Falias
"Helium-3 might have been the big draw for colonizing Parime, but the simple truth is that it would've never happened without Falias. Not just for the luxury of solid ground and a little gravity, but because there's enough frozen water to keep the colonies growing for centuries without trouble.It's no surprise that the FUC are fighting tooth and nail to keep Falias their property and theirs alone: End of the day, it's their monopoly on water that keeps them in power, their military only matters as far as defending that monopoly."
"It's not an inhospitable hellscape, you can walk out on the surface with a mask and a few layers of heated clothing, but it's hardly a shirtsleeve enviroment either. It's freezing, the air's thick and unbreathable, and the upper atmosphere's not up to the task of keeping its inhabitants free from UV rads. It's the sort of cold, miserable place that the locals would call 'character building'. Anywhere else in Union space, it's the sort of place you'd only live if you grew up there, a solid 'Maybe' if you're desperate to dissapear. But over here in Parime? It's prime real-estate. All relative, eh?"
Geography
Falias is the largest and outermost moon of Parime, and is both the earliest colonized location within the system and the primary territory of the FUC. Falias's composition is primarily mineral-rich rock and water-ice, the latter of which makes it an especially important element of system-wide infrastructure. As with Loum, Falias posesses an unusually defense core which gives is an unsually high gravitational pull, at 7.796 m/s, suitable for long-term human habitation. The surface-atmosphere is composed of 95% nitrogen, 2.7% oxygen, 1.2% Hydrogen and 1.1% methane, with an average pressure of 1.45 atm and an average surface-temperature of -61C.
