This is the other setting I'm working on this month:
The twin solar systems of the Free Cities of the Serpents have, between them, 12 planets. However most of these don't naturally support life.
The artificial biosphere created on these planets are going to be either
1. Stationary and Terrestrial - for planets with a regularish day night cycle. 2. Moving and Terrestrial - for planets which are spin-locked. Moving cities will exist in the dawn and dusk zones. 3. Ocean-going - for the gas dwarfs.
I'm going to assume all the artificial biospheres are broadly equivalent but that the stationary and terrestrial ones will be more similar to each other than they are to the ones that move. Each city is distinct so only way for species to transfer between them is by human vehicles and that will have an impact on how species unique to one biosphere (for whatever reason), transfer to the others.
At some point I need to work out what resources are tempting people out to all these hostile environments.
The remaining planet is going to have an ecosystem in the process of recovering from the arrival of humans and their plants and livestock. I don't have a map yet for New Gabarone, but the main place of interest is the city of Landfall and that is in a warm mediterranean climate area.
