Al Masar is an icy, non-agricultural and preindustrial world, whose surface is ice-capped and with nearly all of its water frozen.

  • It is unable to produce quality foodstuffs and must import them.
  • It is a world working toward being an industrial powerhouse but lacks an adequate workforce to do so. It must now import many of its manufactured and high tech goods.

  • This world is a "Twilight Zone World", a planet that is tidally-locked to its star. It has a hot side that permanently faces the star, a cold side that permanently faces away, and a narrow twilight zone in-between.
  • It is a member of the Korsumug Main.
  • 50% of the population is composed of baseline humans.
  • 50% of the population is composed of Jaibok.

Mainworld Hydrosphere (H)[edit]

Al Masar has 15-25% of its surface covered by ice, either in vast sheets or contained deep within craters or fractures on the surface. Wilderness refueling is possible. Water for the inhabitants can be got by mining and melting ice.

  • The surface of the world is composed of a crust of ice many kilometers thick.
  • Much of the surface is cratered and covered in thick layers of regolith and dust of meteoric origin, leaving only a small amount of the icy outer shell exposed.
  • Below the outer icy shell there may be a world-ocean of liquid water.
