The Orellian System: Aqua
Last Updated: 6 April 2000
A water world, tilted at an odd angle to suggest
it was once knocked out of its planetary spin to account for the lack of
much surface land.
The population lives beneath the waves in spherical
'housing' with its spaceport situated on one of the few larger islands.
Access to the domiciles is by tube.
Principal trades: Marine agriculture and
fishing, tourism
Indigenous intelligent species: Amphibious
'dolphin like' beings
The major food source for much of the system, Aqua teems with indigenous life and great and small. Although much of the planet is covered in water its surface is dotted with islands, the last vestiges of sunken continents.
The native life, evolved from some water-based animal is highly intelligent and their colonies are for the most part out of reach in the depths of the planet to all but the most robust of deep sea submersibles.
Fish farming abounds in giant floating installations, some of them moored to the islands. Colonists live in either these or submerged cities, the latter attracting curious tourists and running submarine and diving tours of the vast undersea world.
Overall Note: The only general concern I have about Aqua are the direction buttons, especially with the 'jump' between Pods as you pass down the tunnels. The design is great -- more knick knacks and other stuff, though.
Argo
The major colony near the tube point is Argo,
a bustling focus for trade and tourism.
