Observatory is an icy, nonindustrial vacuum world, warranting hazardous environment precautions.
- Its surface is ice-capped with little or no atmosphere and nearly all of its water frozen.
- It requires extensive imports of outside technology to maintain a modern, star-faring society.
- It is a Non-Aligned world dominated by human sophonts located in the Esser Subsector of Divide Sector.
Astrography and Planetology
This star system is detailed using the Fringian Variant System Description.
- Observatory is the location of the Augustus Bright Deep Space Observation Array, a facility owned and operated by the University of Selasia.

System Data
Huygen-Observatory System
The primary is Huygen, a dim red main sequence star. It has a luminosity of 0.004 Sols, a mass of 0.273 Sols, and a diameter of 414,000 km. (I) a vacuum worldlet, (II) a trace atmosphere bigworld, (IV) a vacuum iceworld, and (V) Observatory, designated the mainworld, form the outer system – orbital position (III) is empty. Only the bigworld retains a satellite.
Mainworld Data
(V) Observatory
(V) Observatory is designated the mainworld and orbits Huygen at a mean distance of 2.6 AU (389 million km), within the habitable zone. It has an orbital period of 8 years 9 days and a rotation period of 133 hours. The axial tilt is 2 degrees. Observatory has a diameter of 2,955 km, a density of 4.35 g/cm³, and a surface gravity of 0.18 G. The atmosphere is rated as vacuum. Approximately 21% of the surface is covered in a crust of water-ice. Mean surface temperature: -233°C.
Mainworld Geography and Topography
Total surface area: 27.5 million km², Land surface area: 21.7 million km², Ice surface area: 5.8 million km².
Native Lifeforms
No world in the system is known to have native life.
History & Background (Dossier)
No information yet available.
World starport
Observatory 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
Observatory possesses a Technology Level of TL–11 or TL-B 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 & Air: Personal G-Tubes and advanced gravcraft.
- Space: Advanced interplanetary spacecraft (System Craft).
- FTL: Jump Drive-2.
World government
Observatory is governed by a Feudal Technocracy. Society divides itself based on the technical requirements of the society. Each of these functions are granted as a fief to an individual or group. Leadership of these fiefs determines the head of the government.
