Engavat is a barren water world with no overt population, government, or law level.

• Its surface is 90% or more covered in an ocean of water.

• This world could be populated if anyone had an inclination to do so...
• It is an unclaimed Non-Aligned world located in the Riter Subsector of Iphigenaia Sector.

• It is a chilly tundra world, with a climate of low temperatures.

System Data

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

• The mainworld.
• x3 secondary rocky worlds.
• x4 gas giants.

Mainworld Data

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)

Engavat 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)

Engavat 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)

Engavat has 95-100% of its surface covered by liquid water with only a few islands and archipelagos. Wilderness refueling is possible. Such worlds are Water Worlds or Ocean Worlds.

Satellites:

The world does not retain any natural satellites.

Mainworld Geography and Topography

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

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

Native Lifeforms

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

History & Background (Dossier)

Engavat is a remote and desolate frontier. Very few intelligent beings have ever have set foot on any of the worlds in the system.

• Information about the system is limited.
• The resources of the system remain untapped.

Officially, the system almost never sees traffic.

• Commo typically only picks up natural background noise and static.

The Aslan appear to be using the system as a link in a secretive path across the region.

• If they are, their vessels only enter the system very occasionally.
• They likely conduct refueling operations then continue on their way.

(Chart sourced from Traveller Map)

Aslan Clan interests may have established an exploration route, seeking to find a safe course into the empty systems of Theron Sector.

• They seem to be moving along the very edge of the Great Rift, using isolated systems and a hidden fuel cache.
  • The most likely location for any such fuel cache is considered to be hex 2901 of Waoasi Subsector (Subsector D of Faoheiroi'iyhao Sector).
• If it really exists, the route relies on Jump-5 vessels.

The Clans would likely use any such route to communicate with and supply their explorers, pioneers, and scattered outposts within the region.

• The existence of the route and the fuel cache have not been proven.

A simple map showing the likely Aslan exploration route along the Great Rift and into Theron Sector, right:

• Rift regions are shown in blue.
• Known Aslan outposts and settlements are ringed in red.

Note that social data, though only 40 years old, may be out of date: previously undocumented groups may now inhabit the system and maintain their own culture, forms of government, and systems of law.

• Verified updated data is constantly sought.
