'''Radioplankton''' are tiny, free-floating, carbon-based algae that inhabit sub-categories of [[Gas Giant]] planets called Gas Giants with Water-based Life and Gas Giants with Ammonia-based Life. Unlike some other alien [[species]], radioplankton cannot be directly observed, and are only known to exist through the text descriptions on [[System Map]]s.

There exists a rare variety of free-floating radioplankton that can fluoresce as a result of interacting with the intense radiation of gas giants and glow bright green, causing the parent gas giant to become a Green Gas Giant.

== Description ==
''Gas giant with water-based life. This is primarily a hydrogen and helium based atmospheric gas giant, but not far below the surface exists life based in the water-cloud layer just below the atmospheric surface. The chemistry of this gaseous region is far from equilibrium, with a surprising excess of oxygen and many carbon-based compounds giving it some vivid colors. As with many such gaseous living systems, it is underpinned by vast quantities of free-floating radioplankton - tiny carbon-based algae, each retaining a small quantity of liquid water, extracting their energy from intense radiation flux.<ref>In-game description</ref>''

== Locations ==
Some Gas Giants with Water-based Life that support radioplankton are listed below.
