Titania

The first and only of Uranus’ moons to be settled by colonists for the long term, this ‘ice ball’ orbiting Uranus is so far from the sun that almost no solar energy can be captured. Materials must be imported from other systems to generate fusion energy, though there is hope amongst Titanians that the necessary materials can be found in the other moons surrounding them. Ice is the one thing that is plentiful, so water and oxygen are not an issue, but organic material is practically non-existent otherwise and must be imported as well. The five thousand Titanians living on the moon are pioneers, and their existence is accordingly basic.

Skepticism about the odds for a colony like Titania’s becoming a stable foothold for humanity so far from the sun is high across the solar system, but it was the same for the Saturnian System 100 years past, and so it will be for every great venture humanity takes as time marches on.
