Verraus

Verraus is a fictional terrestrial planet that serves as a setting in several science fiction works. In these stories it is typically depicted as a world with a breathable atmosphere and a temperate climate, hosting diverse biomes and prominent coastlines. The surface features commonly described include two large continental masses connected by archipelagos, extensive river networks, mountain ranges, and temperate forests. While depictions vary, Verraus is often portrayed as having Earth-like gravity and a dynamic climate with seasonal cycles.

The name Verraus first appears in late 21st-century speculative fiction and is used across different authors and media, without a single canonical origin. As a result, the planet’s exact geography, ecology, and history differ from work to work, though many narratives engage themes of exploration, colonization, and environmental stewardship.

In fiction, Verraus supports a range of societies, from indigenous populations and isolated communities to human colonies and spacefaring settlements. Technological development is similarly varied, with some stories emphasizing agrarian life and others focusing on advanced infrastructure, planetary governance, and interstellar trade. Environmental and ethical issues—such as resource extraction, habitat preservation, and indigenous rights—are recurring motifs.

Verraus has appeared in novels, role-playing games, and digital media, where it is used to explore planetary-scale storytelling and world-building. The lack of a single canonical depiction allows writers to reinterpret its geography and history across different stories.
