Jump map from Travellermap.com

Barl is a nonindustrial water world, which has 90% or more of its surface covered in an ocean of water.

• The inhabitants of this world live on the roughly 10% of exposed land mass, in underwater colonies, on city ships, or similar arrangements.
• As a nonindustrial world, it requires extensive imports of outside technology to maintain a modern, star-faring society. The need to import most manufactured and high technology goods drives the price of these goods up in the open market.
• It is a Non-Aligned world dominated by human sophonts located in the Tangal Subsector of Mavuzog Sector.

• This world toils under the control of a military government with conditions reflecting that situation, including curtailed civil rights and limited freedoms.
• About 40% of the population is composed of Droyne.
• About 60% of the population is composed of baseline humans.

System Data

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

• The mainworld.
• x2 secondary rocky worlds.
• x1 gas giant.

The secondary star retains no planets: all of the worlds within the system orbit the primary star.

Mainworld Data

Barl orbits within the prime region of the primary star's habitable zone.

• It receives moderate levels of stellar energy.

Mainworld Size (S)

Barl is a Meso World between 12,000km and 13,500km in diameter. The world has a standard gravity between 0.8G and 1.1G. The horizon will appear about 5.1km away. Vessels with 1G of thrust should check with local starport authorities before attempting to land using emergency power.

Mainworld Atmosphere (A)

Barl 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 generally moderate temperatures.

Mainworld Hydrosphere (H)

Barl has 95-100% of its surface covered by liquid water with only a few islands and archipelagos. Wilderness refueling is possible. Such worlds are Water Worlds or Ocean Worlds.

Mainworld Geography and Topography

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

• Locally, detailed maps may be available.
