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:
Description / Astrography & Planetology
This star system is detailed using the Fringian Variant System Description.
- This world lies on the Pador-Peset Spur Star Lane.
- The Pador system is a part of the Pador-Aredian Cluster.

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 (N2), 20% oxygen (O2), and 1% argon (Ar), carbon dioxide (CO2), ozone (O3), neon (Ne) and other trace gases. The taint is caused by the extremely low humidity. 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 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.
- 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
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.
