Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea

Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea was a Terran novel by French author Jules Verne published in 1870. It was notable for predicting the use of submarines long before such vessels were practical.

The novel's vessel, the Nautilus, was the namesake of the USS Nautilus.

The novel's viewpoint character, Pierre Aronnax, was presumably the namesake of Aronnax Station on Pacifica.
