| **Traveller** is a gas giant located in the [[territories:aleph_cluster|Aleph Cluster]]. Traveller itself is an inhabitable place, but the many moons which orbit the planet have been terraformed into colonies. Managing and maintaining these colonies is the responsibility of the [[society:unity_protocol|Unity Protocol]], and the citizens living on them. At least half of the moons are colonised. | **Traveller** is a gas giant located in the [[territories:aleph_null|Aleph Cluster]].

| 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. This phenomenon is exploited by the Unity Protocol to stay culturally vibrant, up to date with many different technologies, and keep it challenged by new arrivals friendly or otherwise. | The band of space Traveller orbits is subject to an increased rate of the [[physics/entropy_bias|Entropy Bias]] phenomenon, where interdimensional phenomena are //more likely// to occur in the vicinity of the planet and its moons.

Most of the planet appears to be artificial from first glance, with metal and lights visible from space.

| This heavily urbanised colony justifies its ongoing existence as an 'ongoing social experiment in deregulation'. What the Units found was that those with more power, wealth, and influence exploited everybody beneath them, and they have created a densely packed city with terrible air, cagey and impoverished people, and an export of criminals and people whose poor decisions follow them throughout the Aleph Cluster. That said, its the best place to get anything bulk fabricated for cheap, no questions asked, and with a smile. Units frequently find their hardest work in keeping the divided community together on Noir, and it takes nerves of steel to get by day to day. | This heavily urbanized colony justifies its ongoing existence as an 'ongoing social experiment in deregulation'.
