It orbits within its star's habitable zone.

Mainworld Size (S)

Yori is a Meso World between 7,200km and 8,800km in diameter. The world has a standard gravity between 0.4G and 0.57G. The horizon will appear about 4km away.

Mainworld Atmosphere (A)

Yori has a pressure of 0.71 to 1.49 atmospheres. A Standard Atmosphere does not require survival gear and will likely be easy for most sophonts to breathe.

Mainworld Hydrosphere (H)

Yori has no free-standing water or ice on the surface. Wilderness refueling isn't possible on this world. Water for the inhabitants needs to be imported and extensively recycled. These worlds are classified Desert World or a Hell World depending on their atmosphere. Yori's desert surface is covered by salt deposits resulting from the evaporation of huge, now dried seabeds left over from a time long ago when the planetary climate was much wetter.

Native Sophont: Zhurphani

The Zhurphani are two meter tall bipedal omnivores. They weigh from 40 to 150 kilograms and have two arms. They have two eyes in the front of their head with two ears above and a many-toothed mouth below. They can see in both normal light and in infrared. They appear to be vaguely reptilian but are actually warm-blooded.

History & Background (Dossier)

A rich Imperial world located in the Regina Subsector of the Spinward Marches.

Salt mining from Yori’s huge dried sea beds is the planet's main industry; this salt is highly valued by the food industries of many worlds.

Research Station Beta is located on the 14th moon of the system’s second gas giant. Officially, it is there to study gas-giant weather.

Imperial Landed Nobility (N)

Yori, as a member world of the Third Imperium, holds the estate of an Imperial Landed Knight who acts as an Imperial representative to the world, and the fiefdom of a member of the Imperial Landed Nobility, who oversees affairs regarding the world at an Interstellar and Imperial level.

Ports of this classification generally have only a downport, unless this is a trade port or system with an hostile environment mainworld.

World Population (P)

Yori has a population of 70,000,000 sophonts (tens of millions).

World Demographics

• Human, 40% (around 28 million)
• Zhurphani, 60% (around 42 million)

The three branches of Zhurphani -- the Yrii Zur -- diverged from the parent species recently (within the last few hundred thousand years). The parent species, the Zur, was sophont, and created a wide-spanning network of cities which controlled the planet's dwindling water supply. Long after that civilization's collapse, the species diverged in adaptation to the evolving climate zones of Yori.

Urbanization

In addition to Yori Startown, the other major settlement on the planet is Davinci.
