VENUS

DESCRIPTION
VENUS WAS THE SECOND PLANET EVER COLONIZED BY THE NAUTICON FEDERATION, SHORTLY AFTER MARS. DUE TO ITS EXTREMELY CARBON-DENSE ATMOSPHERE PRIOR TO COLONIZATION, GREAT AMOUNTS OF RESOURCES WERE INVESTED INTO TERRAFORMING TO REMOVE THE CARBON GASSES AND ITS GREENHOUSE EFFECT UPON THE PLANET. IT IS NOW THE HOME OF SOLISTON, ONE OF THE LARGEST NAUTICON METROPOLISES. 

AS VENUS USED TO BE A HOSTILE ENVIRONMENT WHERE TEMPERATURE WAS IN EXCESS OF 400 DEGREES CELSIUS, GREAT RESERVOIRS OF HEAT WERE ABUNDANT BELOW THE PLANETARY SURFACE, HELPING PROVIDE GEOTHERMAL ENERGY TO THE FEDERATION FOR DECADES BEFORE THE ADVANCEMENTS IN ENERGY RECYCLING MADE IT OBSOLETE.

NOW, ALONGSIDE MERCURY, VENUS SERVES AS A GREAT POWER PLANT FOR THE FEDERATION'S VORACIOUS INDUSTRIAL FACILITIES, KEEPING THE NAUTICONS ENERGY SECURE FOR CENTURIES TO COME.

BESIDES ITS INDUSTRIAL CAPABILITIES, VENUS IS ALSO HOME TO COURAGEOUS AND ADVENTUROUS PEOPLE, TAKING PRIDE IN THEIR SAILOR ROOTS FROM THE PAST. ENLISTING IN THE UNITED NAUTICON STARFLEET WAS SEEN AS AN HONORABLE DUTY BY THE VENUSIAN PEOPLE. ADDITIONALLY, MANY FAMOUS FIGHTER ACES HAD CALLED VENUS THEIR HOMES.
