Knyth is a low-population world with a population of less than 10,000 sophonts in size.
- This world has yet to take off economically or otherwise and the population remains low for reasons largely unknown.
- This dangerous world is designated an Amber Zone with an environment, laws, customs, life forms, or other conditions make it dangerous to visitors.
- It is a part of the Hell Worlds in the Orret Subsector of Far Home Sector, which is part of the Distant Fringe.
- This world is controlled by the Sath Alliance

System Data[edit]
Forch-Knyth System[edit]
The primary is Forch, 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) an exotic atmosphere stormworld. (III) Kyth orbits within the habitable zone and is designated the mainworld. (IV) a very thin atmosphere hospitable world, (V) a small gas giant, and (VI) a small ice giant form the outer system. Many of the worlds retain satellites.
Tride Subsystem[edit]
The companion is Tride, a dim red subdwarf star that orbits Forch at 272 AU (orbital position (XIII), 40 billion km) and has an orbital period of 4530 years. It has a luminosity of 0.00152 Sols, a mass of 0.093 Sols, and a diameter of 127,000 km. (I) a very thin atmosphere radworld, (II) a dense atmosphere bigworld, (III) a sparse icy planetoid belt, and (IV) a ringed large gas giant form the outer system. All of the worlds retain satellites.
Mainworld Data[edit]
(III) Knyth[edit]
(III) Knyth is designated the mainworld. It orbits Forch at a mean distance of 0.64 AU (95.8 million km), within the habitable zone. It has an orbital period of 188 days 22 hours and a rotation period of 20.5 hours. The axial tilt is 13 degrees. Knyth has a diameter of 12,293 km, a density of 4.74 g/cm³, and a surface gravity of 0.83 G. The world is geologically active. Its atmosphere is rated as Thin, Tainted, with a mean surface pressure of 0.44 bar and a composition of 68% nitrogen (N2), 31% oxygen (O2), and 1% argon (Ar), water vapor (H2O), carbon dioxide (CO2), ozone (O3), neon (Ne) and other trace gases. The taint is caused by the high percentage of atmospheric oxygen. Approximately 88% of the surface is covered in oceans of liquid water: average tidal ranges exceed 0.75m. Mean surface temperature: 8°C. The climate is rated as Temperate-Cool and experiences minor seasonal changes during the local year. The atmosphere is dynamic and powerful weather systems driven by the star and the oceans sweep across the globe.
Satellite[edit]
Knyth retains a single natural satellite, a cratered vacuum worldlet named Jeo:
- (IIIa) Jeo (UWP Y100000-0, orbiting at 8 Diameters/99,000 km)
Mainworld Geography and Topography[edit]
Total surface area: 517 million km², Water surface area: 455 million km², Land surface area: 62 million km².
Native Lifeforms[edit]
Forch-Knyth System[edit]
Kyth, the mainworld, has extensive, abundant native life, with organisms inhabiting every ecological niche. Their metabolic functions drive the process of atmospheric renewal and create the very high percentage of atmospheric oxygen.
No other world in the system is known to have native life.
Tride Subsystem[edit]
The large gas giant lying in orbital position (IV) (within the outer system) has jovionoid lifeforms within its atmosphere.
No other world in the subsystem is known to have native life.
History & Background (Dossier)[edit]
No information yet available.
World starport[edit]
Knyth has a Class E Starport, a frontier quality installation with few 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 a downport.
World technology level[edit]
Knyth 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[edit]
Knyth 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.
