Mainworld Data

Mainworld Size (S)

Dustpan 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)

Dustpan 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)

Dustpan 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.

History & Background (Dossier)

Dustpan is a Balkanized desert world with six countries, each at odds with the others. Wars are common, and their most spectacular aspect is the sight of the huge tracked aircraft carriers used in most assaults winding their way across the sands.

There are ice-bearing asteroids in the system which could be mined for water but none of the Dustpan governments will use spacecraft. Centuries ago, one of the nations used satellite-mounted weaponry to attack its rivals, wiping out several thousand people. Since then, there has been an absolute ban on any development of space technology.

Visiting traders planning to sell icewater to the thirsty Pansmen will find that richer customers refuse to drink 'tainted spacewater'.

World Starport (St)

Dustpan has a Class A Starport, an excellent quality installation which includes all the expected amenities including refined fuel for starships, brokerage services for passengers and cargo, and a variety of ship provisions.

Most ports of this classification have both a Highport and a Downport.

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).
