Thalassa

> *"One of the Thirteen founding planets, it is the only oceanic one among the top planets. The main center of progress and advancement in this Nation. Technological and Medical research drive this marine world. Its large oceans are a wonder to behold, and so is its marine fauna. Strong and enduring people, who know well what the challenges of live are. Nothing can stop them from going beyond their boundaries, and surely not the Ocean".* **- Miriam Ulrich, Parlamentarian.**

Thalassa is a terran world, located in the ***Poseia System***, in the Akai Nebulae. It is one of the most important planets of the Intergalactic Federation. Its the only massive "water-world" within the Nebulae and the only one within the thirteen founding worlds. Being a founder, the planet is hold in great steem by the inhabitants of the Intergalactic Federation.

It is known for its degree of technological advancement, with many service related business production, pharmaceutical institutions and genetic and medical centers. it has become as well a main educational center. Fishing as well as marine training and production are also important activities. It was the fifth settled planet and has remained one of the top founding planets in terms of wealth, importance and population.

Thalassians

The Planet is one of the 13 founding planets of the Intergalactic Federation, and thus is one of the most important and one of the symbols of the nation. It holds a high degree of Marine live, unseen anywhere else.

It was settled by refugees from the wars between the Empire and the Union. Its colonization was aided by Mirdans and Novans, who had prepared this Oceanic world for Human settlement in order to decongest their own planets from the massive influx of refugees.

## Geography

The planet is one of the only water-worlds among the worlds found in the Akai Nebula. It is as well the only one of the 13 founding worlds of the Intergalactic Federation to be of such nature.

The planet has no Continents, but three big islands:

* ***Elleida***

The biggest island within the planet. It covers a vast amount of land, with around 8 million km2 in size. This huge island-continent has deep forests and mountains inland and its people do not life (unless in the coast) directly driven by the ocean. Most of the largest cities are located. The continent's total population is 21 Billion.

* ***Oyana***

The island is the second largest in the planet, with a total size of 6.2 million km2. The continent is lush on its northern coast and full of mountains and jungles in its interior. Most of the cities lie in the coast but there is also large settlements in some of the mid-interior. Oyana has also the largest amount of volcanoes within the planet. Total population of Oyana is 16.5 billion.

* ***Itria***

Its the third biggest island in the planet, with a total size of 4.4 million km2. It has one of the most dynamic ecosystems on land, in the whole planet. Its climate is mostly mild with oceanic and continental sort of climates. Large cities are located in the coast and alongside the massive rivers that flow from it's mountain ranges and valleys. On the center, lies the Mindri Plateau, which is arid and holds the tallest mountain in the planet. The plateau is small in size and unpopulated but has one of the most peculiar fauna and flora in Thalassa, leading to pharmaceutical centers of reseach and scientific expeditions led into the plateau. Itria has a total population of 15.5 Billion

* ***Sakos Archipelago***

Large as it is, the archipelago covers about 67 islands of different sizes. Some of them are joined together to form shallow waters in between islands with low depth that are used by many of the creatures of the planet. It has become the largest biologically reach are of the planet and a reproductive place of main importance  for fauna and flora. Most of it is currently protected and althought the islands are heavily inhabited, human waste and impact on the ecosystem has been reduced to almost nothing by decree, being one of the most "eco-friendly" places in the Akai Nebula (and probably the Galaxy too). It's total population is 8.5 billion.

* ***Nilopian Islands***

Its a group of islands with about 4.2 billion inhabitants. Most of them lived in large cities and most of it is dedicated to fishing activities.

* ***Uina Artificial Island***

Its a large mass of building, all joined up and man-made. It has been constructed later on in the sees of Thalassa. It has been enlarge for millennia and now covers around 450 000 km2 on lenght. It holds a total population of 2.3 billion people and its one of the main industrial and chemical producting plants. It also produces technical appliances but the most important work they do is scientific research on marine biology, chemistry, physics and other water-science related activities.
