Orochi

Orochi is roughly the same size as Typhon, but a direct 180 in all other respects- 98% of the planet is water, with only 2% of it having land, most of which is too small to be arable. The largest landmass holds the planet's only remaining starport, and most of its surface agriculture. Though it does not suffer Kessler Syndrome the same way Typhon does, Orochi has other problems- the surface air is barely fit to breathe, being thin and more nitrogen rich than anything else. And its twin moons, both locked into a high speed equatorial orbit, create a tremendous amount of EM interference past fifteen kilometers in the sky, forcing any ships that wish to land or take off to make a best guess and hope they don't run into storm turbulence. Furthermore, the tidal cycle is quite violent, with the equatorial strip having seasonal waves that can reach almost a full kilometer in height, with the largest ones on record going as high as two. But without any land to crash into, the waves just roll around the whole planet before collapsing in on themselves and settling back into regular turbulent waves. Aside from the largest 'continent' in the northern hemisphere, the only place for people to really live is under the waves.

There are only a few real 'cities' on Orochi because of the difficulties in building up a good-sized set of pressure domes to house substantial populations, most settlements are barely town-sized as a result. Food and water are plentiful enough, with electrolysis used to create breathable oxygen and hydrogen for fuel cells. Most of the planet is saltwater, but there are many freshwater 'boils' that appear in the oceans around calderas where people harvest fresh water to supplement desalination plants. Orochi lacks many rich surface deposits of precious metals, and as such relies heavily on deep mining operations- many of which are so close to the mantle that drone technology must be used to access it. Metals, as such, are the main form of currency on the planet, with varying degrees of value between Iron (the least valuable), Nickel, Copper, and Platinum (the most valuable) which are used to create 'Chits'- strips of metals about the size of a stick of gum traded in lieu of credits. Strip Chits are the smallest denominations, while Ingot Chits are the largest.

Like Typhon, Orochi is chock full of dangerous megafauna and more than a little megaflora which isn't much better. And the deeper one goes, the larger things seem to get. Only the desperate, the criminal, and the fortune-hungry dare to live past the Abyssopelagic zone. Unlike Typhon (and Fafnir for that matter) there are no major governmental bodies on Orochi, all cities and towns are separate and individual. They are, however, better connected, as deep sea cables are easier to lay and keep safe from the roving wildlife than on either of the other habitable worlds, so there's a better local communication grid.

Vehicles built on Orochi are automatically given Sealed Environments and Environment, Water fittings without taking up any Mass or Power. Vehicles with 0 Hard Points are treated as having 1.
