NOTE: While these aren’t meant to be silly, they might still be . . .
Mirriam/Five Sisters
Multiple moons cause large 10 meter or higher waves at all times across the planet, and the small land mass (10%) is mostly lowland, and so is frequently covered in giant tides from end to end, with the exception of a few protected highlands.
Debarre/Darrian
Debarre only has a population of 1, so we might state that the Debarre bear, in its various regional species forms, is to be found behind nearly every bush and corner, looking for its difficult to attack and kill natural prey (whatever that is). People traveling about the world are in hefty danger all the time.
Margesi/Vilis
Suffering an allergy on this world has a 1% cumulative chance per visit for non-natives to suffer additional permanent allergies of other kinds.
Joyeuse
I can’t think of how develop something on top of nothing.
Corfu/Aramis
Just watch what happens if you forget to get the shot! Also, the immunization shot must be given every day while on-world, and for three days thereafter.
Rugburn/Aramis
I mean, Rugbird/Aramis . . . This world has a C type atmosphere, and it’s considered so much more dangerous than all the other C type atmospheres in Charted Space that it merits an Amber Zone? I’d think the atmosphere would be virulent enough to melt the planet, at that point.
Emape/Five Sisters
The Imperial Marines, taking advantage of the anarchic conditions outside the starport, have (without letting anyone know it’s them . . . you know, disguises!) begun taking field trips outside the starport when on leave. They take private weapons, and go hunting for other sophonts. INI has suppressed all mention of such rumors in the public press, but the TAS has still slapped the world with an Amber Zone.
Ucella/Five Sisters
Bad LSP! Bad! No donut!
Ok, the last one was meant to be silly.
Proposed Explanations for Certain Silly GT:BTC Travel Advisories.Originally posted by rancke:
Well, there's Mirriam/Five Sisters that is said to be rated Amber Zone because of extremely hazardous tides (Just don't go sailing). Debarre/Darrian is rated Amber because it is dangerous to go hunting the Debarre bear (Just don't go hunting). Margesi/Vilis is amber because its atmosphere causes mild allergic reactions that clear up in a couple of days (That is unpleasant, not dangerous). Joyeuse is amber for no reason at all, unless it is the presense of a military base. Corfu/Aramis is amber zoned because of an ubiquitous disease for which immunization shots are available (Just get the shots). Rugbird/Aramis is apparently amber zoned because the atmosphere is so dangerous that the entire population lives in orbit and only a few technicians on hazard pay ever visit the surface (Just stay in the habitats).
Then there are the cases where the Amber rating would make sense if the conditions that caused the rating made sense: Emape/Five Sisters is rated Amber because everything outside the starport is anarchy, but 90% of the population (460,000 people!) works for the starport where Imperial marines keep the peace. Ucella is amber because LSP operates several chemical plants that are big enough to pollute a world the size of Ucella (4,761 miles diameter).
