Uranian System
Another gas giant, Uranus’ mysterious outer layer of thick blue gas gives no indication as to what might lie beneath. Its delicate, barely perceptible set of rings, sideways orbit, and unusual weather patterns make it unique amongst the planets. Only one of its many moons has been settled: Cordelia, Ophelia, Bianca, Cressida, Desdemona, Juliet, Portia, Rosalind, Belinda, Puck, Miranda, Ariel, and Umbriel are still undeveloped, along with Oberon, Caliban, Sycorax, Prospero, Setebos, Stephano, and Trinculo. Most extrasolar astronomy is now done in the Uranian System.
The system is among the last colonized, in the farthest reaches of the solar system. This and the Neptunian system are the edge of human civilization, where only the fearless and the desperate venture—for better or worse.
