Planet Tarsus, Veltos System, Federal Colonial Territories
The planet was one of the many planets in the galaxy that was just like Gaea - it was filled with vast blue oceans and verdant lands. Or, at least, it was how Gaea used to be, before nanites rewrote her land and her sea and her air. Tarsus’ equator was especially rich with life, and it enjoyed dense tropical forests alongside deep oceans, both of which were filled with all manner of life.
Its weather was also very much like Gaea - there was moderate, predictable rainfall in certain months. Other times, those same rains could get whipped up into violent storms. Strong enough to uproot trees.
