System Data[edit]

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

Mainworld Data[edit]

Aiahoih is the major component in a binary planet pair.

  • The two worlds have a similar mass.
  • The two worlds orbit a barycenter once every few days.

The mainworld and its binary companion orbit within the star's Habitable Zone.

  • They lie within the zones colder outer H- region.
  • They receive lower levels of stellar energy.

Mainworld Size (S)[edit]

Aiahoih is a Big World between 13,600km and 15,200km in diameter. The world has a standard gravity between 1G and 1.3G. The horizon will appear about 5.4km away. Vessels with only 1G of thrust should avoid landing on this world.

  • Tidal stresses generated by the worlds binary companion cause frequent seismic and geological activity.

Mainworld Atmosphere (A)[edit]

Aiahoih has a pressure of 0.43 to 0.70 atmospheres. While the thin atmosphere does not require survival gear this atmosphere also contains an unusual taint such as such as disease, a hazardous gas mix, pollutants, or sulfur compounds which requires the use of a Filter Mask. Some taints may require more protective equipment. TL–3 or more advanced survival gear is required to settle this world.

Mainworld Hydrosphere (H)[edit]

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

  • The world experiences low temperatures.
  • Much of the surface is covered in glaciers, pack ice, and ice sheets.

Satellites:[edit]

Aiahoih retains a large close thin atmosphere binary planet companion.

  • The two worlds are a similar mass.
  • The two worlds orbit a barycenter once every few days.

Mainworld Geography and Topography[edit]

No centrally held map of the world exists within AAB Library Data records.

  • Locally, detailed maps may be available.
  • Verified updated charts are constantly sought.
  • Detailed survey data commands premium prices.
