Editing Solaris VII (section)

== The Planet itself ==

Solaris VII hangs in the Solaris system, which happens to sit on the border of the [[Free Worlds League]] and the [[Lyran Commonwealth]]. It is a rainy, water-rich world with only two continents; Greyland and Equatus. Greyland is the larger continent, with the planetary capital, Solaris City, stamped right in the middle. It is the constantly rain-slicked beating heart of the entire world's operations and events, with most of its prospective Champions and event coordinating happening right here. It also features a litany of tourist attractions based around the BattleMech and the many, many, many ways you can get in on the fun of the planet's feature attraction. Equatus in contrast, is a mountainous, arid place where people are content to live their lives as simple farm folk, but are often a place where you can enjoy far more personal, grittier competition. 

Solaris sits in frontier space for both of the empires it borders, which has placed it in an unusual situation; both will jockey for ownership of it, but they'll never actually put too much restriction or control over the planet. This is a good thing for its ruling powers, because that might mean it would interrupt Solaris' biggest attraction; the Games.
