Luca

Luca the biggest moon orbiting planet Eradeux in the HD 70642 System, used by Humans to grow larger-than-average crops. It was named after Luca Eradeux, one of the forefathers of the aristocratic Eradeux family's colonisation of the world in the 2300's.

Luca is covered in streams, rivers and vast fields of grass, thin sparse forests transplanted from Earth and Eradeux and rich muddy areas, on which sit partly-automated farms

However the moon wasn't always as fertile as it is today, being a carbon dioxide-covered mud ball and it needed work to provide fertility to the dead and dry soil.

If it wasn't for the fact that the Eradeux descended from a verity of overly-rich estates from France, finding the money to terraform the moon, the Eradeux would have never made Luca the world it is today.

Being a privet group the Eradeux constructed their own technologies over the years, specifically a nutrient-rich artificial soil, known as the Eradeux Compound (ExC5), which would both aid plant growth as well as stimulate local soil to reach its full potential.

The process was long and took over 60 years, but eventually the world became so rich, it provided the Eradeux with a powerful business tool in trade; Food from Luca is known to be the best in the Terran Commonwealth and the Eradeux Compound as well as ExC5-enriched soil is sold across the Terran Sector and even to alien customers outside of the Commonwealth.

Today Luca is famous for growing some of the largest vegetables and fruits in the sector because of the soil and low gravity, and completely without the aid of genetic engineering.

The Eradeux use Luca in a mostly private fashion, but like their planet, have recently began to allow visitors.

As most of the farming is automated, there are very few Humans born and raised on Luca, but permanent residents do exist and are known as Lucanux. They are noted to be tall and thin due to the moon's lighter gravity, but the Eradeux make sure the Lucanux experience the Earth-like gravity of their planet and provide muscular enhancements. The Lucanux see themselves as beings of beauty and wealth, embracing their frail appearance, which many Eradeux find a little strange and unhealthy.
