Terra Nova is a garden world with a near-ideal environment conducive to most forms of life. The system supports a population of fewer than 10,000 sophonts. This world is a satellite of a gas giant or another planet in the system and is tide locked to the planet it orbits. It is a member of Zhodani Consulate in the Querion Subsector of Spinward Marches Sector and in the Province of Iadr Nsobl. In the Zhodani Consulate this world is known as Zhda.

Terra Nova is a member of the Spinward Main.

• Terra Nova is a large moon tidally locked to its primary. The Consulate is slowly developing the promising twilight zones, being careful not to disturb the local ecology.
