The planet was brilliant blue and green, covered with swirls of clouds. Yet instead of grand continents, there were a few just big enough to be deserving of the name. Smatterings of smaller islands dotted the oceans, though plenty of them were at least the size of Great Britain. A planet of archipelagos. Its moon was even a similar size, creating tides in those alien seas. It had oxygen and rich biodiversity in the early stages of life, well enough established to have stable elemental cycles that could sustain agriculture. Humans could theoretically live there.
