Barawatten
(70 Ophiuchi II-1)
Current Allegiance: Keter

Europan type moon of Garell, a major gas giant.

Became a colony of European tweaks, who installed the extensive ice transportation system of the colony. During the late federation the otherwise unremarkable colony suddenly, for complex taxation reasons, became a haven of high finance, terraforming funding and space engineering. The golden days lasted for nearly two centuries before fading. Many of the Barawatten tweaks gradually came to embrace Keterism, developing many highly obscure and radical enhancements and incorporating nanotech into their bodies. In 3100 migration began into the atmosphere of Garell, and now the system is home to further cladized posthumans.
