During a recent list discussion of the Scarecrow's origin, series writer Christopher Rowley recalled the following:

• "I can't remember exactly, was Granna a Terraformed world? ..<clipped>....I think that originally it was a barren rock. The Scarecrow entity was dumped there either as a punishment or simply because it couldn't be turned off. I think the idea was that the Scarecrow thing then became dormant, grew into a cyst that could survive there in the dark forever. Then, much later, humans came and set to making soil and stirring it around."
