Radonitsa Colony (ラドニッツァ・コロニー Radonittsu~a Koronī?) is a location featured in the mobile game Mobile Suit Gundam IRON-BLOODED ORPHANS Urdr-Hunt.
Overview[]
A colony that was deployed to Venus during the terraforming projects before the Calamity War. Radonitsa Colony is in an extremely low orbit, only 50 kilometers above the surface of Venus, kept aloft by the planet's extremely dense atmosphere. Condensed carbon dioxide from the Venusian atmosphere was exported to Mars to improve their lacking atmosphere, but when the Martian Terraforming Project became a success, the more difficult development of Venus stalled and was gradually forgotten about. and many of the Ariadne routes to the planet were lost during the war.
With no economy, the colonies at Venus were transferred to the control of Gjallarhorn, who repurposed the lower levels into penal colonies for felons. The top level of the colony's residential area has an extensive network of canals and Venetian-inspired architecture, however many of its buildings are in a state of disrepair because the colony has a very low population. The few remaining residents scrape by with jobs maintaining the colony, though the population is steadily declining. It is administered by Afam Equipment, whose young master, Wistario Afam, dreams of revitalizing the colony with tourism.
