==== (III) Knyth ====
(III) Knyth is designated the [[mainworld]]. It orbits Forch at a mean distance of 0.64 AU (95.8 million km), within the [[habitable zone]]. It has an orbital period of 188 days 22 hours and a rotation period of 20.5 hours. The axial tilt is 13 degrees. Knyth has a diameter of 12,293 km, a density of 4.74 g/cm³, and a surface gravity of 0.83 G. The world is geologically active. Its atmosphere is rated as [[Thin atmosphere|Thin]], [[Tainted atmosphere|Tainted]], with a mean surface pressure of 0.44 bar and a composition of 68% nitrogen (N<sub><small>2</small></sub>), 31% oxygen (O<sub><small>2</small></sub>), and 1% argon (Ar), water vapor (H<sub><small>2</small></sub>O), carbon dioxide (CO<sub><small>2</small></sub>), ozone (O<sub><small>3</small></sub>), neon (Ne) and other trace gases. The [[Tainted atmosphere|taint]] is caused by the high percentage of atmospheric oxygen. Approximately 88% of the surface is covered in oceans of liquid water: average tidal ranges exceed 0.75m. Mean surface temperature: 8°C. The [[Fringian_Variant_System_Description#Planetary_Climate|climate]] is rated as Temperate-Cool and experiences minor seasonal changes during the local year. The atmosphere is dynamic and powerful weather systems driven by the star and the oceans sweep across the globe.
