Jump map from Travellermap.com

Hirida 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 Stanter Subsector of Halcyon Sector.

• Hirida is a Voluntarily Regressive World

System data

The Hirida system contains two separate systems lying approximately 900 AU apart.

Hirida-Rath system

Rath, designated the primary, is an ordinary orange main sequence star. It has a luminosity of 0.42 Sols, a mass of 0.825 Sols and a diameter of 1.263 million km. The inner system consists of (I, II) two small rocky worlds. (III) Hirida orbits within the habitable zone and is designated the mainworld. (IV) a small rocky world, (V, VI) two small gas giants, and (VII) a final outer icy vacuum world form the outer zone. All of the gas giants and most of the rocky worlds retain families of satellites.

Mainworld data

(III) Hirida is designated the mainworld. It orbits Rath at a mean distance of 0.72 AU (107.7 million km), it has an orbital period of 53 days 22 hours, and a rotation period of 68.75 hours. The axial tilt is 13 degrees. Hirida has a diameter of 8,199 km, a density of 5.41 g/cm³, and a surface gravity of 0.62 G. Its atmosphere is rated as Thin, with a mean surface pressure of 0.58 bar and a composition of 80% nitrogen, 19% oxygen, and 1% argon, carbon dioxide, neon and other trace gases. Approximately 63% of the surface is covered in oceans of liquid water: average tidal ranges are around 0.25m. Mean surface temperature: 19°C. The atmosphere is active and violent weather systems powered by the oceans and the star cross the globe. The climate is seasonal and weather patterns follow regular cycles during the local year.

Mainworld geography and topography

Hirida's hydrosphere, the Circle Sea, is concentrated into a broad band around the equator. The northern and southern poles are each dominated by huge continents (named Nord and Sude respectively) that are barren at their centers but have thriving ecosystems around their coastal fringes. The oceans are dotted with lush subcontinental islands and archipelagos: the largest of the southern islands, Juniper, is the site of the main settlement.

Native lifeforms

Extensive native life. Native flora tends to have circular foliage that is typically a greenish-purple colour. Native fauna follows the general body pattern HBS-T-AN-LL-T, with a skeleton interior, ichor fluids, and covered in fine scales.

Quine System

Quine, designated the companion, is an ordinary orange main sequence star. It has a luminosity of 0.352 Sols, a mass of 0.774 Sols and a diameter of 1.168 million km. The inner system consists of (II) a dense stony planetoid belt – orbital position (I) is empty. (III) Kavanagh, a rocky standard atmosphere world orbits in the habitable zone. The outer zone consists of (IV) a large gas giant, (V) a small ringed gas giant, (VI) a sparse icy planetoid belt, and (VI) a final large exotic atmosphere world. All of the gas giants and most of the rocky worlds retain families of satellites.

History & Background (Dossier)

No information yet available.

World starport

Hirida 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

Hirida possesses a Technology Level of TL–4.

• Common Communication technologies for this TL include: Telephone and telegraphs, widespread printing.
• Common Power Generation technologies for this TL include: Early electricity, hydrocarbon internal combustion.
• Common Transportation technologies for this TL include:
  • Land: Trains and early automobiles.
  • Water: Clippers and steam ships.
  • Air: Dirigibles, balloons, very basic rockets.

World government

Hirida 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.
