What you know
Book 2: Judas Unchained
- Ch 9Illuminatus hosts ultra-discreet clinics offering baseline DNA modification and is not the safest place in the Commonwealth.
- Ch 10Its land glows aquamarine from bioluminescent life; CST's explorers first mistook it for a planet-wide high-tech city two hundred years ago.
- Ch 10Commonwealth Council forbids clearing its forests and jungles; Tridelta City is one of the few non-mountain areas without trees.
- Ch 10Illuminatus has bioluminescent jungle vegetation and no animals bigger than insects; Tridelta's city rules ban light pollution above ten meters.
- Ch 10Illuminatus's constitution forbids interference with its jungles; Illuminatus plants cannot grow elsewhere because they depend on complex soil bacteria.
- Ch 11Illuminatus makes only small high-technology goods and imports all food through its marshaling yard; it would suffer badly if cut off.
