Backstory: [spoiler]The planet Limnos is an ocean world with emerald oceans that is tidally locked to its parent star, which they call Demos. Limnos has no moons. The planet's surface area is split into 19 nations : Zyga, Lanium, Azic, Norälp, Nathua, Jovius, Sigente, Caani, Servo, Jovius, Loma, Mira, Syco, Benzo, Audom, Ebat, Ataden, Zerzistan and Thörke (shown on map). The species (known as "Limnians") entire civilization is set underwater, no Limnian can survive outside of the water without an environment suit. There are several temporary bases on the small, white sandy islands.

Limnos is a very large planet, being 26 761 km in diameter, about twice the Earth's diameter. The planet's mass is also 7.3 times larger, however, the atmospheric pressure is only 0.68 atm. and the gravity is 1.66 g. The planet orbits its star (Demos, a K1V star) in 130 days. Mean temperature is 301 kelvin.

The planet's system contains 7 planets, 2 of which have life: Mynoat, a hot desert with 3 moons, Yessel, a warm gas giant with 24 moons, Limnos (ocean), Nabuscant, a cold ice giant with 17 moons, Gerbeya, a cold selena with 2 moons, Felumino, a cold gas giant with 39 moons and Canella, a cold desert... with unicellar life! However, the Limnians don't know this life exists (yet).

They have already developed some prototype spacecraft and shuttles, and have even sent probes to Nabuscant, Yessel, Mynoat, Gerbeya and Felumino.

The first signs of life on Limnos dates back to almost 6 billion years ago. Life was confirmed to be put on Limnos by an asteroid or comet 1/5 the size the of the planet. During that time, the planet was still rocky and only had little lakes, spread across the surface. Life on Limnos has evolved very slowly, as the first modern Limnians lived 'only' 25 000 years ago. The planet is said to have ever been hit by an even larger water-ice comet, and the impact of the comet could have caused it to melt flooding the entire planet in oceans. The night part of it froze, since the planet is tidally locked. There is not much life outside of the ocean on this planet.

Limnians are curious beings who wonder about the mysteries of the universe and their place in it, and their solar system which they haven't even fully explored yet. The Limnian civilization has known a long peaceful era of over 1000 years long since today. Not much war has ever been on the planet after that. Science and technology is rapidly advancing on the planet since about 70 years ago. Limnians are somewhat humanoid, yet they are extremely different (they are taller because of the gravity, have tails, and usually blue, sometimes red or green).[/spoiler]
