Gas Giant Moons 02h.jpg

The mainworld and its gas giant primary orbit within the star's Habitable Zone.

  • They lie within the zone's prime H region.
  • They receive moderate levels of stellar energy.
  • The gas giant is "puffy", warm and swollen due to the energy it receives from the star.

Mainworld Size (S)[edit]

Chegu is a Meso World between 7,200km and 8,800km in diameter. The world has a standard gravity between 0.4G and 0.57G. The horizon will appear about 4km away.

Mainworld Atmosphere (A)[edit]

Chegu 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.

Mainworld Hydrosphere (H)[edit]

Chegu has 35-45% of its surface covered by liquid water. There will be a number of small seas or one larger body of water. Wilderness refueling is possible.

  • The worlds seas experience extreme tides.

  • Locally, detailed maps may be available.
  • Verified updated charts are constantly sought.
  • Detailed survey data commands premium prices.

Native Lifeforms[edit]

Abundant, diverse native life filling every available ecological niche. Its metabolic functions drive the process of atmospheric renewal.
