[Information about New Canaan is a mix of official information from "Serenity: Atlas of the verse: Volume 1" and custom information from Sidney Bainbridge]
-------------------------
Known as a "sleeper" in terraforming circles, New Canaan has been in Stage 7 of the Dokia Planetary Engineering Scale for decades longer then projected. Despite early success in compression and sea level stabilization, there remains a remarkable amount of geological change and atmospheric upheaval. As a result, New Canaan remains decades away from supporting full colonization.
A large equatorial basin is successfully terraformed, although it is still subject to massive and violent acid-rain storms. This area houses the only active settlements on New Canaan. The Capital, Baal, contains most of the of the planets population.
The Alliance has appointed a regional governor and no longer maintains a regular presence. The Planetary monitoring station is now fully automated, transmitting updates to the Planetary Engineering Bureau.
The planet's moons were terraformed successfully and on schedule. Today they serve as the mining colonies, providing raw materials for the assembly of additional terraforming infrastructure for new Canaan.
New Canaan after the signal fell even further out of the hands of the Alliance and more and more in tot eh hands of former brown coats and smugglers.
Planet specs[/size][/color]
System; Blue Sun
Terraforming: Ongoing
Mass: 3.71 x 10^21 tonnes
Mean Diameter: 10,171 km
Atmosphere: N2/O2/CO2/H2O/NH3
population: 298,000
Restrictions: Although technically restricted, New Canaan Lacks full Alliance enforcement support. Proper clearances are still advised.
Mass: 4.69 x 10^18 tonnes
population: 46,000
Restrictions: Open
Ugarit was new Canaan's first terraforming success. in addition to housing several small ore and gemstone mines, the moon is also used as the retreat by new Canaan's governor.
Mass: 85.08 x 10^19 tonnes
population: 2,750
restrictions: Open
Lilac's single mining town provides basic raw material for new Canaan's terraforming. After the signal it became the place that housed the little bit of Alliance government in New Canaan's planetary system.
There are 3 cities that fall in the terraformed region:
Baal - the capital and larges city on the planet making up most of the population
Ransom - the northern most city and the one that sits closest to the edge of the terraformed area
Nineveh - the southern most city that cits along the edge of the ocean
in addition to the 3 cities in the terraformed region there is also one dock:
Bishop Docks - sits along the southern coast of the terraformed area directly between Nineveh and Baal
it can be assumed that Baal also has it's own docks in the city but not to the scale of Bishop docks.
The rest of the planet looks black on covered with volcanic activity outside of the terraformed area there is little to be seen then different volcano's and other hazardous ways to meet your demise. The terraformed area is only about 1/20 of the planets surface with about half of the planet being covered in ocean suggesting temperatures are not to high due to the volcanic activity.
Though the planet is on the rim it is always best to let the people there know that you are coming as there is an abundance of Independence there and there is a stock pile of Antiaircraft cannons left over from the war. The port authority master's office for the planet and moons is located on Lilac.
Trade information on the planet is as follows:
It is a good place to sell the following:
Blue sun cargo 9average price)
food and grain
General stock
heavy machinery (average price)
medical supplies (good price)
weapons
specialized electronics (good price)
terraforming equipment (good price)
it is a good place to buy:
Raw materials - general (average price)
raw materials - medical (good price)
The Maiden's Mercy
The Maiden's Mercy is an El Dorado-Class ship that can be found either in Orbit or flying in the atmosphere of New Canaan. It acts as a high class auction house on the rim. It auctions everything from earth-that-was artifacts to human slaves. When it is selling illegal goods it is usually found in the skies of the planet above the wastes instead of in orbit. It is hard to secure permission to come aboard the ship and it has a good sized security detail that makes it hard for unwelcome guest to board the ship.
Smugglers Ally
Smuggling is considered illegal on the planet as far as the locals will tell you and by what the alliance believes. In actually smuggling is a main trade of the planet. Though not to much needs to be smuggled in to the planet many smugglers use the planet as a storage area and a place to lay low here. Due to the small area of the planet being terraformed it has prooven to be a great place to touch down in the wastes to avoid notice. Though not officially name Smugglers Ally it has become know to insiders as this and is one of the best places to find contraband goods and contacts for smuggling.
