Venus

Venus is the second planet from Sol. It was discovered in 1610 by the Italian astronomer Galileo Galilei. On 22 October 1977 the First Soviet Union landed Venera 7 on Venus making it the first man-made object to land on a planet other than Earth. Manned missions and colonial development began in 2042 and ended in 2066 with the outbreak of the Third World War. Today Venus is under the control of the Fourth German Reich.

Society and Culture:
Although the surface of Venus is almost entirely terraformed most of the High Atmosphere Habitats, sometimes called floating cities, from the early days of colonization are still populated and expanding. Because of the prevalence of 'floating cities' the Venusian population has had more avenues of expansion than the populations of other worlds, because of this geofronts on Venus are relatively few in number.

Trivia:
Before Venus was terraformed the atmosphere as so thick that humans born on Venus developed extraordinary lung muscles. Back on Earth and under the right circumstances these people could accelerate a modified blow dart to Mach 1. Other Venusians, such as Mikkel Ingebretsen, combined this lung strength with trained lung capacity and could hold their breath for longer than an hour.
