Gomer (Ha 2914) is a nonindustrial world, that requires extensive imports of outside technology to maintain a modern, star-faring society.

  • In a technological universe, societies without industrial capability generally suffer as nearly all manufactured and high tech goods must be brought in at significant cost.
  • As a nonindustrial world, it requires extensive imports of outside technology to maintain a modern, star-faring society. The need to import most manufactured and high technology goods drives the price of these goods up in the open market.
  • It is a Non-Aligned world dominated by human sophonts located in the Abidal Subsector of Halcyon Sector.

System data[edit]

Holland-Gomer System[edit]

The system primary is Holland, an ordinary yellow main sequence star. It has a luminosity of 0.778 Sols, a mass of 0.96 Sols and a diameter of 1.3 million km. The inner system consists of (I) a vacuum worldlet, (II) a thin atmosphere hospitable world. (IIIa, IIIb) the Prinz-Gomer binary planet system orbits within the habitable zone: (IIIb) Gomer is designated as the mainworld. (IV) a dense stony planetoid belt, (V) a large gas giant, (VI) a ringed large gas giant, (VII) a trace atmosphere iceworld, (VIII) a vacuum iceworld, (IX) a small gas giant, and (X) a sparse icy planetoid belt form the outer system. Many of the worlds retain satellites.

(III) Prinz-Gomer Binary Planets[edit]

(IIIa) Prinz and (IIIb) Gomer, its companion world, orbit their barycenter at a mean separation of 555,000 km. The pair orbit Holland at 0.7 AU (103.5 million km), within the system's habitable zone, and have an orbital period around the primary of 75 days 18 hours.

(IIIa) Prinz[edit]

(IIIa) Prinz is the major component in the Prinz-Gomer binary planet system and has a UWP of H8B0000-0. It orbits Gomer at a mean separation of 555,000 km, with an orbital period of 79 days 14 hours and a rotation period of 34.75 hours. The axial tilt is 13 degrees. It has a diameter of 12,315 km, a density of 5.16 g/cm³ and a surface gravity of 0.9 G. Tidal stresses caused by the gravitational pull of Gomer cause occasional seismic activity. It retains an atmosphere rated as Corrosive, with a surface pressure of 335 bar and a composition of 93% carbon dioxide, 6% nitrogen, and 1% argon, water vapor, carbon monoxide, neon and other trace gases. Mean surface temperature: 220°C. The atmosphere is relatively turbulent and enormous storms roll across the world. The climate is seasonal.

Mainworld[edit]

(IIIb) Gomer[edit]

(IIIb) Gomer is the minor component in the Prinz-Gomer binary planet system and is designated the mainworld. It orbits Prinz at a mean separation of 555,000 km, with an orbital period of 79 days 14 hours and a rotation period of 35.5 hours. The axial tilt is 12 degrees. Gomer has a diameter of 9,948 km, a density of 6.41 g/cm³, and a surface gravity of 0.87 G. Tidal stresses caused by the gravitational pull of Prinz cause occasional seismic activity. Its atmosphere is rated as Very Thin, with a mean surface pressure of 0.39 bar and a composition of 75% nitrogen, 24% oxygen, and 1% argon, carbon dioxide, neon and other trace gases. Approximately 53% of the surface is covered in oceans of liquid water: average tidal ranges exceed 1m. Mean surface temperature: 28°C. The atmosphere is dynamic and weather systems, driven by the star and the oceans, sweep across the globe. The climate is seasonal.

Mainworld geography and topography[edit]

Total surface area: 311 million km², Land surface area: 165 million km², Water surface area: 146 million km².

Native lifeforms[edit]

Gomer's warm oceans teem with primitive native life, largely microscopic in size: the largest recorded lifeforms are primitive seabed worms measuring millimeters in length. The only native land lifeforms are photosynthetic algae. A variety of offworld flora have colonised the world through accidental introduction. The metabolic functions of the native organisms power the process of atmospheric renewal: they are gradually thickening the atmosphere and changing its composition.

History & Background (Dossier)[edit]

No information yet available.

World starport[edit]

Gomer (Ha 2914) 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[edit]

Gomer (Ha 2914) possesses a Technology Level of TL–8.

  • Common Communication technologies for this TL include: Fiber optics, improved telephones, and satellite communication and data networks.
  • Common Power Generation technologies for this TL include: Improved geothermal and improved batteries.
  • Common Transportation technologies for this TL include:
    • Land: Advanced automobiles.
    • Water: Triphibians and early artificial gills.
    • Air: Improved helicopters and hypersonic jets.
    • Space: Space shuttles, early space stations, and improved interplanetary spacecraft (System Craft).

World government[edit]

Gomer (Ha 2914) is governed by a Civil Service Bureaucracy. The leadership of the government is another form (democracy, dictatorship, oligarchy), but the bureaucracy leadership influences policy. The government leadership may select the bureaucracy leadership, but not its membership. Usually the governmental leadership is divided, or incapable of setting policy and the bureaucracy provides a stabilizing influence. The bureaucracy may be the full government bureaucracy or a section with limited jurisdiction but considerable influence like the military.
