	'''Yeddo''' is the fourth planet from the orange class K star [[Meiji system\|Meiji]], which is about 0.8 times the mass of Earth's sun. In the ancient past, almost the entire planet was covered in one large city - After the fall of the [[Valerian Empire]], many of these buildings fell into disarray, with the least polluted areas being reclaimed by nature. Despite this, the [[Federation of Stellar Systems]] was able to form a civilization here, getting its jumpstart from the wealth of Valerian paleotechnology left behind in the area. As a result, Yeddo has historically been home to the leading innovators on virtual reality technology and faster-than-light communication.

	Though slightly smaller in diameter and denser in mass, Yeddo is comparable to the size of Earth. It has one large moon named Ezo which is surrounded by a faint ring system comprised of ancient space junk. Though it was found well within the habitable zone, little more than microbes were in the native ecosystem when the planet was first settled. It was terraformed into a world more suitable for humans over thousands of years in an effort to create an Earth-like homeworld in another star system. To early spacefaring humans, Yeddo was considered a better long term planetary settlement than either Mars or Venus due to its remarkable similarity to Earth, so much so that after the [[Blackout]] humanity began to believe that Yeddo was actually their original homeworld. This theory was only recently called into question with the discovery of several species of anaerobic bacteria that had a radically different DNA structure than humans.

 Yeddo's moon contains numerous servers that serve as communication relays. They aid in the large bandwidths required to transmit virtual reality instances across the galaxy.

 The atmosphere was not originally breathable by humans. Because of the slow process of terraforming and the desperation to settle down a habitable world in large droves at the time (due to much of humanity experiencing bone mass loss as a result of time spent in zero gravity environments), Yeddo quickly underwent aggressive urbanization. Nearly the entire planet became covered in sprawling cities. The buildings served as makeshift biodomes until the planet's atmosphere was made to be fully breathable by humans with oxygen levels comprising approximately 22% of the atmosphere. This was done by introducing Earth native plant life, mostly lichens and mosses as they were hardier and more adaptable to the native ecosystem than other types of plants.

Some of Yeddo's older structures have become part of the landscape. Old skyscrapers that are abandoned become home to a variety of different species of birds and small mammals.
			==Geography==
			Yeddo has two large continents. The largest of the two is a supercontinent often called Northern Yeddo or mainland Yeddo. While the inland consists mostly of deserts and mountains, the coastlines are tropical jungles, marshes and wetlands.

			The southern continent is approximately one eighth the size of the mainland and features a similar geography as the north, albeit with different species that evolved in relative isolation. Additionally, as it is located south of the equator, it experiences opposite seasons to that of the north.

			Many smaller islands and archipelagos dot the rest of the oceans.
	==Ecosystem==		==Ecosystem==
	Yeddo was terraformed in the distant past to be a habitable planet for humanity. The majority of life on the planet was imported from Earth, but over thousands of years, some animals evolved into different species to adjust to Yeddo's different environment.

	To the southeast of Midori Gardens is Miranga Jungle, a former Valerian megacity now overgrown with vegetation to the point where the original skyscrapers appear as pillars of green growth connected by vines. The local population is mostly made of [[Simian]]s who are easily adept to climbing and navigating the area vertically.

			===''MRS Emissary''===
			The ''MRS Emissary'' is a Merinian ship located in the ocean west of Port Oraulan. It is a seafaring colony of the Kingdom of Merin. Unlike most of Merin's ships which are mostly constructed for military purposes, the Emissary is a non-combat vessel with the intent of it being a tourist destination. Visitors can enjoy authentic Merinian culture here while a number of Merinian residents also live here.

	*Deathvenom cobra - A highly venomous species of king cobra that can spit venom at a distance. A single bite can kill someone in less than 15 minutes if left untreated. The venom is also used in a variety of medicinal uses as well as forms of poison.		*Deathvenom cobra - A highly venomous species of king cobra that can spit venom at a distance.

			*Giant bobbit worm - A seafaring ambush predator that lives in coral reefs around the equator. While its normal prey consists of large fish and sharks, it is large enough to grab humans, so extreme caution must be taken when exploring the oceans of Yeddo.

	On Yeddo's north pole is an archipelago of frozen islands. It was once a much larger landmass thousands of years ago, but has since broken up due to the planet's terraformation attempts in the past. The area is incredibly remote though the town of Nordran has a sizeable population. In an isolated region, various strains of Rampant viruses are kept under close guard. Supposedly, the only reason they haven't been eradicated yet is to study them in the event of future outbreaks.		On Yeddo's north pole is an archipelago of frozen islands.

	The Geothermal Engine is an extensive undeground complex extending throughout most of the planet's deeper subterranean regions. Built out of the planet's deep caverns, it is comprised of a series of spacious maintenance tunnels filled with extensive Valerian machinery often situated near underground volcanoes and lava tunnels. While the Valerian Empire still inhabited the planet, they used the Geothermal Engine to harvest heat from the planet's core to turn it into energy. Because most of the area is in disrepair, this has limited the capabilities of restoring power to other ruined structures on the surface. After years of remaining abandoned by its owners, these structures serve mostly as hideouts for pirates and black market businesses. Many refugees that became displaced during the Virtual Wars had fled to the Geothermal Engine to form makeshift settlements.
