Titan

The largest of the many moons of Zeus, Titan was the jewel in the gas giants crown.    Covered in oceans made from liquid methane, maintained by a process lost during the fall of humanity, it would technically fall under the label of an oceanic planet.    There is almost no land above sea-level, and what exists is too small to support any sort of settlement.    Humanities solution?   Arcologies.    Once a theoretical solution to settlement building, they were massive domed cities floating on the waves, built to withstand the monsoon-like weather that regularly crosses the planet. During the golden age, they housed the planet's population and industry.   Now, like most cities that humanity left behind, they're floating graves. Mausoleums of the past. Glittering

Ecosystem

The wildlife on the planet is hard to notice, from the get-go. No terrestrial land animals or aerial life to speak of. Perhaps some form of airborne single-celled life, no one has take the time to try and take stock.    Everything that does live on the planet, are aquatic species if they can even be called that, considering they aren't living in water. Fish, whales, sharks, the whole nine yards. various species of deep-sea plant life, also modified and evolved to live within a liquid methane ocean.    Impressively, it doesn't seem to have taken the hostile edge that earth's natural habitats have, for some indiscernible reason. Perhaps they simply didn't have a reason to rake their claws and gnash their teeth when humanity came apart at the seams.
