System data

Mani-Frant System

The primary is Mani, an ordinary red main sequence star. It has a luminosity of 0.0202 Sols, a mass of 0.3942 Sols, and a diameter of 604,000 km. (I) Frant, designated the mainworld, (II) a vacuum iceworld, and (III) a very thin atmosphere hospitable world form the inner part of the outer zone – orbital positions (IV) through (VIII) are unavailable due to the presence of the companion star. (IX) a small ice giant, (X) a ringed large gas giant, and (XI) an exotic atmosphere bigworld form the outer part of the outer system. Many of the worlds retain satellites.

Obess Subsystem

The companion is Obess, a dim red subdwarf star that orbits Mani at 3.08 AU (orbital position (VI), 172 million km) and has an orbital period of 1 year 352 days. It has a luminosity of 0.00103 Sols, a mass of 0.081 Sols, and a diameter of 109,000 km. (I) a vacuum iceworld, (II) a thin atmosphere bigworld, and (III) a ringed small gas giant form the outer system. The gas giant retains satellites.

Mainworld Data

(I) Frant

(I) Frant is designated the mainworld. It orbits primary at a mean distance of 0.19 AU (28.4 million km), within the outer zone. It has an orbital period of X days XX hours: it is tidally locked to primary. The axial tilt is 14 degrees. Frant has a diameter of 8,077 km, a density of 5.38 g/cm³, and a surface gravity of 0.62 G. The world is geologically active. Its atmosphere is rated as Very Thin, with a mean surface pressure of 0.31 bar and a composition of 81% nitrogen, 18% oxygen, and 1% argon, water vapour, carbon dioxide, neon and other trace gases. Approximately 13% of the surface is covered in seas of liquid water: average tidal ranges exceed 0.1m. Mean surface temperature: -63°C. The atmosphere is sluggish and weak weather systems driven by the star cross the globe. The climate is seasonal.

Mainworld geography and topography

Total surface area: 205 million km², Land surface area: 178 million km², Water surface area: 27 million km².

World starport

Frant 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

Frant possesses a Technology Level of TL–10 or TL-A in Hexadecimal Notation.

World government

Frant has no central government for the world, an Anarchy. The largest governmental structure would be a family, tribe, or single clan. The largest group will be between 50 and 100 individuals, and there may be dozens to hundreds of them. This governmental structure can be stable over long periods of time if the population remains small or geographically separated.
