Chalk is a barren vacuum world with no overt population, government, or law level.

• These worldlets warrant hazardous environment precautions.
• Life in a vacuum requires great discipline. After all, it only takes one forgotten seal on a vacuum suit to spell death.
• This world could be populated if anyone had an inclination to do so...
• It is an unclaimed Non-Aligned world located in the Tempoko Subsector of Iphigenaia Sector.

• It is a main world which is a satellite of either a gas giant or another world.
• Vacuum worlds have no climate, but experience extreme differences in temperature between direct starlight and shade.

Description (Astrography & Planetology)

The system has a single primary star.

• The inner rocky worlds of the system orbit in a compact resonant chain around the star.
• The outer giant worlds follow larger near-Bodean orbits.

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

• The mainworld.
• x3 secondary rocky worlds.
• x3 gas giants.

Mainworld Data

Chalk is a satellite of a gas giant.

.

The mainworld and its gas giant primary orbit within the outer system.

• Their orbital distance lies beyond the stars jump shadow.
• The habitable zone is occupied by a resonant chain of planets that have related orbital periods.

Mainworld Size (S)

Chalk is a Small World between 2,400km and 4,000km in diameter. The world has low gravity between 0.1G and 0.17G. The horizon will appear about 2.5km away.

Mainworld Atmosphere (A)

Chalk has a pressure of less than 0.001 atmospheres which requires the use of a Vacc Suit. TL–8 or more advanced survival gear is required to settle this world.

Mainworld Hydrosphere (H)

Chalk has no free-standing water or ice on the surface. Wilderness refueling isn't possible on this world. Water for the inhabitants needs to be imported and extensively recycled. These worlds are classified Desert World or a Hell World depending on their atmosphere.
