System Data

Epilus-Kashar System

The primary is Epilus, an ordinary white main sequence star. It has a luminosity of 6.26 Sols, a mass of 1.54 Sols, and a diameter of 2.198 million km. The inner system consists of (II) a vacuum inner world, (III) a corrosive atmosphere inferno world, and (V) a thin atmosphere hospitable world – orbital positions (I) and (IV) are empty. (VI) Kashar orbits within the habitable zone and is designated the mainworld. (VII) a large gas giant, and (VIII) a ringed small gas giant form the outer system. Many of the worlds retain satellites.

Varmak Subsystem

The companion is Varmak, a dim dwarf star that lies approximately 2300 AU from Epilus. It has a luminosity of 0.00003 Sols, a mass of 1.11 Sols, and a diameter of 8,500 km. It retains no planetary bodies.

Mainworld Data

(VI) Kashar

(VI) Kashar is designated the mainworld. It orbits Epilus at a mean distance of 2.71 AU (405.4 million km), within the habitable zone. It has an orbital period of 3 years 217 days and a rotation period of 21.5 hours. The axial tilt is 14 degrees. Kashar has a diameter of 14,623 km, a density of 5.78 g/cm³, and a surface gravity of 1.20 G. The world is geologically active. Its atmosphere is rated as Standard, Tainted, with a mean surface pressure of 1.32 bar and a composition of 77% nitrogen, 22% oxygen, and 1% argon, water vapour, carbon dioxide, neon and other trace gases. The atmospheric taint is caused by allergenic spores and pollens of organic origin. Approximately 79% of the surface is covered in oceans of liquid water: average tidal ranges exceed 0.5m. Mean surface temperature: 23°C. The atmosphere is active and strong weather systems driven by the star and the oceans sweep across the globe. The climate is seasonal.

Satellite

Kashar retains a single natural satellite, a very thin atmosphere radworld named Supari:

(VIa) Supari (UWP Y322000-0, orbiting at 12 Diameters/180,000 km)

Mainworld geography and topography

Total surface area: 672 million km², Water surface area: 531 million km², Land surface area: 141 million km².

UWP Summary

Mainworld Size (S)

This world is a Big World between 13,600km and 15,200km in diameter. The world has a standard gravity between 1G and 1.3G. The horizon will appear about 5.4km away. Vessels with only 1G of thrust should avoid landing on this world.

Mainworld Atmosphere (A)

This world has a pressure of 0.71 to 1.49 atmospheres. While a Standard Atmosphere does not require survival gear this atmosphere also contains an unusual taint such as such as disease, a hazardous gas mix, pollutants, or sulfur compounds which requires the use of a Filter Mask. Some taints may require more protective equipment. TL–3 or more advanced survival gear is required to settle this world.

Mainworld Hydrosphere (H)

This world has 75-85% of its surface covered by liquid water with a few large continents and extensive islands. Wilderness refueling is possible.

Native lifeforms

Kashar has extensive, abundant native life, with organisms inhabiting every ecological niche. Their metabolic functions drive the process of atmospheric renewal. Some of the heterotrophic consumers here use inflatable sacs and colorful neon pigmented epidermis for territorial threat displays.

History & Background (Dossier)

No information yet available.

World Starport (Sp)

Kashar has a Class B Starport, a good 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 most kinds of repair, and construction of non-starships. Most ports of this classification have both a Highport and a Downport.

World Population (P)

This world has a population of 1,000,000,000 sophonts (billions).

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

World Demographics

Humaniti, population 95%

• Other, population 5%

World Government (G)

Kashar is governed by a Charismatic Dictatorship. Charismatic governments justify their ability to rule by simply asserting their right to rule. Charismatic dictatorships are young governments, coming as a recent change and rely on the leader(s) to supply head of government.

Head of State

The First Equal, beneficent leader of the Kashari and the embodiment of power on Kashar.

Governmental Structure

The Executive, Legislative and Judicial Branches operate under the direct oversight of the First Equal. She delegates most of her duties to trusted, hand-picked underlings, who in turn run what are effectively private feudal kingdoms. The branches of government maintain heavily armed paramilitary security forces to protect their interests.

World Law Level (L)

This world 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).

World Technology Level (TL)

Kashar possesses a Technology Level of TL–10 or TL-A 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: Grav belts and maturing gravcraft.
  • Air: Greatly improved hybrid grav-aircraft.
  • Space: Improved interplanetary spacecraft (System Craft).
  • FTL: Jump Drive-1.
