World Data[edit]

Expanded data for the Froin system.

Gloin[edit]

A large gas giant with a relatively sparse family of moons, orbiting a dim red star. If there were any other planets within this system, they no longer exist. Of its satellites, only one of the five is habitable, Froin. The remainder are small dead rocks, which hold navigational beacons. Currently, the beacons on Gloin I and II are not functional.

Units

  • Orbit is in AU or planetary radii for satellites
  • Diam = diameter in miles (X 1.609 for km)
  • Dens = average density in g/cc
  • Grav = 'surface' gravity in G's
  • Rot/Rev = rotation or revolution period in hours (h), days (d), or years (y) ; tl = tide-locked
  • e = orbital eccentricity
  • Type = G:Space/FI classification

Froin (Mainworld Data)[edit]

  • Mass : 0.43 earth
  • Apparent day length : Tidally locked
  • Axial Tilt : 0.0 degrees
  • Atmospheric pressure : 0.05 atm (very thin)
  • Atmospheric composition : nitrogen 72%, carbon dioxide 26%, others 2%
  • Hydrographics : 50%, polar glaciers
  • Albedo : 0.35
  • Greenhouse effect : N/A
  • Average surface temperature (G:Space) : 195 K (Frozen)
  • Weather factor : N/A (Earth=10, so less stable)
  • Life : no animals, max IQ 0 (no primate/cetacean equivalents);

Other units are as per the World table, above.
