Dacadad is a poor, nonindustrial world.

• 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.
• This world has few prospects for economic development.
• It is a member of the Nakris Confederation in the Ghost Rift Subsector of Beyond Sector.

• This world is a colony of Nakris (Beyond 1230).
• There is an Exploration Base in system.
• This was the homeworld of the now extinct Dacadadan sophont species.

Mainworld Data

Mainworld Size (S)

Dacadad 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)

Dacadad has a pressure of 0.43 to 0.70 atmospheres. The Thin Atmosphere does not require survival gear although it may be hard on sophonts not accustomed to it.

Mainworld Hydrosphere (H)

Dacadad has 25-35% of its surface covered by liquid water. It has a few small seas. Wilderness refueling is possible. Water for the inhabitants will be recycled.

Mainworld Topography and Geography

Dacadad is a world of red sands, worn mountains, and retreating glaciers that feed rivers flowing into shallow seas.

History & Background (Dossier)

Dacadad was once home to a native sophont species. This race suffered a global nuclear war more than 20,000 years ago, causing widespread ecological damage and pushing their world into an ice age while leaving their cities reduced to ruins. The last Dacadadans, reduced to primitive conditions, died out within 2000 years.

The current colony on Dacadad, governed by Nakris, is centered around a scientific research facility first established in 724, dedicated to the study of Dacadadan civilization. Recently, offworld tour companies have begun conducting excursions to visit the most impressive ruins; the researchers disapprove of this.

World Starport

Dacadad has a Class D Starport, a poor quality installation which has few of the expected amenities. There is unrefined fuel for starships and a limited variety of ship provisions. There is no shipyard of any kind, but there may be parts and technical support for doing minor services and repair. Ports of this classification generally consist of only a downport, unless this is a trade port or system with an hostile environment mainworld.

Dacadad possesses a Technology Level of TL–10 or TL-A in Hexadecimal Notation.

• Common Communication technologies for this TL include: Holovision, Personal Global Communications, and advanced Translators.
• Common Power Generation technologies for this TL include: Increasingly advanced fusion plants and advanced fuel cells.
• Common Transportation technologies for this TL include:
  • Land & Water: Grav belts and maturing gravcraft.
  • Air: Greatly improved hybrid grav-aircraft.
  • Space: Improved interplanetary spacecraft (System Craft).
  • FTL: Jump Drive-1.

World Government (G)
