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.

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.
