Pador is an industrial, high-population desert hellworld, with a billion or more sophonts struggling to survive in a inhospitable environment.
- Hellworlds often offer daily, and sometimes hourly, life-threatening situations to their inhabitants.
- This world has no free-standing water.
- As an industrial world, this planet has well-developed manufacturing and processing industries. Manufactured goods are a major export item.
- This is a "high technology" world with technology achievements at, near, or over technology standards for Charted Space.
- It is a Non-Aligned world dominated by human sophonts located in the Orret Subsector of Far Home Sector.
- This world-system hosts a Military Base, usually associated with military ground forces, which may be located on or off-world.
- Pador directly controls three worlds:

System Data
Zamuz-Pador System
The primary is Zamuz, an ordinary orange main sequence star. It has a luminosity of 0.352 Sols, a mass of 0.774 Sols, and a diameter of 1.168 million km. The inner system consists of (I) a very thin atmosphere inner world, and (II) a corrosive atmosphere inferno world. (III) Pador orbits within the habitable zone and is designated the mainworld. (IV) a thin atmosphere hospitable world, and (V) a small gas giant form the outer system. Many of the worlds retain satellites.
Thless Subsystem
The companion is Thless, a magenta-coloured L-type brown dwarf lying approximately 1200 AU from Zamuz. It is not luminous, it has a mass of 0.063 Sols and a diameter of 60,000 km. Thless retains no planetary bodies.
Mainworld Data
(III) Pador
(III) Pador is designated the mainworld. It orbits Zamuz at a mean distance of 0.74 AU (110.7 million km), within the habitable zone. It has an orbital period of 264 days 7 hours and a rotation period of 33.4 hours. The axial tilt is 23 degrees. Pador has a diameter of 8,568 km, a density of 6.61 g/cm³, and a surface gravity of 0.80 G. The world is geologically active. Its atmosphere is rated as Standard, Tainted, with a mean surface pressure of 1.02 bar and a composition of 79% nitrogen, 20% oxygen, and 1% argon, carbon dioxide, neon and other trace gases. The atmospheric taint is caused by the extremely low humidity: breathing the air will cause respiratory ailments such as asthma, bronchitis, sinusitis, blindness, and respiratory failure, as well as dehydration through the depletion of body fluids during respiration. Approximately 0.03% of the surface is covered in lakes of liquid water. Mean surface temperature: 8°C. The atmosphere is dynamic and powerful weather systems driven by the star and the seas sweep across the globe. The climate is seasonal.
Satellites
Pador retains two natural satellites, a cratered vacuum worldlet named Erwin and a corrosive atmosphere inferno world named Postule:
- (IIIa) Erwin (UWP F200369-B, orbiting at 35 Diameters/300,000 km)
- (IIIb) Postule (UWP H3B0000-0, orbiting at 40 Diameters/345,000 km)
Mainworld Geography & Topography
Total surface area: 231 million km², Land surface area: 224 million km², Water surface area: 7 million km². The surface of Pador is divided into Highland regions (equivalent to continental landmasses) and Lowland regions (equivalent to oceanic basins) - the ratio is approximately 40% highland to 60% lowland.
Native Lifeforms
Pador has extensive, abundant native life, with organisms inhabiting every ecological niche. Their metabolic functions drive the process of atmospheric renewal. Although Pador is technically a desert world (there is no free-standing surface water) the whole of the surface is heavily vegetated. Only the frigid polar zones truly resemble a desert. There are distinct differences between the flora and fauna native to Highland regions and Lowland regions.
History & Background / Dossier
Pador is a long-settled system in the rimward half of Far Home Sector. It has been inhabited for millennia and has a population of 5 billion. It is self-sufficient in food, it is industrialised, and is one of the most technologically advanced worlds within the Distant Fringe. Padoran-built starships are highly sought after.
World Starport
Pador has a Class A Starport, an excellent 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 other kinds of repair, and construction of both starships and non-starships. Most ports of this classification have both a Highport and a Downport.
- Peace footing (government modifier x1.2). Port Capacity: 6,000,000 dTons
Pador is the premier builder of starships within the Distant Fringe. All other manufacturers and ports measure themselves against Padori shipyards.
World Technology Level
Pador possesses a Technology Level of TL–12 or TL-C 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-3.
World Government
Pador 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.
