Novaya Rodina was only the second major world we colonized without a moon, after Venus.  Both worlds have small asteroids orbiting their star in company with them, but these are nowhere near large enough to be considered moons.  Because of this, Novaya lacks the daily tides of Earth.  The local animal and plant life are adapted to that kind of world, making them distinctly different to Earth species in many ways.
