HESPERIS
Western Integrity
- Life here is difficult, whether it be because hostile wildlife, killer weather, or rampant disease. Human settlement here is sparse and scattered. While there are a few safer big cities in the most settled areas, most Hesperites are rural agricultural workers trying to make a living in the bush. There's very little infrastructure, so the more rural Hesperites have taken up domestication and riding of native animals to get around safely. Very little in the way of government or law enforcement in the less settled areas of the moon, and its gained a reputation as a hideaway for criminals.
- Physical Characteristics
- It's about 8% smaller than earth as Atlas' largest moon.
- Geography & Climate
- The equatorial belt is a thousands-of-miles-wide desert all the way around, commonly called the Sear, that’s temperatures and complete lack of moisture make it uninhabitable. This means that the two living halves of the moon are quite ecologically and culturally distinct.
