Planet Reason

Planet Reason

Third planet in the Pavonis system (Delta Pavonis)

Colonized in 2158 by a group called Atheists of Terra. 160,000 colonists arrived safely and founded Nietsche Town.

The planet was a Gardenworld Class 1 D.

The 1D classification was given due to several predatory life forms that were extemely dangerous to humans. Today all but a small number of these (see Predators of Reason ) life forms survive in special enclosed habitats and in Zoos.

The planet economy developed around Soil manufacturing, compost , rendering plants and industries that use the products of rendering plants. (Such as cosmetics, animal food, protein etc)

Another major industry is the "Religion of Atheism" The Center of Atheism and Reason is located in Nietsche City with several convention centers and year round lectures and conferences.

There is a Class A space port at the North Pole region of the planet (Port Reason ) Several space bus lines reach the planet daily.

The planet has a population of 3.5 Billion and serves as a traffic hub for the Pavionis System.

The planet is "in"famous for the "Stinky" continent. (Where the first Rendering plants were located.)
