Aetna is a rich, pre-agricultural world with a moderate population of over a hundred million, but not yet a billion sophonts in size.

Notes

The two stars of the Aetna system have an average separation of 40 AU and orbit a barycenter that lies between them.

• They have an orbital period around one another of approximately 214 standard years.

System Data

The worlds of the system have been surveyed. They consist of:

• The mainworld, orbiting the primary star.
• x7 secondary rocky worlds. Three orbit the primary star, four orbit the secondary star.
• x3 gas giants. Two orbit the primary star, one orbits the secondary star.

Mainworld Data

Aetna orbits towards the outer edge of its star's habitable zone.

• It receives relatively low levels of stellar energy.

Mainworld Size (S)

Aetna is a Meso World between 10,400km and 12,000km in diameter. The world has a standard gravity between 0.7G and 0.9G. The horizon will appear about 4.7km away.

Mainworld Atmosphere (A)

Aetna has a pressure of 0.71 to 1.49 atmospheres. A Standard Atmosphere does not require survival gear and will likely be easy for most sophonts to breathe.

• It experiences relatively low temperatures.

Mainworld Hydrosphere (H)

Aetna has 75-85% of its surface covered by liquid water with a few large continents and extensive islands. Wilderness refueling is possible.

World Government

Aetna is governed by a Civil Service Bureaucracy. The leadership of the government takes 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. This ruling bureaucracy may be the full government bureaucractic apparatus or a section with limited jurisdiction but considerable influence, like the military.
