During The Recollections of Queen Arianna (TROQA) saga in the 2600s and 2700s, the "Sky People," or Terrans from Earth, brought the red-billed tropicbird to two exoplanets that resembled Earth: Berbania from Ursa Major and Reinachos from Cygnus. Despite the death of our planet, conservation efforts are helping this species recover from endangerment or near extinction. The red-billed tropicbird became an invasive species as a result of human interactions for game hunting and rewilding. In two exoplanets that resembled Earth, tropicbirds lived in conditions and climates identical to those of Earth.
