Kepler-22b is orbiting within the habitable zone of the Kepler-22 star 620 light-years from the Sun in the constellation of Cygnus.
It was discovered in 2011 but colonized in 2081.
Kepler-22b’s size is roughly twice that of Earth with a moderate surface temperature.
Kepler-22b is a super-Earth type planet covered in 77% by a superocean. Due to it’s dense atmosphere it has a climate very similar to the earth’s with 8 seasons. The planet moves in a highly elliptical orbit, its surface temperature variance are very high. Average surface temperature is 17°C varying from -55°C to 80°C.
Its orbital period is about 290 days, and its inclination, is approximately 90°. Because of its radical tilt, its north and south poles are alternately bathed in sunlight and darkness, for half a year each, as the planet circled its star.
The average distance from Hylend to its Kepler-22 is about 15% less than the distance from Earth to the Sun but the luminosity of Kepler-22 is about 25% less than that of the Sun. This combination of a shorter average distance from the star and a lower stellar luminosity are consistent with a moderate surface temperature at that distance, if it is assumed that the surface is not subject to extreme greenhouse heating.

Due to the large number of Bases and their various functions, they are dependent on each other. One focuses on food production, the other is typically mining, and the other is entertainment and residential. For this reason, it was necessary to build a road and rail network enabling land communication between bases. Traditional passenger vehicles, trucks and trains complemented the fast but very expensive medium-range teleportation.
