Kashar is a high-population, industrial world with a billion or more sophonts in population size.
- As an industrial world, this planet has well-developed manufacturing and processing industries. Manufactured goods are a major export item.
- Its economy is rapidly growing and living conditions are expected to rapidly improve barring outside forces.
- It is a Non-Aligned world dominated by human sophonts located in the Veesene Subsector of Halcyon Sector.
- This world-system hosts a Military Base, usually associated with military ground forces, which may be located on or off-world.
Astrography and Planetology
This star system is detailed using the Fringian Variant System Description.
- This world lies on the Barabek Loop Star Lane.

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.
Native lifeforms
Kashar has extensive, abundant native life, with organisms inhabiting every ecological niche. Their metabolic functions drive the process of atmospheric renewal.
History & Background (Dossier)
No information yet available.
World starport
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 technology level
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.
World government
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.
