Betrix is an icy, nonindustrial vacuum world, warranting hazardous environment precautions.
- Its surface is ice-capped with little or no atmosphere and nearly all of its water frozen.
- It requires extensive imports of outside technology to maintain a modern, star-faring society.
- It is a Non-Aligned world dominated by human sophonts located in the Velous Subsector of Far Home Sector.
Astrography and Planetology
This star system is detailed using the Fringian Variant System Description.
- Betrix is considered to be a component of the "Missing Link" Star Lane.

System Data
Aleph-Betrix System
The primary is Aleph, a tiny dwarf star. It has a luminosity of 0.00003 Sols, a mass of 1.11 Sols, and a diameter of 8,450 km. (I) a vacuum worldlet (II) a sparse icy planetoid belt, (III) Tertion, a ringed small gas giant: Betrix is its only satellite, and (IV) a vacuum iceworld form the outer system. Only the gas giant retains a satellite.
Omigus Subsystem
The companion is Omigus, a tiny dwarf star lying approximately 17,170 AU from Aleph. It has a luminosity of 0.00003 Sols, a mass of 1.11 Sols, and a diameter of 8,420 km. (I-I) a vacuum worldlet, (I-II) a vacuum worldlet, (II) a sparse icy planetoid belt, and (III) a small ice giant form the outer system. Only the gas giant retains a satellite.
(III) Tertion
(III) Tertion is a ringed small gas giant that orbits Aleph at a mean distance of 0.73 AU (109.2 million km), within the outer system, and has an orbital period of 216 days 5 hours. It has a diameter of 22,000 km and an atmosphere consisting of 93% hydrogen (H2), 7% helium (He), and less than 1% methane (CH4), carbon monoxide (CO), ammonia (NH3), water vapor (H2O) and other trace gases. It is a mottled pale blue color streaked with narrow white clouds. It retains a single major satellite.
Satellite
Tertion retains a narrow dark ring system and one major satellite:
- (IIIr) Ring System (UWP YR00000-0, extending to 1 Diameter/25,000 km)
- (IIIa) Betrix (designated the mainworld, orbiting at 6 Diameters/135,000 km)
Mainworld Data
(IIIa) Betrix
(IIIa) Betrix is the only major moon of (III) Tertion and is designated the mainworld. It orbits its parent world at a mean distance of 6 diameters (135,000 km), with an orbital period of 9 days 9 hours: it is tidally locked to Tertion. The axial tilt is 4 degrees relative to Tertion. Betrix has a diameter of 2,951 km, a density of 5.88 g/cm³ and a surface gravity of 0.22 G. Tidal stresses generated by the gravitational pull of Tertion cause frequent geological activity. The atmosphere is rated as Vacuum. Mean surface temperature: -233°C.
Mainworld Geography and Topography
Total surface area: 27.3 million km².
Native Lifeforms
Aleph-Betrix System
No world in the system is known to have native life.
Omigus Subsystem
No world in the subsystem is known to have native life.
History & Background (Dossier)
No information yet available.
World starport
Betrix has a Class C Starport, an average quality installation which includes amenities including unrefined fuel for starships, some brokerage services for passengers and cargo, and a variety of ship provisions. There is a shipyard capable of doing maintenance and other kinds of repair. Ports of this classification generally have only a downport, unless this is a trade port or system with an hostile environment mainworld.
World technology level
Betrix possesses a Technology Level of TL–9.
- Common Communication technologies for this TL include: Fiber optics and satellite communication and data networks.
- Common Power Generation technologies for this TL include: Early fusion power.
- Common Transportation technologies for this TL include:
- Land: Ultra high-speed trains and early grav vehicles.
- Water: High efficiency sailcraft, multihulled seacraft, improved artificial gills.
- Air: Tiltrotorcraft, exotic VTOL's, PARWIG, and rocket-assisted suborbitals.
- Space: SSTO spacecraft, early military spacecraft (System Craft), and interstellar STL starships
- FTL: Prototype Jump Drive-1.
World government
Betrix is governed by Self-Perpetuating Oligarchy. A single family or small group provides the leadership and important positions in the government. These positions are inherited by member of the group or their family members. The organization may be monarchy, with titles passed to family members. Or a plutocracy where inheritance of the family fortune includes government position. Or the organization may be more typical organization with positions of power inherited.
