"Life flows like water. To survive, you must be prepared to push and pull." — Abyssal scholar

Pronounced “peh-lah-gee-ah”, Pelagia is an ocean world without a horizon, its surface broken only by the rare islands and towering structures that rise and descend through the depths. Civilization here is vertical, stratified by pressure, light, and purpose. At the sunlit surface, the Lucent Stratum, vibrant coral megacities serve as clusters of diplomacy, trade, and cultural identity. Below, in the dim twilight zones of the Twilight Stratum, massive industrial complexes churn endlessly, forming the backbone of Pelagia’s technological power. In the crushing dark of the deep sea, in the Noct Stratum, hidden research enclaves and fortified installations push the boundaries of science and secrecy. The Thalassans, masters of engineering and adaptation, have built a society that thrives under constant environmental strain. The Abyssal, deep below, shroud their existence in mystery.

Geography and Environment

Pelagia is entirely covered in oceans, with all of its life being sustained underwater. Environments underwater can range from tropical coral reefs to deep trenches.

There are few islands on Pelagia, and most are relatively small, typically being used to receive travelers from other planets or spheres.

Stellar Information

Pelagia is located in the Deeptide system.

Pelagia's three moons form a tightly interacting tidal system that never repeats in the same configuration twice. The constant variation of ocean movements is part of why Pelagia developed such a distinct stratified structure.

Pelagia has one ring, a thin halo of ice and water vapor that circles the planet vertically, continuously replenished by the planet's water cycle. It is nearly invisible, a ghostly band that on occasion catches the light.

Notable Historical Events

Sometimes, things crash into Pelagia from the neighboring Deeptide energy field and slip beneath the waves. Numerous interesting and esoteric discoveries have been made on this planet.
