Mainworld Size (S)[edit]

Bur'vr'di'klr is a Meso World between 8,800km and 10,400km in diameter. The world has a standard gravity between 0.6G and 0.8G. The horizon will appear about 4.4km away.

Mainworld Atmosphere (A)[edit]

Bur'vr'di'klr has a pressure of 0.71 to 1.49 atmospheres. While a Standard 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.

Mainworld Hydrosphere (H)[edit]

Bur'vr'di'klr has 45-55% of its surface covered by liquid water. Wilderness refueling is possible.

Satellites:[edit]

Bur'vr'di'klr retains two small vacuum moons.

  • They orbit once every few weeks.

Mainworld Geography and Topography[edit]

There are four major continents, four minor continents, and numerous island chains in the cool shallow seas. There is minor geological activity, although there is evidence suggesting that this was much more substantial in the past.

  • Hll'rd: The continent where the Burugdi evolved.

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.

Approximately 40 million personnel.

Bur'vr'di'klr has a high law level with laws covering many areas of interactions of people, corporations, and the government. A few worlds with this law level may be Amber Zones. Any interaction with the judicial system requires an Advocate trained in the local legal system. Law enforcement is present almost everywhere, either as people or via technology. Legal proceedings can take weeks to months to resolve and involve a dozen or more people. All objects specifically manufactured as weapons are typically regulated or prohibited (outside private residences or visiting starships).
