Uxbridge House Grove (Rana IV)

A low, sheltering stand of trees beside the Uxbridge farmhouse on razed Rana IV. Trunks, low limbs and underbrush create a shadowed screen that swallows light and masks footsteps and sensors, the scent of scorched earth, sap and faint smoke hanging in the air. The grove provides immediate concealment for the Enterprise away team but doubles as a trap when a hidden snare attached to a gnarled trunk suddenly hoists Riker into view—turning pastoral calm into exposed peril. The location reads as both refuge and claustrophobic danger during first contact.
