Mainworld Data

Mainworld Size (S)

Gabrael 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.

Specifically, the planet has a 7,750km radius and a 24,350km circumference.

• Day Length: 28 hours
  
• Orbital Year: 198 days

Mainworld Atmosphere (A)

Gabrael has a pressure of 0.71 to 1.49 atmospheres. While a Standard Atmosphere does not require survival gear this atmosphere also contains an unusual taint such as disease, a hazardous gas mix, pollutants, or sulfur compounds which requires the use of a Filter Mask. Some taints may require more protective equipment. TL–3 or more advanced survival gear is required to settle this world. The atmosphere is tainted with the local equivalent of pollen which can cause an extremely unpleasant reaction when inhaled. The average temperature is 18 Celsius.

Mainworld Hydrosphere (H)

Gabrael has 25-35% of its surface covered by liquid water. It has a few small seas. Wilderness refueling is possible. Water for the inhabitants will be recycled.

Mainworld Geography & Topography

Gabrael's startown is named Tsabad. It lies on the Gamago River situated twenty kilometres from the starport, to which it is connected by gravitic lift rail. Tsabad consists of a warehouse district, an urban core, and a corporate centre. The corporate centre includes a number of Gravitic buildings, the most notable of which is the Knaegu Ghouk. The prestigious Esali College is also located in the core of the town.

To the north of Tsabad (upstream on the Gamago) lies the town of Tenjann and (beyond Prisma Canyon, in the Benjacquin Highlands) is the small town of Feyr. Feyr is the home of Hallin Products, a food processing firm, and the obscure Dreyla Standard Systems, a company dealing in robotics.

Lifeforms

Fauna

No native fauna of Gabrael flies. All flying creatures on the world are imports (e.g. Chicken). The Flying Drynet, native to the eastern plains, glides rather than flies and cannot maintain or gain altitude.

The Muugagen Pigbird has gone feral and is now found wild on Gabrael.

There has been an historic trade in Doyle’s Eel on Gabrael, but these creatures are illegal, dangerous and (probably) only being kept by limited specialist collectors.

Flora

Nyflan's Fern is a psionic plant that eliminates appetite in nearby creatures -- thus ensuring the plant's safety -- or just makes you feel happy. This is found in a number of poorer houses on Gabrael but is not native.

Calabaa Trees are grown in plantations on Gabrael and the resulting drink, "Calabaa", is exported to the subsector.

Sensitive Umoth reacts badly to Human contact. The oils from the skin transferred during an unprotected Human contact tend to cause the plant to die within a few days. Other varieties of Umoth don't have this reaction.

World Starport

Gabrael 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. There is a shipyard capable of doing annual maintenance, overhauls and other kinds of repair, and construction of both starships and non-starships. Most ports of this classification have both a Highport and a Downport.

• This starport's Highport is owned and operated by Ling-Standard Products. The highport pays very little tax to the Government of Gabrael, yet starport-related income is still the major source of wealth for the planet.
  
• The Downport has minimal facilities, serving mainly as a transfer port for agricultural goods. Most craft based at the downport are Agricultural Haulage shuttles, with a few passenger and general cargo vessels.

• 70% of the population is Human.

The representatives determine policy, including selecting members of the bureaucracy. There can be referenda, votes by eligible voters on specific subjects.

World Economy

Gabrael is the centre of a wide trade network extending across 4 sectors. The transport is not always owned by the planet's businesses, but the traders go to many places on many state's shipping lines. It is a non-industrial world.

Trade Data

Lurent planetoid ships can be found, trading, in the inner system; or refuelling in the system's Oort clouds.

Agricultural Sector

Visitors could be forgiven for thinking that Gabrael has pretensions of being an Agricultural world but only a small area (near the starport and capital) is intensively farmed. This provides more than enough food for the population and for sale to/via the highport operators.

World Culture

Gabrael is renowned for its level of social equality: Vargr are very comfortable relating with Imperial humans. Many enter professions where the two races interact.

There were a small number of Droyne working on the Planet, but this was not their permanent residence -- this was not a Droyne world.

On Gabrael, it is considered polite to bring a gift to any prospective employer.

The high-class women on Gabrael tend to employ Contract Fathers when looking for children.
