- | The band of space Traveller orbits is host to the Entropy Bias phenomenon, where interdimensional phenomena are //more likely// to occur in the vicinity of the planet and its moons.

- | The following moons of Traveller are colonised for living. | + | The following moons of Traveller are colonised for living, and named after their primary cities. They are more than 80% terraformed by Units over a period of decades to support life in 1G of gravity((or as close to as possible)), and with access to oxygen, a flash-grown ecosystem, and drinking water. Colonies are suitable for a majority of life forms which call Unity Protocol home. |

+ | Each moon-colony is large enough to support its own city with a population of up to 2 to 3 million people each, and sport an area of wilderness suitable for wildlife to remain relatively free. The colonies are encouraged to trade their surplus resources to keep the whole supplied. | ||

Most of the planet appears to be artificial from first glance, with metal and lights visible from space. The interior workings of the Units, and their express goal or the aims of their grand experiment is still up for debate. |

==== Nonna ==== | ==== Nonna ==== | ||
+ | This colony-moon is host to green forests, rolling meadows and farms, with villages dotted around every ten or so kilometres. Intended to be a planet-wide retirement and relaxation community for the elderly and retired, Nonna also enjoys being named one of the most relaxing places in the Aleph Cluster, and holidaymakers regularly have picnics in Nonna' | ||

Content and joy creators of all stripes are given incentives by the local government to keep producing. Residents say that some of the content is examined by the Units, but they keep direct intervention in how it should be produced, or the content' | ||

- | ==== Fade ==== | + | For civilisation to live on otherwise uninhabitable moons, Wind Wall technology is employed. The large walls push a curtain of atmospheric gasses into the air, creating a localised area of temperate habitable land roughly one hundred and twenty eight square kilometres in size, able to grow and sustain a small city and and town.
