Regardless by the 23rd century, the civilization had long-died out and only ancient ruins remained on the planet. The planet had turned into a hot and arid wasteland. The only plant life that survived on the planet were a type of dry bush and the poisonous Borgia plant. Because of the hot and arid environment, anyone who visited the planet needed to bring a large supply of salt so that they could survive. | Regardless by the 23rd century, the civilization had long-died out and only ancient ruins remained on the planet.

In 2261, archaeologist [[Crater, Robert|Robert Crater]] and his wife Nancy began an expedition on M-113 to conduct a survey of the planet's many ruins. They moved into a large deserted ruin on the planet surface and began their archaeological research. During the first four years, they shipped out large amounts of artifacts, gathered from several digging sites on the planet, made numerous reports and were visited by a number of ships. A large drop in shipments was noted in the fifth year, however. | In 2261, archaeologist [[ma:Crater, Robert|Robert Crater]] and his wife Nancy began an expedition on M-113 to conduct a survey of the planet's many ruins.

Unknown at the time of the Crater expedition, a single surviving member of the M-113 creatures species continued to live on the planet. In 2264 or 2265, it murdered the real Nancy Crater, an act that almost drove Crater to destroy it. In the end, the fact that it was the last of its kind, or perhaps its ability to assume any form, stayed his hand, and he lived with it for a year or more. Crater buried his wife on a hill on the planet, but was no longer as efficient in his archaeological work, causing the drop in shipments. | Unknown at the time of the Crater expedition, a single surviving member of the M-113 creatures species continued to live on the planet.
