The Trisolaran homeworld in Alpha Centauri — a planet that survives by dehydrating, learning, and deciding to leave.
Trisolaris in Book 2 is mostly known by its consequences: an invasion fleet inbound, a sophon overhead, a populace that lives by dehydrating itself when the suns line up wrong. The civilization there has decided that the only way to survive is to take Earth, and the only thing standing in its way is a single Chinese sociologist who has noticed a pattern.
A terrestrial planet in a chaotic three-sun system, four-and-a-quarter light-years from Earth. Surface: stretched-out plains, a single giant moon torn from the planet's own substance, a dehydrated populace stacked in vast warehouses during Chaotic Eras. The pyramid-city of Zhaoge dominates the canonical view.
