Hydrosphere

The Hydrosphere represents (Hydrographics) or the liquid content of a world, usually water on a conventional life-supporting world (planet).

• For normal worlds, the hydrosphere will be water; on other worlds with exotic, corrosive, or insidious atmospheres, it may be other liquids or fluids such as ammonia.

Description (Specifications)

Some worlds with vacuum atmospheres may have hydrographic percentages greater than 0 indicating that the world has ice caps present; the water will not be freestanding liquid. A Desert World may have up to 4% free-standing water and still be considered a Desert World. Conversely, a Water World may have a 95% hydrosphere and still be considered a Water World.
