System data

The primary is Sangax, a dim red main sequence star. It has a luminosity of 0.0025 Sols, a mass of 0.244 Sols and a diameter of 334,000 km. (I) Cleistra is nominated the mainworld; it and (II), an exotic atmosphere world, form the outer system. Neither world retains satellites.

Mainworld data

(I) Cleistra is designated the mainworld. It orbits Sangax at a mean distance of 0.18 AU (27 million km), it has an orbital period of 56 days 11 hours and a rotation period 49 days 16 hours. The axial tilt is 90 degrees: the worlds northern pole points towards the star and it wobbles as it rotates. Cleistra has a diameter of 3,516 km, a density of 4.88 g/cm³, and a surface gravity of 0.24 G. The tidal effects of Sangax heat the interior of the world and cause seismic activity. Its atmosphere is rated as Very Thin, Tainted, with a mean surface pressure of 0.23 bar and a composition of 65% nitrogen, 19% carbon dioxide, 15% oxygen, and 1% argon, neon and other trace gases. Approximately 19% of the surface is covered in a crust of water-ice and frozen gases, though geologically active regions may have small areas of liquid water. Mean surface temperature: -158°C. The atmosphere is extremely sluggish and small weather systems, driven by the star, affect regions of the globe. Weather patterns closely match stellar cycles within the star.

Mainworld geography and topography

Total surface area: 39.9 million km², Land surface area: 32.3 million km², Ice coverage: 7.6 million km². Polarbright mountains, Everdark mountains, the Dawnlands, Murtaugh's Crater.

World starport

Cleistra 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.
