Neos Atlantis is UEG-controlled planet located in an ambiguous zone between Earth's inner and outer colonies. It is a high-security world surrounded by orbital maintenance docks that only service United Nations Space Command vessels. These installations employ close to 100,000 civilian technicians.[1] Recreational facilities onboard are reserved for the sole use of naval personnel, due to security concerns. One of the most notable landmarks on the planet's surface is the Theran Crown, a gloomy, spire-studded cryovolcano ringed by green ice cliffs which is easily visible from orbit.

On October 14, 2553, an Office of Naval Intelligence Ferret team consisting of Veta Lopis, Mark-G313, Olivia-G291, and Ash-G-099 were conducting a training exercise on one of the orbital installations, which turned into a fight for their lives after they came under fire from multiple hostiles ostensibly under the direction of Dark Moon Enterprises

Trivia

  • "Neos Atlantis" means "Young Atlantis" in Greek. The plant is likely named after Atlantis, a fictional island from Greek legend.
  • The green-colored ice surrounding the Theran Crown could indicate the presence of algae, and thus life, on the planet. The discoloration could also be due to other impurities, such as sediments or air bubbles.
