Mare Infinitus, sometimes abbreviated as "Mare-Eye," is a moon located within the WorldWeb of the Hegemony of Man. It is known for its globe-spanning ocean, which lacks islands or landmasses of any kind. It orbits an enormous sub-Jovian terrestrial planet in the 70 Ophiuchi system.
Mare Infinitus' seawater is an unusual deep violet hue, resulting from the proliferation of a type of planktonic algae. It is one of the worlds located on the River Tethys; the farcaster portals comprising the Mare Infinitus section of the tour are buoyed and anchored in place.
Ecology[]
Mare Infinitus' ocean is home to numerous varieties of aquatic organisms, including many species of coelacanth, rainbow sharks and the dreaded Lamp Mouth Leviathans.
Its waters contain a microorganism that causes severe infection in humans with injuries exposed to it. It grows inside the body "like fen fungus", branching out into the internal organs.[1]
Three "Moons"[]

Visitors to Mare Infinitus looking over the horizon see what appear to be three moons, one of which looks like a great orange sphere that dominates the sky and dwarfs the other two smaller bodies rising over the turbulent violet waters. In fact, Mare Infinitus itself is the moon orbiting a near Jovian-sized rocky world. The rocky giant is described as covered by a dusty surface upon which rust-colored clouds move. There are brown blemishes on it like volcano flows, mountain ranges, a long valley like a scar, and a faint icefield at the north pole. The sub-jovian rocky planet was said to resemble Mars before terraforming.[2]
