SOLAR EXPLORER
Uranus
Here on Uranus, you'll find friendly and warm people, despite the coldness of their environment. A massive collision caused the planet to rotate and now it spins on a 98° vertical axis. This means that the north and south poles lie near where the equator is on Earth. During its orbit, one or both of its poles directly face the Sun making for some crazy long seasons! 21 years of winter and 21 years of summer. Proud to have centuries of cross country skiing experience, Uranians developed a strong and empowering survival culture. There is no better place to enjoy a winter getaway from the rough and tumble life of an adventurer. From the long snowy slopes in the east, the ice fishing in the western shelf, or even the methane fields in the south, activities and games are seemingly endless! It’s easy to lose track of time on this planet. However, under the icy surface, there are mysteries and artifacts to discover in the vibrantly blue ice caves. You’ll need all of your wits, courage, and of course a trusty pickaxe to get in and out of the snow banks before the next storm.

Normal fishing? Please, why not go space ice fishing! This unique fishing pole can withstand pressure from even the most aggressive sub nautical organisms. The largest creature ever captured with this fishing pole was a 10,000 year old leviathan who slept under the ocean floor. It was promptly released back into the water after it began chanting curses in an unknown tongue.

How many times have you been trapped beneath a 10 ton glacier with no hope of escape? Well, say goodbye to those days with the new multi headed pickaxe, available only on Uranus. This particular one was given to you after rescuing its previous owner from a snow storm. Batteries not included.

With winters often plunging below -370°F, the inhabitants of Uranus wear temperature controlling suits. This small attachment clips to the top of your helmet and, when activated, will produce an invisible body shield. It can be turned to any chosen temperature and will self regulate comfortable air flow.
