Wissan is a poor, nonindustrial hellworld with a population struggling to survive in an inhospitable environment.
- Hellworlds often offer daily, and sometimes even hourly, life-threatening situations to their inhabitants. Survivors often form intense survival skills and tend to be grim realists.
- 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 Ras Tennol Subsector of Far Home Sector.
Astrography and Planetology[edit]
This star system is detailed using the Fringian Variant System Description.
- This world lies on the Outland Run Star Lane.

System Data[edit]
Lang-Wissan System[edit]
The primary is Lang, an ordinary red main sequence star. It has a luminosity of 0.0334 Sols, a mass of 0.4574 Sols, and a diameter of 711,000 km. (I-I) a dense atmosphere stormworld, and (I-II) Wissan, designated the mainworld, have a shared orbit within the habitable zone. (II-I) a thin atmosphere hospitable world, (II-II) an exotic atmosphere stormworld, (III) a vacuum iceworld, and (IV) a sparse icy planetoid belt form the outer system. Many of the worlds retain satellites.
Mainworld Data[edit]
(I-II) Wissan[edit]
(I-II) Wissan is designated the mainworld. It orbits Lang at a mean distance of 0.23 AU (34.4 million km), within the habitable zone. It has an orbital period of 59 days 14 hours: it is tidally locked to Lang. The axial tilt is 4 degrees. Wissan has a diameter of 6,273 km, a density of 4.72 g/cm³, and a surface gravity of 0.42 G. Tidal stresses generated by the gravitational pull of Lang cause regular geological activity. Its atmosphere is rated as Thin, Tainted, with a mean surface pressure of 0.47 bar and a composition of 88% nitrogen (N2), 11% oxygen (O2), and 1% argon (Ar), water vapor (H2O), carbon dioxide (CO2), ozone (O3), neon (Ne) and other trace gases. The taint is caused by the low percentage of atmospheric oxygen and relatively high levels of background radiation: emission rates exceed 2 rads per hour. Approximately 18% of the surface is covered in seas of liquid water and sheets of water-ice: average tidal ranges exceed 0.2m. Mean surface temperature: 12°C. The climate is rated as Temperate-Cold and is static, with no seasonal changes. The atmosphere is slow and moderate weather systems driven by the star work across the globe.
Mainworld Geography and Topography[edit]
Total surface area: 124 million km², Land surface area: 102 million km², Water surface area: 22 million km².
- Wissan is a Twilight Zone World.
- The world experiences libration, which causes the star to move in the sky and periodically rise and fall above the horizon in the twilight region.
Native Lifeforms[edit]
Lang-Wissan System[edit]
The temperate stormworld lying in orbital position (I-I) (within the habitable zone) has extensive native life, consisting of minute multicellular organisms that can be found in most ecological niches. Their metabolic functions drive the process of atmospheric renewal.
Wissan, the mainworld, has extensive native life, consisting of minute multicellular organisms that can be found in most ecological niches. Their metabolic functions drive the process of atmospheric renewal.
The cold marginally hospitable world lying in orbital position (II-I) has primitive native life, consisting entirely of microscopic cyanobacteria-parallels that exist in any location where they can find even a minimal trace of shelter and warmth. Their metabolic functions maintain the process of atmospheric renewal.
No other world in the system is known to have native life.
History & Background (Dossier)[edit]
No information yet available.
World starport[edit]
Wissan has a Class C Starport, an average quality installation which includes amenities including unrefined fuel for starships, some brokerage services for passengers and cargo, and a variety of ship provisions. There is a shipyard capable of doing maintenance and other kinds of repair. Ports of this classification generally have only a downport, unless this is a trade port or system with an hostile environment mainworld.
World technology level[edit]
Wissan possesses a Technology Level of TL–7.
- Common Communication technologies for this TL include: Early video and early satellite communication networks.
- Common Power Generation technologies for this TL include: Early fuel cells, solar energy, and geothermal power sources.
- Common Transportation technologies for this TL include:
- Land: Improved automobiles, hovercraft, and bullet trains.
- Water: Hydrofoils and early triphibians.
- Air: Hang gliders and supersonic jets.
- Space: Deep space probes and interplanetary spacecraft (System Craft).
World government[edit]
Wissan is governed by a Civil Service Bureaucracy. The leadership of the government is another form (democracy, dictatorship, oligarchy), but the bureaucracy leadership influences policy. The government leadership may select the bureaucracy leadership, but not its membership. Usually the governmental leadership is divided, or incapable of setting policy and the bureaucracy provides a stabilizing influence. The bureaucracy may be the full government bureaucracy or a section with limited jurisdiction but considerable influence like the military.
