The '''Cano system''' is a four-planet star system located in the [[United Empire of Earth]] (UEE). The only inhabited planet, Carteyna (Cano II), is an ocean planet tidally locked to its star. Humans have attempted to terraform the planet multiple times; however, all attempts have been unsuccessful. Carteyna was placed under the [[Fair Chance Act]] in 2902, when life was discovered developing in its deep oceans. The current inhabitants of the planet were consolidated into a single arcology to avoid damaging to environment. Terraforming attempts are now outlawed.

Cano is a G-type main sequence star.

This tidally locked mesoplanet rapidly orbits the central star.

For centuries, geoengineers tried to terraform this ocean planet with little success due to the difficulty in converting its relatively thick atmosphere. However, all attempts were halted when microscopic organisms were discovered deep in the water and Carteyna was placed under the [[Fair Chance Act]]. Seeking to protect the indigenous life form, previously existing planetary settlements have been allowed to remain and are strictly regulated.
