Triton

Triton

Triton is the largest moon of Neptune and the only large moon in the Solar System with a retrograde orbit. In Terra Invicta, this geologically active world offers significant habitation potential and represents the most distant major colonial opportunity in the planetary systems.

Mining Sites

Notes:

• Negative values are not a bug, the game actually sets the median to a negative value to make it incredibly unlikely for the site to have a positive mine output. But note that the actual mined amount cannot actually be negative.
• Blank values indicate that the site can never produce this resource. In contrast, 0 indicates that there is still up to 50% chance for the site to produce the resource.
• Values shown do not take into account the final capping of the Noble Metals output to just 1/2 or 1/3 of the Base Metals output.
• Top 50% Mean is the average value of the top 50% of possible rolls. It is also a much looser estimate than the median because it cannot handle edge cases such as where the mininum value is too close to the median value.

Strategic Value

With 9 habitation sites, Triton offers substantial colonial potential at the frontier of the planetary systems. Its retrograde orbit and surface features suggest it is a captured Kuiper Belt object, potentially making it rich in primordial materials and exotic resources. Its nitrogen geysers indicate ongoing geological activity and possible subsurface ocean. As the dominant moon of Neptune, Triton serves as humanity's furthest significant outpost and a gateway to the Kuiper Belt.
