==Climate==
* one pink moon, Shibiusa
* maritime temperate to boreal, often approaching alpine due to low atmospheric pressure of -0,15 TS 
* 85% of the surface are covered with water 
==History==
* low N'Ptalini population
* about 10% serfs working in municipal services, a few slaves 
== Snippets ==
* the capital Usagi is a sprawling agglomeration of several city centres among low hills
* the ducal palace lies withing a walled-off, square area in the middle of Usagi, a cluster of interconnected modernist pagodas sitting on large boulders, surrounded by dense pine forrest 
*the system's mandala is guarded by the space station Kurosawa, considered one of the largest and grandest of the empire. It is a spectacularly ostentatious construct, mimicking ancient palaces from Qufu and Shang Zhou, yet adding it's unique, glittering cybaroque style. 
== Culture ==
* Academic success (or at least financial success) are held in highest regard. Elementary schools are free and compulsory, everyone who excels there is pushed into rigorous training with cut-throat competition.
* Despite its technological orientation, cities on Shibuya are surprisingly quiet. Most cities sport excellent public transport, many of them underground. City layout often encourages going by foot. 
* Evening entertainment includes bar-hopping, karaoke, arcades, movies etc. While brothels are prohibited, a wide variety 'companion bars' is available, most of which actually offer nothing but friendly small-talk. 
* Kyothari propaganda is much more subtle here than on other planets, mostly focussing on downplaying other Houses' accomplishments and emphazising Kyothari achievements. 
* They have a moderately successful team in the Imperial Hoverball League, the Shibuya Starlights
