Deneb Colony
The Deneb Colony in the Delta Capricorni system. It is on the largest moon orbiting Deneb c, which is a gas giant. The planet is far enough away from Deneb c to not be tidally locked, though it does have an eccentric orbit that occasionally brings the moon much closer to the planet.
Deneb colony has a rotational period of 26.7 hours, and orbits Deneb c once every 18.5 days. It spends a full day in the shadow of Deneb c each orbit, and the planet is in near total darkness the whole time.
Demographics
Deneb is primarily human, at over 90% of it's population. The humans are from several home worlds, though most are from Earth a large percentage is from Cor Caroli. The rest of the population is made up of aliens. The Kalians are the only race to have a significant presence at 5% of the population.
Government
Independent local democracy.
Assets
The moon that the colony is on has some large underground water sources. A few lakes, and a small sea make up the surface water. The moon is rich in minerals and metals. It has a few mines as well.
Geography
A lack of surface water results in much of the planet being quite arid. The sea and lakes in the northern hemisphere creates a nice biome with a variety of plants and wildlife. The southern hemisphere is mostly rocky and dry, arid, desert.
Natural Resources
Lots of metels including nickel, iron, aluminum, but most impressive is two large tungsten deposits that have been found to be mined. This is what the colony was originally built around.
