Darwin's World

WDH-385-1837 (Darwin’s World): Categorized as a WDH (World Declared Hostile), Darwin’s World is located on the outer fringe of human-settled space and beyond the sphere of Commonwealth influence and protection. It is covered in thick layered jungles that obscure much of the surface from the light of the system’s M3V star and the sheer amount of life is unheard of even on the most hospitable of settled worlds. The animal and plant life endures an ever accelerating process of evolution to survive. Most plant life possess defensive toxins or weapons that would incapacitate or kill the average animal and not even the simplest herbivore is lacking in horns, snipes, or serrated teeth. Scout and survey vessels will only study the world in orbit, due to the loss of several away teams to the planet’s hostile life-forms. A scant few ships have crashed on the world, but as expected, their crews were never heard from again.

Of all of worlds, this is my favourite - think about it as you read the details - it sounds amazing despite the dangers. Its also so credible.
