abstract
| - Terronia's outer surface is divided into roughly two dozen tectonic plates that gradually move across the surface over periods of millions of GY. About 59% of the surface is covered with oceans of varying composition, the remainder consisting of ten continents and several chains of islands. Both the mineral resources of the planet, as well as the various chemical and biological products of the biosphere, constitute the wealth of Terronia as an interstellar body. This wealth has supported the planet's population and after the advent of space flight began to enter into interplanetary trade patterns. The inhabitants are grouped into sixteen regional divisions, which interact through travel, trade and politics. Various cultures have developed many views of the planet, including early personifications as a deity by the first Terronians, to contemporary views of the planet as a great center for culture, technology, academics and entertainment. Terronia is a member planet of the Interstellar Dominion, where it is considered one of the core systems.
