The images showed Planet B36's captivating scenery; it was fully developed with everything from beaches to forest treehouses and natural oxygen bars.
"Starting the year before last, Planet B36 began pivoting to tourism. Its selling point was the planet's stability and relaxing environment."
For a minor planet to boast such features—a near-zero Xenobeast Tide outbreak rate, safety, and low prices—was a major draw for many people.
"I researched their recommended tourist spots. The entire tourism zone has been zoned to this area," Nathan Lockwood said, his finger pointing to the top-right corner of a holographic miniature of Planet B36 that appeared before Zoe Pierce. "A significant portion of the residential area is also nearby."
