Devastated years ago by some man made apocalyptic event, the people on Echo have lived on floating cites for generations. The land being entirely uninhabitable, they take everything from the oceans and much of their energy is spent gathering fresh water.

Geography

Echo is a charred landscape with the only life surviving in or on the oceans.

Fauna & Flora

The water plants on this planet are very different from what most people are used to. While they roughly share the same colours, or lack thereof, these plants have developed into mostly flesh eating species. Almost no aquatic creature is safe, even the bigger ones can sometimes get caught in these death traps. 
The underwater world also has its fair share of "forests". Mostly in the form of long, grass-like water plants, but there are few dozens places on this planet where actual underwater forests grow. The species in these forests aren't actual trees, but they work in similar ways. Roots keep them in place, while a trunk helps carry the nutrients to every part of its body. At the top, branch-like tentacles grow to feed on micro-organisms near the surface. These tentacles often reach above the surface, giving the water a mysterious and eerie look.
