Neo Terra Prime II

Neo Terra Prime II is one of the Original Planets settled by Humans within the Galaxa universe. Renowned as a utopian world and socio-economic powerhouse, Neo Terra Prime II is a living model of harmony between advanced technology and flourishing natural ecosystems. The planet is celebrated for its seamless blend of artificial infrastructure and indigenous flora and fauna, serving as a beacon for sustainable civilization throughout the Neo Terra Sector.

Overview

From its earliest days, Neo Terra Prime II was envisioned as more than a colony: it is a paradise engineered for coexistence. The entire planetary society is founded on principles of ecological stewardship, shared prosperity, and radical inclusivity for all forms of life—sentient and non-sentient alike.

Ecology and Infrastructure

Cities on Neo Terra Prime II are built to integrate with, not dominate, the surrounding environment. Skyscrapers and megastructures are designed to provide shelter and nesting grounds for native avian species. Public parks, transportation corridors, and urban amenities are purpose-built to serve both the planet’s human and non-human inhabitants.

Pacification Fields—unique technological marvels—enable natural predators, prey, and sentient species to coexist peacefully. These fields gently suppress predatory instincts, allowing complex ecological webs to remain intact without daily violence.
Food is grown and shared freely, with communal meals often attended by local fauna. There is no concept of “pest” species; all life is considered a participant in the planetary ecosystem.

Society and Culture

The culture of Neo Terra Prime II reflects its utopian ideals. Society is post-scarcity, with all material needs provided for through renewable energy, synthetic biology, and closed-loop resource management.

Reverse Carbon Footprint: The planet’s infrastructure actively absorbs more carbon than it emits, contributing to universal climate balance.
Death Rites: Upon death, all sentient life is cremated, with the nutrients and minerals returned to the environment in carefully managed cycles.
Zero Waste Ethic: No part of a fauna carcass is ever wasted; all remains are processed into useful resources or returned directly to the soil.

Notable Locations

Cosmic Wench: The most popular bar on the planet, operated by the charismatic Squat Lollipop. A favorite haunt for travelers, diplomats, and locals, the Cosmic Wench is famous for its ever-changing decor, rare liquors, and its role as an unofficial neutral ground for sector politics.
Urban Wildlife Preserves: Massive sanctuaries woven through city districts, providing habitat for endangered species and research opportunities for xenobiologists.
Community Plazas: Shared spaces where humans and other species gather for meals, celebrations, and cultural festivals.

Notable Residents

Bobby Goodbottoms: Legendary protector and local hero, bodyguard to Lady Aenya Tahrol.
Honey Goodbottoms: Renowned for her efforts in environmental education and community organizing.
Squat Lollipop: Proprietor of the Cosmic Wench, famed for his extravagant hospitality and wild tales.
Aenya Tahrol: Youngest matriarch of the Tahrol Family, regional diplomat and symbol of the planet’s progressive leadership.

Government and Economy

Neo Terra Prime II operates under a council-based governance, with representatives chosen from across the planet’s diverse biomes and population centers. Decision-making is collaborative, with consensus the preferred model, ensuring ecological and social considerations are balanced.

The economy is resource-sharing and post-scarcity, with no formal currency for basic needs. High art, rare goods, and unique experiences are occasionally bartered or gifted, emphasizing communal well-being over accumulation of wealth.

Technology and Sustainability

Artificial Infrastructure: All human-made structures are designed to enhance, rather than replace, local ecosystems.
Integrated Amenities: Water features, green roofs, and modular gardens are accessible to all species.
Civic AI: Advanced planetary AIs coordinate ecological health, energy flow, and public services.

Death, Legacy, and Renewal

Death is not an end, but a return. Cremated remains nourish the land; ancestral memory is celebrated in festivals and communal storytelling. Legacies are measured not by personal gain, but by lasting contributions to planetary health and harmony.

Trivia

Neo Terra Prime II’s wildlife has been known to “attend” concerts, with native songbirds frequently joining in with local orchestras.
The Cosmic Wench is rumored to have once hosted a peace summit between rival factions, disguised as a drinking contest.
Each citizen, regardless of species, is assigned a “life garden” upon birth—a patch of living earth whose health is tied to their own.
There are no prisons; restorative justice and ecological service are preferred methods of reconciliation.
