Pandataria

Pandataria is a fictional planet and environment featured in the Fallout series of role-playing video games. The planet is characterized by its tropical appearance, with lush green forests, rivers, and seas. It is home to various pre-war species, including the giant cotons, which serve as the planet's dominant predators.

According to the Fallout canon, Pandataria was terraformed from a mars, allowing for the colonization and habitation of various pre-war species. These species were released from the Overseer's control in 2161, resulting in the catastrophic event known as the "Massacre of Equal." Following this event, the planet descended into chaos, prompting the Overseer to evacuate the planet and attempt to rebuild from Mars.

Pandataria holds significance within the Fallout universe due to its position as a failed experiment in the colonization of pre-war species. The environment and the experiments conducted on the planet serve as a cautionary tale about the dangers of playing with nature and experimenting on complex ecosystems.

The game mechanics and inhabitants of Pandataria are not fully explored in the main Fallout games. However, various documents and in-game terminals provide information about the planet's history, and the experiments that took place on it. Pandataria remains an open-world environment within the Fallout universe, offering players the opportunity to explore and interact with the varied flora and fauna that inhabit the planet.
