Aquas

CLASSIFICATION Planet

INTEL Uninhabited and entirely covered in water, Aquas features a temperate climate, pollution-free oceans, and high biotic diversity.

Designated a nature conservation area, Aquas is home to minimal man-made structures—a scattering of tourism sites and research facilities only. Indeed, Aquas is of special interest to scientists on account of the tremendous array of sea life as well as the discovery of ancient ruins.

In shallow waters, much of the sea life centers around the planet's extensive network of coral reefs. In the depths, larger, stranger creatures prowl, some untouched by evolution for millions of years.

The sunken, crumbling ruins of a lost civilization were found buried in the seabed. Very little is known about the planet's previous inhabitants, but their ruins look similar in design to ruins found on Titania. Research has been ongoing but is currently suspended until after the war.

ASSESSMENT Conventional analysis suggests Aquas should be of little interest to the enemy. Despite this, Andross's forces have recently been sighted in the planet's vicinity, arousing suspicion and concern within the Corneria Defense Force. The Defense Force maintains no permanent presence on Aquas due to its lack of immediate strategic value, but covert reconnaissance to the water planet is highly recommended should the resources for such a mission become available.
