Venetia

Venetia is the home planet of the Venetians. It is largely mountainous, with grassy planes and forests of bio luminescent trees dotting the planet's topography.

The planet has one large ocean that surrounds a mega continent that makes up nearly all of the land on the planet, with the exception of some small islands, none of which are more than a square kilometer in area.

The planet is littered with small to medium lakes (compared to lakes of other planets). These lakes form the main groundwork for the native Venetians temples.

The Venetians live mainly on cities floating in the air over land or sea. These cities are held up by gravity wells supported by a currently unexplained gravitational anomaly within the planet, allowing for the building of structures in mid air, as well as the floating up to these structures, albeit an uncertain journey up. This gravitational anomaly has no affect on things built anywhere but above certain affected lakes.

The origin of these floating cities is easily accredited to the floating temples above many of the lakes of Venetia. These floating temples are the result of a Shuttles, nowadays, are the main way of getting to and from the temples. These temples are generally built out of view of any other unnatural structure to allow for the surrounding of the inhabitants by nature.

Most food is grown in laboratories, removing the necessity for livestock or crops, and most cities are nearly or totally self-sufficient.

Venetia has few large animals on it's surface, however there is archaeological evidence to suggest that there once was.
