Duseb is an icy, low-population world, with a population less than 10,000 sophonts in population size, warranting hazardous environment precautions.

System Data[edit]

Jurich-Duseb System[edit]

The primary is Jurich, an ordinary red main sequence star. It has a luminosity of 0.0136 Sols, a mass of 0.3626 Sols, and a diameter of 551,000 km. (I) a sparse icy planetoid belt, (II) a very thin atmosphere iceworld, (III) Charlan, a ringed large gas giant: (IIIb) Duseb is its second moon and is designated the mainworld, (IV) an exotic atmosphere radworld, (V) a small gas giant, (VI) a small ice giant, and (VII) a vacuum iceworld form the outer system. Many of the worlds retain satellites.

(III) Charlan[edit]

(III) Charlan is a large gas giant that orbits Jurich at a mean distance of 0.72 AU and has an orbital period of 1 year 29 days. It has a diameter of 112,000 km and is a heavily banded deep blue colour. It retains a family of three major satellites of which the second, (IIIb) Duseb, is designated the mainworld.

Mainworld Data[edit]

(IIIb) Duseb[edit]

(IIIb) Duseb is the second of the three major moons of (III) Charlan and is designated the mainworld. It orbits its parent world at a mean distance of 15 diameters (1.68 million km), with an orbital period of 182 days 5 hours: it is tidally locked to Charlan. The axial tilt is 2 degrees relative to Charlan. Duseb has a diameter of 3,406 km, a density of 6.12 g/cm³, and a surface gravity of 0.29 G. Tidal stresses generated by the gravitational pull of Charlan cause regular geological activity. The atmosphere is rated as Trace, with a mean surface pressure of 0.005 bar and a composition of 95% carbon dioxide (CO2), 4% nitrogen (N2) and 1% water vapor (H2O), azane (NH3), carbon monoxide (CO) and other trace gases. Approximately 21% of the surface is covered in sheets of water-ice. Mean surface temperature: -133°C.

Mainworld Geography and Topography[edit]

Total surface area: 36.4 million km², Land surface area: 28.7 million km², 7.7 million km²

Native Lifeforms[edit]

No world in the Duseb system is known to have native life.

World starport[edit]

Duseb has a Class D Starport, a poor quality installation which has few of the expected amenities. There is unrefined fuel for starships and a limited variety of ship provisions. There is no shipyard of any kind, but there may be parts and technical support for doing minor services and repair. Ports of this classification generally consist of only a downport, unless this is a trade port or system with an hostile environment mainworld.

World technology level[edit]

Duseb possesses a Technology Level of TL–8.

  • Common Communication technologies for this TL include: Fiber optics, improved telephones, and satellite communication and data networks.
  • Common Power Generation technologies for this TL include: Improved geothermal and improved batteries.
  • Common Transportation technologies for this TL include:
    • Land: Advanced automobiles.
    • Water: Triphibians and early artificial gills.
    • Air: Improved helicopters and hypersonic jets.
    • Space: Space shuttles, early space stations, and improved interplanetary spacecraft (System Craft).

World government[edit]

Duseb is governed by a Corporate Polity with a single corporation with a typical corporate structure as a government. A company town, or world. The typical corporate run world usually has a single purpose. Examples include mining, agriculture, or other kinds of resource extraction. But rather than a simple base of operations, there are facilities for housing workers and their families including hospitals, schools, and other infrastructure. How, or if, the children of the workers are incorporated into the workforce varies with companies. The corporation running the world may be a subsidiary of a larger interstellar corporation.
