Pelagos — Planetary Definition
The water world rotated in layered shades of blue — not a single color, but a living spectrum. Deep regions fell into near-black indigo while broad currents of turquoise and emerald traced slow movements across the surface like veins beneath translucent skin. Endless storm spirals turned along the equator, lightning flickering within their cloud walls, yet between those tempests entire oceans lay smooth as glass. At certain angles the world flashed silver instead of blue, and a pale azure haze clung to its edge, bending light into faint halos that made the planet seem to breathe.
Then geometry interrupted the natural curve. A vast artificial platform stretched across the water in straight, deliberate lines — modular segments joined by bridges, its disciplined grid lights forming a second constellation on the night side. Storms bent around it, shadows shifted beneath it, and faint bioluminescent streaks shimmered along the dark seas. Pelagos was not empty; it was simply too vast to reveal its life all at once.
Pelagos has two small moons: Keryn and Vael. The larger and closer moon, Keryn, completes a rapid orbit of Pelagos every ten hours, while the smaller, more distant Vael circles the water world every thirty hours. Both bodies are irregular in shape and widely believed to be captured asteroids, their uneven silhouettes occasionally casting brief, wandering shadows across Pelagos’s vast oceans.
