Jump map from Travellermap.com

Kansh is an industrial, high-population fluidic world with a billion or more sophonts in size.

• A fluid world has an oceanic geography of a liquid other than water such as ammonia, methane, hydrocarbons, or other exotic liquids.
• It is a Non-Aligned world dominated by human sophonts located in the Wyld Worlds Subsector of Yiklerzdanzh Sector.

• This is a frozen world, with a climate of extremely low temperatures.
• This world-system hosts a Military Base, usually associated with military ground forces, which may be located on or off-world.
• It is a system with incorrectly classified stars.

Description (Astrography & Planetology)

Kansh is a binary star system.

• Both are red main sequence stars.
  • They are close companions.

System Data

The worlds of the system have been partially surveyed. They consist of:

• The mainworld.
• An unknown number of secondary rocky worlds.
• x4 gas giants.

Mainworld Data

Kansh has a circumbinary orbit, circling around both stars and receiving their combined energy output.

The mainworld orbits within the outer system.

• It receives very low levels of stellar energy.

• The world orbits beyond the stars Jump Shadow.

Mainworld Size (S)

Kansh is a Meso World between 12,000km and 13,500km in diameter. The world has a standard gravity between 0.8G and 1.1G. The horizon will appear about 5.1km away. Vessels with 1G of thrust should check with local starport authorities before attempting to land using emergency power.

Mainworld Atmosphere (A)

Kansh has an Exotic Atmosphere and possesses an unusual gas mix which requires the use of oxygen tanks, but protective suits not necessary, but are recommended. TL–8 or more advanced survival gear is required to settle this world.

• It experiences frigid temperatures.

Mainworld Hydrosphere (H)

Kansh has 45-55% of its surface covered by liquid water or ice heavily tainted with other substances, which makes it dangerous, corrosive, or toxic. Wilderness refueling will be difficult. Water for the inhabitants needs to be imported and extensively recycled. These worlds may be Hell Worlds.

• The water on the surface may be unsuitable for use or consumption without extensive filtering and purification.
• Refining for fuel may cause issues with shipboard purification plants.

Mainworld Geography and Topography

No centrally held map of the world exists within AAB Library Data records.

History & Background (Dossier)

Misidentified Stars

The primary and secondary stars are listed on Imperial star charts as a white dwarf stellar remnant.

In actuality it is a red main sequence.

A number of systems within the subsector have stars that have been given incorrect stellar designations on star charts, almost always being misreported as white dwarfs.

• This consistent error appears to date back to the time of the Imperial First Survey.
• Some authorities claim that it was a deliberate large scale effort to discourage interest in the region.

Ongoing study by the IISS has revealed the error, but this occurred after the publication of the Imperial Second Survey.

• Verified data confirming the exact nature of the star would command premium prices.

World Starport (St)

Kansh 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.

• The world is host to a major Military Base.

World Population (P)

Kansh has a population of 3,000,000,000 sophonts (billions).

• High Population Worlds like this tend to have huge consumer markets.

World Technology Level (T)

Kansh possesses a Technology Level of TL–11 or TL-B 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-2.

World Government (G)

Kansh has a Balkanized Government. There is no central world government. The world has several governments competing for control of the world. These may be allies, cooperating, competitors, or at war with each other.

World Law (L)

Kansh has a high law level with laws covering many areas of interactions of people, corporations, and the government. A few worlds with this law level may be Amber Zones. Any interaction with the judicial system requires an Advocate trained in the local legal system. Law enforcement is present almost everywhere, either as people or via technology. Legal proceedings can take weeks to months to resolve and involve a dozen or more people. All objects specifically manufactured as weapons are typically regulated or prohibited (outside private residences or visiting starships).
