Solon

Aspects

• Rainy season is just our name for the solar year
• Would you like fish sauce on that?

 

Notes

Solon's sole habitable planet is also named Solon, and its surface is 87% water, with one modest continent and vast sprays of volcanic islands. Significant volcanic activity has contributed to a chronic greenhouse effect, and to mountainous terrain on the token continent that leads to heavy rainfalls. On land, the rain and the periodic storms of ash make life unpleasant. On the sea, the ships just sail for cleaner precipitation while taking full advantage of the vast array of lifeforms in those enormous oceans. Lack of landmass, and an increased awareness of environmental concerns in the last few decades, has led to an effort to move heavy industry to space or colonies on the lifeless inner worlds of the system, financed by exporting the aquatic harvest.
