Pluto
Pluto is a dwarf planet located in the Kuiper Belt, once considered the ninth planet of the Solar System. In Terra Invicta, this distant, icy world offers significant habitation potential and represents a strategic outpost at the edge of the traditional solar system.

Strategic Value
With 9 habitation sites, Pluto offers substantial colonial potential in the Kuiper Belt. Its position beyond Neptune's orbit makes it valuable for monitoring deep space and serves as a gateway to the outer solar system. Its unusual heart-shaped region (Tombaugh Regio) contains nitrogen ice that might be harvested for propellant and life support. The Pluto-Charon system effectively functions as a binary planet, providing unique gravitational dynamics.
