Uranus

Uranus, named after the Roman personification of the sky, is the seventh planet in the Sol system. Aside from a few harvest satellites in orbit taking in the water and hydrogen from the atmosphere, there is little interest of the gas giant. However, much like Neptune, Uranus 'might' be a candidate for a long-term terraforming endeavor.
Uranus is made of water, methane, and ammonia fluids above a small rocky core. Its atmosphere is made of hydrogen and helium like Jupiter and Saturn, but it also has methane. Water is often harvested and purified for drinking back on Earth and other colonized worlds. The harvested water is also used in the terraforming of new worlds to increase habitability. The hydrogen collected from Uranus' atmosphere is used as a fuel source for many vehicle engines.
