Planet 4546b, located in the outer reaches of the Ariadne Arm, is a category-3 ocean planet smaller than Earth with a breathable oxygen-nitrogen atmosphere and two moons. Approximately 1,000 years ago, the Architects, an advanced alien civilization, established research outposts to study the Kharaa Bacterium, a deadly pathogen discovered on another, unknown planet. When Kharaa broke out on 4546B, a quarantine was enacted and enforced by the Architects to prevent its spread. A quarantine platform housed a large anti-ship laser cannon, which destroyed ships coming to and fro. When the human spacecraft, the Aurora flew close by, the quarantine platform fired at it, resulting in the events of Subnautica.

no effort was put into this.
this was originally meant to test noises for polar ice caps and clouds, but then got the idea to turn it into an ocean world. from there, i just slapped on whatever made a sci-fi ocean planet.
PLEASE NOTE:
both games, Subnautica, and its sequel, state that the planet has much fewer islands. i decided to add more because, well, not everyone likes boating and it's an ocean world.
this planet and its system were created largely for the views of the two moons. i do not plan on polishing this or expanding the planet or system.
feel free to do what you want with this. steal it, revamp it, whatever.
