Mainworld Atmosphere (A)

Aursis 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 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.

History & Background (Dossier)

Aursis has owned Okefir and Vala since they were initially colonised in the year 57, but more recently it acquired Diam Kani and Siniir Sa. Aursis allegedly has its sights set on Anshar as well. Duchess daMae of Aursis claims that her peoples' presence on so many worlds is necessary to prevent a full-blown Chanestin insurgency from the Dunea Subsector, though many in the Core nobility are sceptical and wary.
