Star System: ░░░░░░░░░ Population: 5,000 Technological Range: Solar, wind, and thermal energy sources keep Acquada comfortably fueled. The local populace works with high tech gear both on land and below the water in their research facility. Inspo Board:Here
Unique Characteristics: A panthalassic planet inhabited by a migrant species of aliens that look similar to the Earth-based beluga whales. They are a very friendly species with a tight-knit community. Having traveled long through the stars to find a planet that can support their people, they have been met with disappointment repeatedly, until discovering Acquada.
They have terraformed spiral-shaped tracts of land from the center of a strange coral forest that towers high into the sky. A technologically-advanced research facility is right in the center of this pool and burrows down deep into the ocean, accessible via elevator.
The facility is brightly-lit and bustling with researchers conducting tests ranging from the thermodynamic power capabilities of the planet, to others who are interested in the ecosystem underneath the water and how it contributes to the wild growth of the coral forests surrounding their new home.
The crew of the Eudora will be warmly welcomed among these locals as they have come bearing important supplies for them to treat and reinforce their deteriorating ocean research station. Due to being a sea water-based planet, much of the metal (despite its advanced treatments) still rusts and becomes brittle.
General Locations:
🌊 Open Waters: Take a boat out onto the open waters of Acquada on the surface. Boats can be piloted solo or with a small crew, but will not allow Eudora Crew to sail further than is reasonable from the researchers (don't steal their shit!)
🌊 Blue Garden: A comfortable and safe deep sea city base camp, reachable via the elevator topside. Surrounded by lush ocean flora, there are dozens of observation stations (enclosed balconies) with cozy pod chairs and drink kiosks. Vending machines full of plankton bars are stationed here. From here, you can catch a gondola down to the research facility.
🌊 The Research Facility: A sleek-looking research facility, equipped with cafeteria, recreation wing, and research-testing labs (the last of which is locked to Jr. Crew). Due to its size, there is quite a lot of ground to cover - and sometimes you might find yourself getting lost in the halls of the facility.
POINTS OF INTEREST
THE CONDEMNED AREA:
An area that has been closed off, the power running on basic survival mode down here. The air is thin and the lighting is limited to emergency strips in a sharp, burning orange. Clearly this area has been shut down for a reason... what reason that is is up to you to discover.
THE CAVE NETWORK:
Upon exploring, you may stumble upon some long, winding cave-like tunnels that seem to narrow out the further down you go in the Facility. You will feel claustrophobic navigating them, as though your head could hit the ceiling at any moment.
THE GROTTO:
Surrounded by a gently swaying forest of coral with sprawling roots, and pools of water, sediment, and small plantlife all over. The Grotto deeper within is sacred, and protected by a pair of locals. They will let crew members from the Eudora pass through for a visit, but they will not hesitate to use violence if you try to deface this place.
