Mainworld Data

Rubaiyat is a large moon of the gas giant Khayyam, which revolves around the M0 primary. It is large enough to retain a trace atmosphere. The gas giant lies outside of the life zone for this star, which is fortuitous, as the red dwarf is more unstable than most its size, shedding radiation bursts at irregular intervals.

Mainworld Geography & Topography

Rubaiyat has active tectonics as the result of tidal stretching from its gas giant. As a result, the surface is covered with mountain ranges interspersed with worn impact craters.

World Demographics

Humaniti 100%

World Culture

This mining culture is very much a progressive and open one. The emphasis is on working hard, earning money, and spending it on enjoying life. There is a strong "free love" subculture here, and they advertise. Risk taking and early death are considered admirable goals by many.

The abundant superheavy elements being mined are extremely valuable, but most are highly radioactive. While the safety equipment is modern and professionally used, the dangers here are real.

World Language/s

Anglic

Urbanization

The Starport forms a nexus for the handful of mining camps on the northern hemisphere. There is a nascent startown, called Guildhall, whose primary industry is recreation. Be advised that fun or not, it can be a little rough.
