Jump map from Travellermap.com

Ogerrgh is a preindustrial, moderate population water world with over a hundred million, but not yet at a billion sophonts in population size.

• Its surface is 90% or more covered in an ocean of water.
• The inhabitants of this world live on the roughly 10% of exposed land mass, in underwater colonies, on city ships, or similar arrangements.
• As a preindustrial world, this planet cannot yet manufacture enough high-technology resources to support a modern, star-faring society. Having to import most manufactured and high tech goods drives the price up for these items at this world.
• It is a Non-Aligned world dominated by Vargr sophonts located in the Voskhod Subsector of Vland Sector.

Description (Astrography & Planetology)

Mainworld Data

Mainworld Size (S)

Ogerrgh is a Meso World between 8,800km and 10,400km in diameter. The world has a standard gravity between 0.6G and 0.8G. The horizon will appear about 4.4km away.

Mainworld Atmosphere (A)

Ogerrgh has a pressure of 0.10 to 0.42 atmospheres.

Some taints may require more protective equipment. TL–5 or more advanced survival gear is required to settle this world.
