Jaradin is a non-agricultural, preindustrial, and moderate population icy world with over a hundred million, but not yet at a billion sophonts in population.
- Its surface is ice-capped with little or no atmosphere and nearly all of its water frozen.
- It is unable to produce quality foodstuffs and must import them.
- It is a world working toward being an industrial powerhouse but lacks an adequate workforce to do so. It must now import many of its manufactured and high tech goods.
- It is a member of the Unity of Sed in the Cradle Subsector of Halcyon Sector, which is part of the Distant Fringe.

System Data
Memmeset-Jaradin System
The primary is Memmeset, 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) Botcha, a ringed large gas giant: (IIIc) Jaradin is its outer moon and is designated the mainworld, (II) a dense icy planetoid belt, (III) a very thin atmosphere radworld, (IV) an exotic atmosphere bigworld, and (V) a vacuum iceworld form the outer system. Many of the worlds retain satellites.
Vorgon Subsystem
The companion is Vorgon, a dim red main sequence star lying some 4,740 from Memmeset. It has a luminosity of 0.0025 Sols, a mass of 0.244 Sols, and a diameter of 334,000 km. (I) a trace atmosphere worldlet, (II) a vacuum iceworld, (III) an exotic atmosphere bigworld, (IV) a vacuum iceworld, and (V) a sparse icy planetoid belt form the outer system. Many of the worlds retain satellites.
(I) Botcha
(I) Botcha is a ringed large gas giant that orbits Memmeset at a mean distance of 0.21 AU (31.4 million km), within the outer system, and has an orbital period of 56 days 0 hours. It has a diameter of 116,000 km and an atmosphere consisting of 90% hydrogen (H2), 10% helium (He), and less than 1% methane (CH4), carbon monoxide (CO), ammonia (NH3), water vapor (H2O) and other trace gases. It is a heavily banded brown-tan color with spectacular polar aurora. It retains a family of four major satellites.
Satellites
Botcha retains a broad ring system and a family of four major satellites:
- (Ir) Ring System (UWP YR00000-0, extending to 3 Diameters/350,000 km)
- (Ia) Vas (UWP H100000-0, orbiting at 7 Diameters/810,000 km)
- (Ib) Jaradin (designated the mainworld, orbiting at 12 Diameters/1.39 million km)
- (Ic) Cumbo (UWP F3A0467-B, orbiting at 15 Diameters/1.74 million km)
- (Id) Probos (UWP HS00000-0, orbiting at 20 Diameters/2.32 million km)
Mainworld Data
(Ib) Jaradin
(Ib) Jaradin is the second of the four major moons of (I) Botcha and is designated the mainworld. It orbits its parent world at a mean distance of 12 Diameters (1.39 million km) and has an orbital period of 38 days 18.5 hours: it is tidally locked to Botcha. The axial tilt is 4 degrees relative to Botcha. Jejant has a diameter 4,658 km, a density of 4.33 g/cm³, and a surface gravity of 0.29 G. Tidal stresses generated by the gravitational pull of Botcha cause regular geological activity. Its atmosphere is rated as Trace, with a mean surface pressure of 0.07 bar and a composition of 79% carbon dioxide (CO2), 19% nitrogen (N2), 1% argon (Ar), and 1% water vapor (H2O), abiotic oxygen (O2), ozone (O3), xenon (Xe), neon (Ne), and other trace gases. Approximately 11% of the surface is covered in sheets of water-ice. Mean surface temperature: -43°C. The climate is rated as Cold and is static, with no seasonal changes during the local year. The atmosphere is ethereal and weak weather systems driven by the star ghost across the globe.
Mainworld Geography and Topography
Total surface area: 68 million km², Land surface area: 60.5 million km², Water surface area: 7.5 million km².
Native Lifeforms
Memmeset-Jaradin System
No world in the system is known to have native life.

No world in the subsystem is known to have native life.
History & Background (Dossier)
- A former member of the Corolian Jurisdicture.
World starport
Jaradin has a Class A Starport, an excellent quality installation which includes all the expected amenities including refined fuel for starships, brokerage services for passengers and cargo, and a variety of ship provisions. There is a shipyard capable of doing annual maintenance, overhauls and other kinds of repair, and construction of both starships and non-starships. Most ports of this classification have both a Highport and a Downport.
- War footing (fanaticism modifier x3.5).
Naval Support Capacity: 1,050,000 dTons
Facilities
Port facilities within the system include:
World technology level
Jaradin possesses a Technology Level of TL–12 or TL-C in Hexadecimal Notation.
- Common Communication technologies for this TL include: Holovision, Personal Global Communications, and advanced Translators.
- Common Power Generation technologies for this TL include: Increasingly advanced fusion plants and advanced fuel cells.
- Common Transportation technologies for this TL include:
- Land, Water & Air: Personal G-Tubes and advanced gravcraft.
- Space: Advanced interplanetary spacecraft (System Craft).
- FTL: Jump Drive-3.
- FTL Notes: The limitations on DeVoss Drives – the so called Jump-2 Barrier – restricts jump drive performance to Jump-1 or jump-2 only.
World government
Jaradin 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.
World Military
Local Defense Forces (approximately 1.2 million personnel).
Unity of Sed militia forces (approximately 9 million personnel).
