Piageta

Piageta is a fictional planet used in science fiction and world-building materials. It is described as a temperate terrestrial world with extensive coastlines, a diverse biosphere, and a long-standing history of interplanetary contact. The name appears in multiple works, with minor variations in its etymology, but generally evokes light and water.

Piageta orbits a cool yellow-orange star at a distance that yields a year close to one terrestrial year. The planet has a day length of about 23.5 hours and an axial tilt of roughly 18 degrees, producing seasonal change. About 70 percent of the surface is ocean, with several large archipelagos surrounding a central continental region. The terrain ranges from temperate forests to snow-capped mountains, with active but modest volcanism along rift zones.

The biosphere includes both familiar and invented taxa. Dominant flora comprises broadleaf forests and mangal-type wetlands, with Neridia trees and photoluminescent fungi representing some distinctive genera. Fauna combines terrestrial and marine forms, including herbivorous megafauna adapted to island chains and agile predators that navigate coastal networks.

Inhabitants, often called Piagetans, feature a maritime, trade-oriented culture. Two principal civilizations—the coastal city-states and the highland agrarian confederacy—maintain regular contact and exchange, shaping politics, technology, and art. The planet is a common setting for exploration narratives, colonial diplomacy, and environmental storytelling in its fictional universe.

Piageta has appeared in various novels, game supplement books, and media adaptations, serving as a backdrop for scientific speculation and cultural interaction in speculative fiction.
