BEWARE OF THE ALIEN SPIDER
You are probably not in the habit of visiting the Magrathea space station, far out on the edge of the Solar System beyond Titan, beyond Saturn, even beyond the Interstellar Link. After all, why should you go there? It doesn't have an exchange so there are no trading opportunities, or places to build factories. It's not on the navcomp routes so you can't program your ship to go straight there. About all it's good for is as a showcase for the six stock planets that you can use if you don't want to design your own worlds.
And now there's another reason to avoid going to Magrathea - at least, if you are an arachnophobe. For if you venture into the southern end of the workshop, the area where species of plants and animals are cultivated, you are sure of a big surprise...
