Barbuda
Type: Water
Size: C (750 mile diamter)
Shape: Spherical
Day Length: 18 hours
Year Length: 1.25 standard years
Barbuda is a tiny, spherical planet: Size C, about 750 miles in diameter, with an equatorial circumference of approximately 2,350 miles. It rotates on its axis in about 18 hours. Its axis is inclined very slightly to the plane of its orbit, so it has seasons. Barbuda has a breathable atmosphere, and has many islands of rock and coral. Some float on the surface of the ocean, while others drift several hundred feet blow the surface. These islands drift randomly around the face of the world, never coming closer than a mile or so apart, and never colliding. The water that makes up most of the planet is normal water. The oceans of Barbuda are salty, but not extremely so.
Barbuda appears as a world of breath-taking blues and greens, streaked with thin clouds of the purest white. From space, most of the floating islands are too small to see. Sunlight often reflects off the oceans, appearing as sparkles of gold against the azure seas.
Barbuda has almost one hundred islands floating on the surface of its planetary ocean, and about as many drifting several hundred feet down. Most of these islands are very small, however: no more than a couple of hundred feet across, with some as small as a score of feet in diameter. Only one is significantly larger: a cigar-shaped island called Domina, which is three miles long and 1,500 feet wide at Its widest point. The islands that float atop the ocean seem to be made of rock, covered in a layer of coral. Those that drift below the surface are almost exclusively coral. These islands drift slowly around the ocean. As on other water worlds, nobody knows what supports and moves the islands, and what prevents them from ever colliding.
