Planet: New Byzantium

New Byzantium is the fifth planet from the sun in the Tricadia system. As an oceanic planet, the settlements remain connected on the few volcanic islands found on the surface. With breathable atmosphere mostly coming from the photosynthesis of luminous algae, the planet glows in eerie green shades that can be seen from space.

Although the theocratic Messianic Order has laws against most of its use, genetically modified sea life has become a necessity for the self-sustainability of the planet. Sporting one of the highest life expectancies of the sector, lowest crime rate, and economically booming society, the planet sees a lot of influx of settlers, both religious and otherwise. However, restrictive laws keeps cultural spacers from truly enjoying the benefits.

Due to a lack of land area, the settlers have built several large floating cities that also acts as fishing vessels and research stations.
