Originally a dismal, rain-soaked, and geologically unstable planet, Risa | Originally a dismal, rain-soaked, and geologically unstable planet, Risa suffered through years of tectonic activity resulted in the planet's surface being fragmented into ten small continents, all about the same size, and all located around the equator. However, the planet was transformed by the native Risians with a technologically sophisticated weather control network that provided almost-constantly desirable weather, as well as seismic regulators to eliminate the geological instabilities. The planet has two very small ice caps which gave it a hint of natural coldness. | ||
By at least the mid-22nd century, Risa became known for its beautiful tropical resorts and abundance of pristine beaches, making it a popular tourist destination. | |||
