Gliese Beta III, heralded as one of the greatest successes of the early terraforming projects by human settlers, is a gargantuan rockey planet. Herschel Generators took the world from a small gas giant with ten moons to an ocean rich, forested garden world with warm seas and forests teeming with life. The poles are encased in ice with continents hidden below the north and a frozen sea in the polar south. The exact date of the planet’s creation is a constant source of debate between scholars. Gliese Beta III Government lists the founding date as MG035.
Heru is the largest city on Gliese Beta III and is nestled at the foot of the jungle covered Vitula mountains. Heru is known for it’s rich nightlife and diverse culture. The Rongo jungle covers the mountains and the entire west basin of the region.
Farview is the planet’s capital city where the Senate of the United Republics of Malin Galaxy convenes. It is located in the southern hemisphere on the continent of Domisedes. This southern continent has the largest population and the least amount of remaining wild spaces.
Large seasonal tropical storms and typhoons assault the major continents of Gliese Beta III. Due to strong engineering and civil planning, there is little structural damage from these weather events. The intercontinental mag-trains operate with near impunity despite frequent storms.
In orbit around Gliese Beta III is Ares Minor, home of the United Republics of Malin Galaxy Navy and Intelligence Service. The United Republics of Malin Galaxy Army is located on planet, Sama. The URMG Navy and Intelligence Service both maintain terrestrial offices in Heru.
