Marama (Helios 2a) is the moon of Tangaroa (Helios II), United Empire of Earth (UEE). Its dense iron and nickel core combined with a very fast orbital period of 4.3 SED contribute to its parent planet's strong tidal forces, sometimes causing waves hundreds of meters high. Like Tangaroa, Marama is highly geologically active, and is dotted with mountains and erupting volcanoes. It has a thin atmosphere of sulfur dioxide.
