Tethys

 Tethys is a planet in the Prime Reality, the homeworld of Ground Squadron and Sting Squad.

Description
Tethys is smaller than Earth, but like it, has several different environments. It contains two major continents, Ephano and Creneis, both of which are bisected by the equator and thus mostly variations on tropical jungle, although nations to the extreme north or south, such as the Sao Islands and Prosper, are rocky and cold.

The planet contains two primary species, Mirandans and Creneisians. Mirandans have batlike wings protruding from their backs, while Creneisians are basically human-looking, but both are oviparous, and are born with spurs on their big toes used to help them hatch. Unlike Earth, insects tend to be very large, while mammals and birds are small.

History
Approximately two hundred years ago, almost half of Tethys was united into the Creneisian Empire, containing the Sao Islands (southern, rocky, fishing industry), Nesea (equatorial, grasslands, textile industry), Prosper (northern, mountainous, ore industry), Rinoe (semi-submerged, agriculture and trade, only Creneisian nation on Ephano), and Kastalia (technological giant and capital). Creneis is polytheistic.

Miranda is the primary homeland of Mirandans (although, like Indians on Earth, the term is a generalization), a jungle nation composed of loose confederations of tribes. The other two nations are Basti, a large island currently at war with Rinoe, and Riel, a commonwealth and the only nation Creneis will acknowledge as civilized.
