Kell is a low-population hellworld with a population less than 10,000 sophonts struggling to survive in an inhospitable environment .
- Hellworlds often offer daily, and sometimes even hourly, life-threatening situations to their inhabitants.
- It is a Non-Aligned world dominated by human sophonts located in the Liradi Subsector of Gulf Sector.

System data
The system primary is Volen, an ordinary orange main sequence star. It has a luminosity of 0.61 Sols, a mass of 0.773 Sols and a diameter of 1.167 million km. Its inner system consists of (I) a rocky vacuum world – orbital position (II) is empty. (III) Kell orbits within the habitable zone and is designated the mainworld. (IV) a small gas giant, (V) a rocky vacuum world, and (VI) an icy thin atmosphere world form the outer system. Kell, the gas giant and the large icy world retain satellites.
(III) Kell
(III) Kell is designated the mainworld. It orbits Volen at a mean distance of 0.65 AU (97.2 million km), it has an orbital period of 217 days 15 hours and a rotation period 12 days 9 hours. The axial tilt is 7 degrees. Pastin has a diameter of 10,380 km, a density of 5.16 g/cm³, and a surface gravity of 0.76 G. Its atmosphere is rated as Exotic, with a mean surface pressure of 16.5 bar and a composition of 95% nitrogen, 3% carbon dioxide, 1% methane, 1% ethane, acetylene, propane and other trace gases. The surface is entirely dry. Mean surface temperature: 115°C. The atmosphere is dynamic and powerful weather systems, driven by the star, sweep across the globe.
