Uranus is a gas giant and the seventh planet in the Sol system.[1]

Overview[edit]

An oddity among Sol's gas giants, Uranus is mostly unexplored and uninhabited by humanity, as its distance from Sol makes traveling there costly. Its moons are poorly-understood when compared to those of Jupiter. Despite this, Uranus has a number of distinctive features that separate it from its neighbors. Firstly, its axial tilt has turned its poles past a 90o angle to the orbital plane. Secondly, Uranus has a number of anomalous radiation spikes that have not been addressed or explained.[1]

History[edit]

At an unknown point in time, habitats did exist near Uranus, but were abandoned some time in the 2400s.[2]
