Arodir is an agricultural, nonindustrial world still lacking adequate means to expand its economy.
- As an agricultural world, this world is a near-ideal environment for producing quality foodstuffs of plant, animal, and other forms. Quality foodstuffs are a major export commodity for this world.
- It requires extensive imports of outside technology to maintain a modern, star-faring society. Having to import most manufactured and high tech goods drives the price up for these items at this world.
- This is a "low technology" world with technology competencies well below technology standards for Charted Space.
- It is a Non-Aligned world dominated by human sophonts located in the Arodir Subsector of Far Home Sector.

System Data
Alzana-Arodir System
The primary is Alzana, a red giant star. It has a luminosity of 2485 Sols, a mass of 8.3 Sols, and a diameter of 409.072 million km – the corona of the star extends to 1.37 AU, just within orbital position (V). The inner system consists of (V) a sparse stony planetoid belt, (VIII) a vacuum inner world, and (IX) a corrosive atmosphere inferno world – orbital positions (I) through (IV) lie within the star and orbital positions (VI) and (VII) are empty. (X-I) an exotic atmosphere hospitable world and (X-II) Arodir, designated the mainworld, have a shared orbit within the habitable zone. (XI) an exotic atmosphere bigworld forms the outer system. Many of the worlds retain satellites.
Mainworld data
(X-I) Arodir
(X-I) Arodir is designated the mainworld. It orbits Alzana at a mean distance of 51.2 AU (7.66 billion km), within the habitable zone. It has an orbital period of 127 years 60 days and a rotation period of 46 hours. The axial tilt is 38 degrees. Arodir has a diameter of 7,024 km, a density of 4.88 g/cm³, and a surface gravity of 0.49 G. The world is geologically active. Its atmosphere is rated as Standard, with a mean surface pressure of 0.87 bar and a composition of 78% nitrogen (N2), 20% oxygen (O2), 1% argon (Ar), and 1% water vapor (H2O), carbon dioxide (CO2), ozone (O3), neon (Ne) and other trace gases. Approximately 56% of the surface is covered in oceans of liquid water: average tidal ranges exceed 0.3m. Mean surface temperature: 8°C. The climate is rated as Temperate-Cool and experiences major seasonal changes during the local year. The atmosphere is dynamic and strong weather systems driven by the star and the seas surge across the globe.
Satellite
Arodir retains a single natural satellite, a cratered vacuum worldlet named Pashan:
- (X-Ia) Pashan (UWP Y100000-0, orbiting at 15 Diameters/105,000 km)
Mainworld Geography and Topography
Total surface area: 155 million km², Water surface area: 87 million km², Land surface area: 68 million km².
Native Lifeforms
Alzana-Arodir System
The very warm exotic atmosphere hospitable world lying in orbital position (X-I) has extensive, abundant native life, with complex organisms with bizarre biochemistries inhabiting every ecological niche. Their metabolic functions drive the process of atmospheric renewal.
Arodir, the mainworld, has extensive, abundant native life, with complex organisms inhabiting every ecological niche. Their metabolic functions drive the process of atmospheric renewal.
No other world in the system is known to have native life.
History & Background (Dossier)
No information yet available.
World starport
Arodir has a Class D Starport, a poor quality installation which has few of the 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 only a downport, unless this is a trade port or system with an hostile environment mainworld.
World technology level
Arodir possesses a Technology Level of TL–5.
- Common Communication technologies for this TL include: Telephone, radio, and television.
- Common Power Generation technologies for this TL include: Electricity, hydrocarbon internal combustion, and the most fundamental atomic energy.
- Common Transportation technologies for this TL include:
- Land: Ground cars or automobiles and tracked vehicles.
- Water: Large ships and submersibles with steel hulls.
- Air: Early aircraft including seaplanes and very early unmanned rockets.
World government
Arodir is governed by a Civil Service Bureaucracy. The leadership of the government is another form (democracy, dictatorship, oligarchy), but the bureaucracy leadership influences policy. The government leadership may select the bureaucracy leadership, but not its membership. Usually the governmental leadership is divided, or incapable of setting policy and the bureaucracy provides a stabilizing influence. The bureaucracy may be the full government bureaucracy or a section with limited jurisdiction but considerable influence like the military.
