Hermitage is a poor, low-population desert hellworld, with a population of less than 10,000 sophonts struggling to survive in a inhospitable environment.
- Living on a hellworld is a constant struggle. Nearly every day and sometimes even hourly, the inhabitants of this world face life-threatening challenges.
- This world has no free-standing water.
- This is a "low technology" world with technology competencies well below technology standards for Charted Space.
- It is a part of The Retreat in the Baradis Subsector of Halcyon Sector, which is part of the Distant Fringe.

System Data[edit]
Somolan-Hermitage System[edit]
The primary is Somolan, a white subgiant star. It has a luminosity of 16.2 Sols, a mass of 2.3 Sols, and a diameter of 3.701 million km. The inner system consists of (II) a vacuum worldlet, (IV) a very thin atmosphere inner world, (V) a corrosive atmosphere inferno world, and (VI) a dense atmosphere stormworld – orbital positions (I) and (III) are empty. (VII) Hermitage orbits within the habitable zone and is designated the mainworld. (VIII) an exotic atmosphere bigworld, (IX) a ringed large gas giant, and (X) a vacuum iceworld form the outer system. Many of the worlds retain satellites.
Mainworld Data[edit]
(VII) Hermitage[edit]
(VII) Hermitage is designated the mainworld. It orbits Somolan at a mean distance of 5.3 AU (793 million km), within the habitable zone. It has an orbital period of 8 years 17 days and a rotation period of 29 hours. The axial tilt is 18 degrees. Hermitage has a diameter of 7,815 km, a density of 5.66 g/cm³, and a surface gravity of 0.63 G. The world is geologically active. Its atmosphere is rated as Thin, Tainted, with a mean surface pressure of 0.53 bar and a composition of 77% nitrogen, 22% oxygen, and 1% argon, water vapour, carbon dioxide, neon and other trace gases. The atmospheric taint is caused by large amounts of airborne silicates and dust. Approximately 1% of the surface is covered in lakes of liquid water: average tidal ranges are negligible. Mean surface temperature: 34°C. The atmosphere is sluggish and weak weather systems driven by the star drift across the surface. The climate is seasonal.
Satellite[edit]
Hermitage retains a single natural satellite, a vacuum worldlet named Galoo:
- (VIIa) Galoo (UWP Y100000-0, orbiting Hermitage at 12 Diameters/94,000 km)
Mainworld geography and topography[edit]
Total surface area: 192 million km², Land surface area: 190 million km², Water surface area: 2 million km².
Native lifeforms[edit]
Hermitage, the mainworld, has primitive native life entirely consisting of extremophile single celled organisms that grow anywhere that they can find a source of water. Their metabolic functions drive the process of atmospheric renewal.

World starport[edit]
Hermitage does not have a starport. The Class X Starport is an indication that no starport exists in the system. There are no facilities or services available, and no site marked for landing.
World technology level[edit]
Hermitage possesses a Technology Level of TL–2.
- Common Communication technologies for this TL include: Runners or beast relay, the printing press, long distance signaling such as the heliograph and semaphore.
- Common Power Generation technologies for this TL include: Water wheels and wind power.
- Common Transportation technologies for this TL include:
- Land: Riding beasts and creature-drawn wheeled vehicles.
- Water: Sailing vessels.
- Air: Typically not available unless a bodily ability or ride-able flying beasts available.
World government[edit]
Hermitage has no central government for the world, an Anarchy. The largest governmental structure would be a family, tribe, or single clan. The largest group will be between 50 and 100 individuals, and there may be dozens to hundreds of them. This governmental structure can be stable over long periods of time if the population remains small or geographically separated.
