Rust Weed
Rust Weed is a moss like plant of reddish or orange color found growing on the Planet Kasha, primarily found in the lowlands.

Ecology
Rust Weed feeds on the morning dew and the various ferrous particles in the sands and rocks of the Kashian landscape, it is often found growing on cliff and rock faces exposed from recent sand storms. Rust Weed blooms are generally found in the Lowlands regions around the plateaus.

Rust Weed is a food source for Grit Worms, which can be found feeding on the moist Weed after the morning Dew.

Processing and Export
Rust Weed is harvested and processed into many useful substances by the refineries at Aukar Basin.

In case harvesting operations are interrupted by Kasha's violent and unpredictable weather causing costly interruptions to refining, large stockpiles of harvested Rust Weed are kept in silos.
