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

• It is covered with very deep oceans with less than 1% of its land above sea level.
• Any inhabitants of this world would need to live on the roughly 1% of exposed land mass, in underwater colonies, on city ships, or similar arrangements.
• This world could be populated if anyone had an inclination to do so...
• It is an unclaimed Non-Aligned world located in the Noriega Subsector of Iphigenaia Sector.

• This die back world was once settled and developed, but the inhabitants have either died off or left, leaving behind the ruins and remnants of their civilization.
• This is a temperate world, with a climate of pleasant, average temperatures, considered to be an ideal or near-ideal environment by many different sophont species.

Description (Astrography & Planetology)

Falga is a binary star system.

• The primary is a yellow main sequence.
• The secondary is a red main sequence.

Falga has two stars in the star system.

System Data

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

• The mainworld.
• x5 secondary rocky worlds.
• x4 gas giants.

Mainworld Data

The mainworld orbits within the star's Habitable Zone.

• It lies within the zone's prime H region.
• It receives moderate levels of stellar energy.

Mainworld Size (S)

Falga is a Big World between 15,200km and 16,800km in diameter. The world has a standard gravity between 1.1G and 1.5G. The horizon will appear about 5.7km away. Vessels with only 1G of thrust should avoid landing on this world.

Mainworld Atmosphere (A)

Falga has a pressure of 1.50 to 2.49 atmospheres. A Dense Atmosphere requires no survival gear although it may be hard on sophonts not accustomed to it.

• It experiences moderate temperatures.
• Extreme seasonal storms rage across the world.

Mainworld Hydrosphere (H)

Falga 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

Falga retains two small vacuum moons.

• They orbit once every few days.

Mainworld Geography and Topography

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

(Blank map, predominantly watery world.)

Native Lifeforms

Abundant aquatic native life occupying every available ecological niche. Its metabolic functions drive the process of atmospheric renewal.

History & Background (Dossier)

Falga is a wilderness, a wild and lonely place that almost never sees visitors. It has the remains of a settlement destroyed by extreme weather on its surface.

• Information about the system is limited.
• The resources of the system are almost entirely untapped.

There is normally no activity within the system.

• Commercial traffic is non-existent: the system almost never sees visiting ships.
• Commo only picks up natural background noise and static.
• The system does not have any commercial navigation beacons.

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.

World Starport (St)

Falga does not have a starport. The Class X Starport is an indication that no starport exists in the system. There are no facilities or services available, and no site marked for landing.

World Population (P)

Falga is a Barren World with no sophont population. It may still possess lifeforms.

Urbanization

The crumbling remains of a few urban centers are surrounded by derelict satellite communities.

• The ruins are located along an equatorial archipelago.

World Technology Level (T)

Falga has a die back Tech Level of TL–2.

• It's Tech Level was higher when it was settled but over time the remains have degraded.
• The world has no functioning technological base.

Salvage

• Remains on this world include worked raw materials and metals and alloys.
  • These may be salvaged.
