The mainworld orbits within the star's Habitable Zone.

  • It lies within the zone's colder outer H- region.
  • It receives relatively low levels of stellar energy.

Mainworld Size (S)[edit]

Eiihwya is a Small World between 4,000km and 5,600km in diameter. The world has low gravity between 0.24G and 0.34G. The horizon will appear about 3km away.

Mainworld Atmosphere (A)[edit]

Eiihwya has a pressure of 0.10 to 0.42 atmospheres. The very thin pressures require a respirator or Oxygen Mask. TL–5 or more advanced survival gear is required to settle this world.

Mainworld Hydrosphere (H)[edit]

Eiihwya has 55-65% of its surface covered by liquid water. It has significant large liquid bodies. Wilderness refueling is possible.

  • Much of the surface is covered in glaciers, pack ice, and ice sheets.

Mainworld Geography and Topography[edit]

No centrally held map of the world exists within AAB Library Data records.

  • Locally, detailed maps may be available.

Native Lifeforms[edit]

Primitive aquatic native life. Its metabolic functions drive the process of atmospheric renewal.

History & Background (Dossier)[edit]

Chart Aslan Hierate Kyatulyare Vassal Basic.png

Eiihwya is a member of the Aslan Hierate Kyatulyare Vassal.

Aslan settlement began during the 1060s.

  • Prior to settlement, Eiihwya was a barren world.
  • Construction is ongoing in many areas.
  • The resources of the system are being exploited.

The system is relatively busy. Private groups and business interests are engaged in a range of activities.

  • Commercial traffic is fairly frequent: ships regularly visit the system.
  • Commo picks up frequent signals and transmissions. Communications are in Trokh.
  • A number of commercial navigation beacons will be active.
  • A number of vessels may be operating among the other worlds and moons that make up the system.

Note that social data, though frequently updated, may be out of date: additional groups may now inhabit the system and maintain their own culture, forms of government, and systems of law.

  • Verified updated data is constantly sought.

World Starport (St)[edit]

Eiihwya has a Class B Starport, a good 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. There is a shipyard capable of doing annual maintenance, overhauls and most kinds of repair, and construction of non-starships. Most ports of this classification have both a Highport and a Downport.

World Technology Level (T)[edit]

Eiihwya possesses a Technology Level of TL–9.

  • Common Communication technologies for this TL include: Fiber optics and satellite communication and data networks.
  • Common Power Generation technologies for this TL include: Early fusion power.
  • Common Transportation technologies for this TL include:
    • Land: Ultra high-speed trains and early grav vehicles.
    • Water: High efficiency sailcraft, multihulled seacraft, improved artificial gills.
    • Air: Tiltrotorcraft, exotic VTOL's, PARWIG, and rocket-assisted suborbitals.
    • Space: SSTO spacecraft, early military spacecraft (System Craft), and interstellar STL starships
    • FTL: Prototype Jump Drive-1.

World Government (G)[edit]

Eiihwya is governed by a single Aslan Clan. Similar to a Self-Perpetuating Oligarchy where a single family or small group provides the leadership and important positions in the government.

World Military[edit]

Around a hundred professional warriors, in service to the ruling clan.

World Law (L)[edit]

Eiihwya 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).
