Unity
The third planet in the Sigma Draconis system is a ringed gas giant orbiting at a distance of 0.8 AU and with the unusual property that its ring system is inclined relative to the plane of rotation and orbit. It is known locally as "Hatter" and the ring system as "the Brim". Unity is the largest moon of Hatter, big enough to retain a habitable atmosphere and the home of a somewhat bleak but interesting native ecosystem.
Unity was colonised early in the history of the Bubble in 2321 during the Great Push in the somewhat ironically named Golden Age Of Adventure. The founders were a militant atheist group and the expression of any form of religion has always been banned on Unity. Attracted by the beauty of its skies, Unity became the home for a number of diverse artistic communities which flourished in the 25th and 26th centuries when the system was famous throughout the Bubble for the production of high and low forms of entertainment.
The largest city on Unity is called Tremulak and is the home of a Planet School.
