Greenshift (24 page)

This world was terraformed to
compete with Tampa Three as the optimal planet. Socialites left it to the
Armadans because they believed its potential wasn’t as high as Tampa Three, but
now Yurai’s size and wealth is rivaled only by Tampa Quad.

The most populated planet in the
system, Tampa Quad is the center of government and commerce. As the largest
moon, Tampa Quad boasts more inhabitants per square foot than any other, while
still maintaining as much wild space as Tampa One.

Deleine was the newest planet to
be terraformed, mainly so that workers could be close to the plethora of
uranium, iridium, and boxite mines there. The extensive mining has caused
health issues, especially among the less genetically diverse Socialites.
