Mariana is an ocean world. Its surface is a thick layer of ice, with no other resources to speak of. The only notable locations are a rusted, disused spaceport which connects to a giant elevator that goes deep under the water's surface.
In it's heyday, Mariana was full of research and mining outposts deep under the waves, where the local flora and fauna was studied for its various adaptations and mutations, and where the planets rich nuclear and metal resources were mined. These days, the planet has been considered "tapped out" by the planetary authority that authorized the expedition to Mariana. And as such, most of it's human life has moved on to greener pastures.
However there are several people who have remained. Turning a tidy profit on personal mining ventures, and plumbing the depths in search of forgotten history.
Faction: The Zamorra Mediaocracy
Key Locations:
The Vault: Located in the deepest waters on the planet. It has a small, run down research post/church dedicated to studying it.
The Lighthouse: A super-elevator that reaches the only spaceport on the surface. The Lighthouse is the first and last stop when exploring Mariana.
Torpedo Lake: The sole exposed water on the surface of Mariana. A manmade lake caused by the constant ICBM missiles erupting from its depths.
Leeran: The biggest underwater outpost still operational, containing 200,000 people. The hydroponics breadbasket.
Taxxon: A smaller outpost and the main mining facility still operational. Specializing in Uranium and metals.
Gedd: An abandoned mining facility located deep in the Yeerk Doldrums. Many daring submarine captains attempt to scavenge and salvage from it.
