Uranus



Uranus is a planet within the Terran Solar System. In Ultima II it is possible to visit Uranus in the year 2112 A.D. using a rocket ship.

Until the present
In modern astronomy, Uranus is an ammonia and methane riddled ice giant, a cold, ringed world void of humanoid life.

During XXII Century
When the Stranger travelled in time to this age, Uranus was located at coordinates 9,4,6. The planet could be visited flying on a rocket ship, which can be acquired from the post-apocalyptic Soviet settlement of Pirates Harbour.

Minax's Uranus was a densely forested world, with small patches of swampland and mountains appearing occasionally amid its thick woodlands. Known to Earth's people to be inhabited at the time, Uranus was home to the strange village of New Jester, which was inhabited by a race of Uranian jesters known to swarm around any who entered their domicile, sometimes forcing their targets into inescapable positions in which they would die of starvation or exposure. A signpost could also be found in the southeastern quadrant of the planetscape.

It is unknown whether Uranus became again a gas planet once the Time Doors disappeared, but it seems probable.
