System data

The primary is Gemadar, an ordinary white main sequence star. It has a luminosity of 2.584 Sols, a mass of 1.196 Sols and a diameter of 1.742 million km. It has a family of (I) a large hot gas giant, and (IV) a sparse rocky planetoid belt – orbital positions (II) and (III) are empty. (V) Dhon orbits within the habitable zone and is designated the mainworld. (VI) a thin atmosphere world, (VII) an exotic atmosphere world, (VIII, IX) two small gas giants, (X, XI, XII) three small icy vacuum worlds, and (XIII) a sparse icy planetoid belt form the outer system. The outer gas giants and many of the other worlds within the system retain satellites.

Mainworld Data

(V) Dhon is designated the mainworld. It orbits Gemadar at a mean distance of 1.55 AU (232 million km), it has an orbital period of 644 days 15 hours, and a rotation period of 31.25 hours. The axial tilt is 11.5 degrees. Dhon has a diameter of 10,508 km, a density of 6.22 g/cm³, and a surface gravity of 0.86 G. Its atmosphere is rated as Dense, with a mean surface pressure of 2.26 bar and a composition of 79% nitrogen, 20% oxygen, and 1% argon, carbon dioxide, neon and other trace gases. Approximately 46% of the surface is covered in seas of liquid water: average tidal ranges exceed 0.5m. Mean surface temperature: 24°C. The atmosphere is dynamic and powerful weather systems, driven by the star and the oceans, sweep across the globe. The climate is seasonal and weather patterns follow regular cycles during the local year.

Satellites:

(V) Dhon retains two natural satellites, a small vacuum world named Maibey and a thin atmosphere world named Dehuu:

(Va) Maibey (G300434-9, orbiting at 20 Diameters/210,000 km)

(Vb) Dehuu (G554535-8, orbiting at 35 Diameters/368,000 km).

Mainworld Geography & Topography

Total surface area: 347 million km², Land surface area: 177 million km², Water surface area: 170 million km². Much of the northern hemisphere is a single large continent with occasional seas and large lakes, while much of the southern hemisphere is open ocean dotted with large islands and archipelagos. Equatorial and temperate areas are heavily forested.

Native Lifeforms
