System Data

The worlds of the system have been surveyed. They consist of:

• The mainworld. It orbits in the red tertiary star's outer system.
• x8 secondary rocky worlds. One of these, a temperate agricultural world with two large moons, orbits in the white primary star's habitable zone.

Mainworld Data

Zaadurar orbits in the tertiary star's outer system, far beyond its narrow habitable zone.

• It receives very low levels of stellar energy.

Mainworld Size (S)

Zaadurar is a Small World between 4,000km and 5,600km in diameter. The world has low gravity between 0.24G and 0.34G. The horizon will appear about 3km away.

Mainworld Atmosphere (A)

Zaadurar has a pressure of less than 0.001 atmospheres which requires the use of a Vacc Suit. TL–8 or more advanced survival gear is required to settle this world.

Mainworld Hydrosphere (H)

Zaadurar has 15-25% of its surface covered by liquid water or ice. There may be a few small seas. Wilderness refueling is possible. Water for the inhabitants needs to be imported and extensively recycled. These worlds are Hell Worlds or Poor Worlds depending on their atmosphere.

Mainworld Geography and Topography

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

(Blank map, vacuum world.)

History & Background (Dossier)

Zaadurar was settled during the Ziru Sirka by miners looking to exploit the world's abundant natural resources.

A secondary world, orbiting the system's distant white primary star in its habitable zone, is an agricultural outpost that supplies the mainworld with food. It has two large moons that are marginally habitable.

• It is the site of a ruined pirate base dating to the Long Night.

Llelish Interstellar, the leading media corporation within Ilelish Sector, maintains facilities and offices on the world.

World Starport (St)

Zaadurar 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 Population (P)

Zaadurar has a population of 30,000,000,000 sophonts (tens of billions).

• High Population Worlds like this tend to have huge consumer markets.

World Government (G)

Zaadurar is governed by an Impersonal Bureaucracy. The leadership of the government takes another form (democracy, dictatorship, oligarchy), but the bureaucracy dictates government policy and its execution. Government leadership is reduced to little more than figureheads and does not select the bureaucracy leadership or its members.

World Law (L)

Zaadurar has a high law level with laws covering many areas of interactions of people, corporations, and the government. A few worlds with this law level may be Amber Zones. Any interaction with the judicial system requires an Advocate trained in the local legal system. Law enforcement is present almost everywhere, either as people or via technology. Legal proceedings can take weeks to months to resolve and involve a dozen or more people. All blade weapons and firearms, and anything more destructive, are typically regulated or prohibited.

Imperial Landed Nobility

Zaadurar, 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 fiefdoms of two members of the Imperial Landed Nobility, who oversee affairs regarding the world at an Interstellar and Imperial level.
