Jump map from Travellermap.com

Felspar is a high-population, industrial world with a billion or more sophonts in population size.

• As an industrial world, this planet has well-developed manufacturing and processing industries. Manufactured goods are a major export item.
• Its economy is rapidly growing and living conditions are expected to rapidly improve barring outside forces.
• It is a subject world of the Korsumug Empire located in the Galaxa Subsector of Mavuzog Sector.

• This world is a "Twilight Zone World", a planet that is tidally-locked to its star. It has a hot side that permanently faces the star, a cold side that permanently faces away, and a narrow twilight zone in-between.
• This is a "high technology" world with technology achievements at, near, or over technology standards for Charted Space.
• This is a "Puzzle" world designated as an Amber Zone. Caution is advised since the world has an environment, laws, customs, life forms, or other conditions that are not well understood and might be a danger to a visitor.
• This world-system hosts a Naval Base, usually associated with military starships, which may be located on or off-world.
• This world has an exploration base, which is similar to an Imperial Scout Base, capable of handling explorer personnel and exploratory starships.
• About 80% of the population is composed of humans.
• About 10% of the population is composed of Jaibok.
• About 10% of the population is composed of Vardin.

Description (Astrography & Planetology)

Felspar has a solitary primary star.

• It is an orange main sequence.

System Data

A diagram indicating the positions of all of the major worlds and satellites in the system. Distances are noted in AU.

• Extended system data is available.

• x1 Mainworld. This is the middle world in a 5:3:2 resonant sequence of three worlds and has a 55.8 standard day orbit. It lies within the narrow habitable zone.
• x3 Secondary rocky worlds. Two form part of the inner resonant sequence while the third lies in the outer system.
• x3 Gas giants.

Resonant Worlds
The innermost three worlds, including the mainworld, have an orbital resonance of 5:3:2 with one another. For every two orbits the outermost of the three worlds completes, the mainworld completes exactly three orbits, and the inner world completes exactly five orbits.

• The three worlds orbit at distances of 0.17 AU, 0.23 AU, and 0.31 AU respectively, placing the two inner worlds within Orbit 0 and the outer world within Orbit 1.
• They have orbital periods of 33.5 standard days, 55.8 standard days, and 83.7 standard days respectively
• The inner world and the mainworld are tidally locked to the star.

Jump Shadow

The Jump Shadow of the star lies at 0.517 AU. The mainworld orbits at 0.23 AU, approximately 0.29 AU / 43.4 million km within the safe jump distance.

• "Arrive and Stop" assumes an inward journey: the ship exits jump at 0.517 AU with broadly the same relative motion as the mainworld. It accelerates to a halfway point, then decelerates to orbit around the world.
• "Arrive at Full Speed" assumes an outward journey: the ship departs orbit around the mainworld and continuously accelerates to 0.517 AU, initiating jump when it arrives without slowing down.

Travel Times over 0.29 AU

Acceleration	Arrive and Stop	Arrive at Full Speed
1-G	37.0 hours	26.2 hours
2-G	26.2 hours	18.5 hours
3-G	21.4 hours	15.1 hours
4-G	18.5 hours	13.1 hours
5-G	16.6 hours	11.7 hours
6-G	15.1 hours	10.7 hours

Mainworld Data

Felspar has been designated the mainworld.

Mainworld Size (S)

Felspar is a Meso World between 10,400km and 12,000km in diameter. The world has a standard gravity between 0.7G and 0.9G. The horizon will appear about 4.7km away.

Mainworld Atmosphere (A)

Felspar has a pressure of 1.50 to 2.49 atmospheres. While a Dense Atmosphere requires no survival gear this atmosphere also contains an unusual taint such as such as disease, a hazardous gas mix, pollutants, or sulfur compounds which requires the use of a Filter Mask. Some taints may require more protective equipment. TL–3 or more advanced survival gear is required to settle this world.

Mainworld Hydrosphere (H)

Felspar has 55-65% of its surface covered by liquid water. It has significant large liquid bodies. Wilderness refueling is possible.

Mainworld Geography and Topography

No centrally held map of the world exists within AAB Library Data records.

(Blank map, predominantly watery world.)

Native lifeforms

Extensive, abundant native life.

History & Background (Dossier)

Felspar is a Puzzle World and is designated as an Amber Zone. It presents particular risks and dangers due to the environment or native life forms, laws or customs, or other conditions that are not well understood.

• Visitors are advised to act with caution.

The system is a major base for the Glorious Triumph Fleet, a large Imperial Korsumug Navy unit.

World Starport (St)

Felspar has a Class A Starport, an excellent 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 other kinds of repair, and construction of both starships and non-starships. Most ports of this classification have both a Highport and a Downport.

• The world is the site of an Exploration Base.
• The world is host to a Naval Base.

World Population (P)

Felspar has a population of 1,000,000,000 sophonts (billions).

• High Population Worlds like this tend to have huge consumer markets.
• Roughly 80% of the population consists of humans.
• Around 10% of the population is made up of Jaibok occupation troops and settlers.
• Approximately 10% of the population is composed of Vardin.

World Technology Level (T)

Felspar possesses a Technology Level of TL–12 or TL-C in Hexadecimal Notation.

• Common Communication technologies for this TL include: Holovision, Personal Global Communications, and advanced Translators.
• Common Power Generation technologies for this TL include: Increasingly advanced fusion plants and advanced fuel cells.
• Common Transportation technologies for this TL include:
  • Land, Water & Air: Personal G-Tubes and advanced gravcraft.
  • Space: Advanced interplanetary spacecraft (System Craft).
  • FTL: Jump Drive-3.

World Government (G)

Felspar is governed by a Charismatic Dictatorship. Charismatic governments justify their ability to rule by simply asserting their right to rule. Charismatic dictatorships are young governments, coming as a recent change and rely on the leader(s) to supply head of government.

World Military

Two large naval units, part of the Korsumug Glorious Triumph Fleet, are based at the systems Naval Bases.

Locally Based Units
Marker	Name	Role	Leader	Remarks	Quality	Typical Ship Types
	Felspar Defense Command	Defense	Grand Commodore Loraxal	A formation that specifically defends Felspar, one of the most important naval construction yards within the Korsumug Empire. The unit often sees action, protecting installations and sites from insurgents and against strikes originating from the Sorority of Hygiea.	Average	KJ120d Vermin KJ300d Malign KE10c Gravid
	Task Force Karrak	Defense	Fleet Admiral Karrak	The Task Force is responsible for suppressing uprisings and crushing opposition. It is preparing defenses against the imminent "liberation" of Vardin Space. The unit has a reputation for heavy-handedness and brutality.	Good	KJ400d Scourge KE10c Rapacious KE10c Gravid

World Law (L)

Felspar has a moderate level with laws covering many areas of government and interaction. These laws are simple enough that most people can act as their own advocate, though for serious issues a professional is recommended. Law enforcement officials will be present, but not in great numbers. Personal concealable firearms, and anything more destructive, are typically regulated or prohibited.
