Saturn



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

Until the present
Saturn is known to the astronomers of the late Twentieth Century as a Jovian gas giant. The scientific consensus of today envisions it as a world of clouds and rings.

During XXII Century
When the Stranger travelled in time to this age, Saturn was located at coordinates 2,8,5. The planet could be visited flying on a rocket ship, which can be acquired from the post-apocalyptic Soviet settlement of Pirates Harbour.

The Saturnian surface of Minax's twenty-second century was this Saturn was host to oceans and continents, with a distinct geological pattern of circular protrusions and islands embellishing its landscape. In spite of this hospitable terrain, Saturn offered no evidence of intelligent life, and the only Saturnians the Stranger was able to encounter were trees, grasses and swamp plants.

It is unknown whether Saturn returned to its gaseous state following the disappearance of Time Doors, although it seems likely.
