System Data

Molo-Loudom System

The primary is Molo, an ordinary red main sequence star. It has a luminosity of 0.0136 Sols, a mass of 0.3626 Sols, and a diameter of 551,000 km. (I-I) a vacuum worldlet, (I-II) Loudom, designated the mainworld, (I-III) an exotic atmosphere radworld, (II) a sparse icy planetoid belt, (III) a ringed large gas giant, (IV-I) a small gas giant, (IV-II) a ringed small ice giant, and (V) an exotic atmosphere bigworld form the outer system. Many of the worlds retain satellites.

Narusa Subsystem

The companion is Narusa, a dim red subdwarf star that lies at a mean distance of 2,370 AU from Molo. It has a luminosity of 0.00103 Sols, a mass of 0.081 Sols, and a diameter of 109,000 km. (I) a very thin atmosphere worldlet, (II-I) a vacuum worldlet, (II-II) a vacuum worldlet, (III) a trace atmosphere worldlet, (IV-I) a dense icy planetoid belt, (IV-II) a ringed small gas giant, (V) an exotic atmosphere bigworld, and (VI) a ringed large gas giant form the outer system. Many of the worlds retain satellites.

Mainworld Data

(I-II) Loudom

(I-II) Loudom is designated the mainworld. It orbits Molo at a mean distance of 0.31 AU (46.4 million km), within the habitable zone. It has an orbital period of 104 days 17 hours: it is tidally locked to Molo. The axial tilt is 5 degrees. Loudom has a diameter of 6,192 km, a density of 4.22 g/cm³, and a surface gravity of 0.37 G. Tidal stresses generated by the gravitational pull of Molo cause frequent geological activity. Its atmosphere is rated as Very Thin, Tainted, with a mean surface pressure of 0.21 bar and a composition of 89% nitrogen (N2), 10% abiotic oxygen (O2), and 1% argon (Ar), water vapor (H2O), carbon dioxide (CO2), neon (Ne) and other trace gases. The taint is caused by the low percentage of atmospheric oxygen. Approximately 28% of the surface is covered in sheets of water-ice and seas of water kept liquid by geothermal activity: average tidal ranges exceed 0.1m. Mean surface temperature: -33°C. The atmosphere is sluggish and weak weather systems driven by the star and the seas drift across the globe. The climate is static.

Mainworld Geography and Topography

Total surface area: 120 million km², Land surface area: 86 million km², Water surface area: 34 million km².

Native Lifeforms

No world in the Loudom system is known to have native life.

History & Background (Dossier)

No information yet available.

World starport

Loudom has a Class D Starport, a poor quality installation which has few of the expected amenities. There is unrefined fuel for starships and a limited variety of ship provisions. There is no shipyard of any kind, but there may be parts and technical support for doing minor services and repair. Ports of this classification generally consist of only a downport, unless this is a trade port or system with an hostile environment mainworld.

World technology level

Loudom possesses a Technology Level of TL–10 or TL-A in Hexadecimal Notation.

World government

Loudom has no central government for the world, an Anarchy. The largest governmental structure would be a family, tribe, or single clan. The largest group will be between 50 and 100 individuals, and there may be dozens to hundreds of them. This governmental structure can be stable over long periods of time if the population remains small or geographically separated.
