Aztlán was the first colonia, [ Adela abruptly returns to that conversational tone, ] It was an exoplanet that had the better Earth-like conditions. Nearly no terraforming was needed. It was where we got most our ciudades, oceans to fish, campos para ganado y agricultura, playas, tourist sites, and so on.

Digo. Sí es un planeta muy bonito, but people there think they're in the center of the 'verse. My home, and that of my unit, was back in Puerto Nuevo Vallarta, a world that's still plenty of decades away from finishing terraformation. It didn't have as many cities, but it was our home.
