Oberon
Oberon is a world that's, to be frank, barely interesting - and barely useful to the Mankind as a whole. There is no industry here and no agriculture, with the precious few services available here only existing to offer its inhabitants the barest essentials needed for them to survive.
It's only usefulness lies in being used to host a number of research facilities that are considered a bit too dangerous to be housed on a planet that has a significant civilian population. However, seeing the ever-increasing threat of those, changing Oberon into a second Prison World before everything here explodes is under consideration.
Geography
Similar to that of Titania. Two large oceans making up for about half of its surface, the rest split between largely unremarkable continents. There are almost no geographic features of note, except for a few fairly high mountains but with slopes so gentle that you could climb a mountain and not notice it.
Climate
Its extremely tilted axis causes half of the planet to be undergo long polar night at any given time. Due to the moon's temperature maintained by greenhouse effect rather than sunlight, the temperature difference between the side experiencing polar night and the other one is almost non-existent.
From time to time, some snow occurs at the night-side of the moon, which cools the air significantly and causes intense rain and creates wind. Said wind pushes the cooled air towards the illuminated side of the moon, where it heats up and absorbs moisture, causing a few days of clear sky. This is the only weather pattern existing on Oberon.
