Jump map from Travellermap.com

Zendar is a rich, agricultural garden world with a near-ideal, utopian environment conducive to most sophonts.

• As an agricultural world, this world is a near-ideal environment for producing quality foodstuffs of plant, animal, and other forms. Quality foodstuffs are a major export commodity for this world.
• This is a rich world with a prosperous and thriving world economy.
• Its economy and population are rapidly growing and living conditions are expected to quickly rise barring outside forces.
• It is a part of the Occupied Territories in the Ras Tennol Subsector of Far Home Sector, which is part of the Distant Fringe.

• This world-system hosts a Military Base, usually associated with military ground forces, which may be located on or off-world.
• This world is under military occupation by the Worlds of The Leader

Astrography and Planetology

This star system is detailed using the Fringian Variant System Description.

• Zendar is considered to be a component of the "Missing Link" Star Lane.

System Data

Sol Loran-Zendar System

The primary is Sol Loran, an ordinary yellow main sequence star. It has a luminosity of 0.886 Sols, a mass of 0.98 Sols, and a diameter of 1.391 million km. The inner system consists of (I) a trace atmosphere inner world, and (II) a corrosive atmosphere inferno world. (III) Zendar orbits within the habitable zone and is designated the mainworld. (IV) a thin atmosphere hospitable world, (V) an exotic atmosphere bigworld, (VI-I) a sparse stony planetoid belt, (VI-II) a small gas giant, (VII) a large gas giant, (VIII) a large gas giant, (IX) a ringed small ice giant, (X) a vacuum worldlet, and (XI) a dense icy planetoid belt form the outer system. Many of the worlds retain satellites.

Mainworld Data

(III) Zendar

(III) Zendar is designated the mainworld. It orbits Sol Loran at a mean distance of 0.78 AU (116.7 million km), within the habitable zone. It has an orbital period of 254 days 4 hours and a rotation period of 21.5 hours. The axial tilt is 23 degrees. Zendar has a diameter of 11,397 km, a density of 4.26 g/cm³, and a surface gravity of 0.69 G. The world is geologically active. Its atmosphere is rated as Dense, Tainted, with a mean surface pressure of 1.69 bar and a composition of 77% nitrogen (N₂), 22% oxygen (O₂), and 1% argon (Ar), water vapor (H₂O), carbon dioxide (CO₂), neon (Ne) and other trace gases. Approximately 69% of the surface is covered in oceans of liquid water: average tidal ranges exceed 0.4m. Mean surface temperature: 19°C. The climate is rated as Temperate-Prime and experiences minor seasonal changes during the local year. The atmosphere is active and moderate weather systems driven by the star and the oceans work across the globe.

Satellite

Zendar retains a single natural satellite, a very thin atmosphere hospitable world named Jorven:

(IIIa) Jorven (UWP H332000-0, orbiting at 12 Diameters/135,000 km)

Mainworld Geography and Topography

Total surface area: 408 million km², Water surface area: 282 million km², Land surface area: 126 million km².

Native Lifeforms

Sol Loran-Zendar System

Zendar, the mainworld, has extensive, abundant native life, with complex organisms inhabiting every ecological niche. Their metabolic functions drive the process of atmospheric renewal.

• Jorven, Zendar's temperate hospitable moon, has extensive native life, consisting of microscopic organisms, stromatolite-parallels and primitive flora that can be found in almost every ecological niche. Their metabolic functions drive the process of atmospheric renewal.

The cold marginally hospitable world lying in orbital position (IV) (within the H+ region of the outer system) has extensive native life, consisting of microscopic organisms, stromatolite-parallels and primitive flora that can be found in almost every ecological niche. Their metabolic functions drive the process of atmospheric renewal.

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

World starport

Zendar has a Class B Starport, a good quality installation which includes all the expected amenities including refined fuel for starships, brokerage services for passengers and cargo, and a variety of ship provisions. There is a shipyard capable of doing annual maintenance, overhauls and most kinds of repair, and construction of non-starships. Most ports of this classification have both a Highport and a Downport.

World technology level

Zendar possesses a Technology Level of TL–6.

• Common Communication technologies for this TL include: Telephone, radio, and television.
• Common Power Generation technologies for this TL include: Early fission power generation, advanced water and wind generation of electricity.
• Common Transportation technologies for this TL include:
  • Land: Improved automobiles, early ATV's, and dedicated AFV's.
  • Water: Amphibious vehicles, improved submersibles, and early SCUBA gear.
  • Air: Early jet aircraft and rotorcraft VTOL's.
  • Space: Early unmanned rocket delivery systems and early manned orbital rockets.

World government

Zendar has a Captive Government or Colony. The world is ruled by an external government, there is no self-rule. A colony or conquered area. The local government is an oligarchy appointed by, and answerable only to, the external government.
