Wichita is almost fully covered by a vast ocean, containing primitive life forms ranging from single-celled organisms to fish-like creatures. Libertonian scientists were once preparing an expedition to survey the world, but the Republic forbade them to do so in light of The Commonwealth's presence within the Kansas system.
What is known about Wichita is that its islands are dotted with many small, abandoned settlements from various groups that attempted to lay claim to the wilderness of the Kansas system, though none never succeeded. Wichita's gravity rests at 0.8 g’s, or 80% of the standard gravity typically tolerated by the human body. While this makes entry and escape from the planet's orbit easy to achieve, it poses several problems for long term settlement.
In addition, nearly all of Wichita's islands are submerged at different points throughout the year due to the eccentric orbit of Colby, Wichita's only moon. This would require any permanent installation on the planet to be fully waterproofed and capable of operating submerged for at least a week at a time until the sea level returns to normal.
