Luna



Luna, often referred to as the Moon, is the only natural satellite of Earth. Humans began settling on Luna in 2080. Due to its still barren face, one can assume it has not been terraformed, probably a result of Luna's low gravity and lack of atmosphere. Instead, the habitats on Luna are sealed from vacuum and interconnected by tubes.

By 2492, the governing body of Luna was known as Luna Confederated States, the State of Mare Nubium being one of the said states. The Luna OCS Academy, also known as the Academy at Mare Nubium, was located here.
