including the Turians, have metallic carapaces on their bodies to shield themselves from the constant radiation, and even the plant life has adapted, closing up during peak sunlight hours and repairing themselves by night. However, this strong radiation will prove deadly to unprotected guests, so visitors have to remain indoors or wear environmental suits during their stay. This radiation does not make Palaven particularly hot, since Garrus Vakarian (who grew up there) compared it to the somewhat mild Virmire. The most significant hazard is the intense solar radiation, since Palaven has a weak magnetic field compared to similar planets like Earth and Thessia. Palaven may not be the vicious hellscape that Tuchanka is, but it is still a world where visitors must be wary.
