Dezik (Massilia 0228) is a cold, subgas giant circling a small star. Despite its hydrogen atmosphere, it has a water hydrosphere which is frozen on top and kept liquid underneath by the planet's own heat. This star system is judged to be a very young one, and planets are still contracting and sweeping up asteroidal debris.

This unparalleled opportunity to study the processes of planet formation brought the original scientific colony to Dezik. It has since grown to about 2500 sophonts from several cooperating races.
