Jump map from Travellermap.com

Garth 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 Veesene Subsector of Halcyon Sector.

• Garth is a Voluntarily Regressive World

System Data

Ennis-Garth System

The primary is Ennis, an orange subgiant star. It has a luminosity of 4.578 Sols, a mass of 2.42 Sols, and a diameter of 4.87 million km. The inner system consists of (I) a vacuum worldlet, (II) a thin atmosphere radworld, (III) a very thin atmosphere inner world, and (IV) an exotic atmosphere inferno world. (V) Garth orbits within the habitable zone and is designated the mainworld. (VI) a sparse stony planetoid belt, (VII) a small gas giant, (VIII) a planetoid belt, (IX) a ringed large gas giant, and (X) a small ice giant form the outer system.

Tander Subsystem

The companion is Tander, a dim red subdwarf star that lies approximately 1450 AU from Ennis. It has a luminosity of 0.002 Sols, a mass of 0.104 Sols, and a diameter of 145,000 km. (I) a dense atmosphere stormworld, (II) a very thin atmosphere iceworld, (III) a sparse icy planetoid belt, (IV) a small gas giant, (V) a vacuum iceworld, and (VI) a ringed small giant form the outer system. Many of the worlds retain satellites.

Mainworld Data

(V) Garth

(V) Garth is designated the mainworld. It orbits Ennis at a mean distance of 1.53 AU (228.9 million km), within the habitable zone. It has an orbital period of 5 years 317 days and a rotation period of 31 hours. The axial tilt is 16 degrees. Garth has a diameter of 10,173 km, a density of 5.55 g/cm³, and a surface gravity of 0.80 G. The world is geologically active. Its atmosphere is rated as Thin, Tainted, with a mean surface pressure of 0.63 bar and a composition of 77% nitrogen, 22% oxygen, and 1% argon, water vapour, carbon dioxide, neon and other trace gases. The atmospheric taint is caused by thingy. Approximately 69% of the surface is covered in seas of liquid water: average tidal ranges exceed 0.25m. Mean surface temperature: 28°C. The atmosphere is dynamic and strong weather systems driven by the star and the seas sweep across the globe. The climate is seasonal.

Satellite

Garth retains a single natural satellite, a vacuum ice-capped worldlet:

(Va) Name (UWP H201000-0, orbiting at 12 Diameters/122,000 km)

Mainworld geography and topography

Total surface area: 325 million km², Land surface area: 101 million km², Water surface area: 224 million km².

Native lifeforms

Garth has extensive native life. Their metabolic functions power the process of atmospheric renewal.
