Gelion is a poor, barren desert-like hellworld with no overt population, government, or law level.
- This world has no free-standing water.
- Hellworlds often offer daily, and sometimes hourly, life-threatening situations to their inhabitants.
- This world could probably be populated by very determined colonists if any had an inclination to do so...
- It is an unclaimed Non-Aligned world located in the Polastno Subsector of Serenity Sector.
- This world is a "Twilight Zone World", a planet that is tidally-locked to its star. It has a hot side that permanently faces the star, a cold side that permanently faces away, and a narrow twilight zone in-between.
Description (Astrography & Planetology)[edit]
The Gelion system was officially surveyed by the University of Tal Varisa Deep Sky Program.
- The results of the survey are available as the DSP Listing, a comprehensive star catalog first published in 5550AD.

System Data[edit]
The worlds of the system have been remotely surveyed. They consist of:
- The mainworld. It orbits very close to the star, within the inner system.
- x3 secondary rocky worlds.
- x3 gas giants.
Mainworld Data[edit]
Limited data is available about the body nominated as the mainworld. All of the data has been gathered over centuries of remote observation.
Mainworld Size (S)[edit]
This world 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]
This world has a pressure of 0.10 to 0.42 atmospheres. The very thin pressures require a respirator or Oxygen Mask this atmosphere also contains an unusual taint such as such as disease, a hazardous gas mix, pollutants, or sulfur compounds which requires the use of a Filter Respirator Combination Mask. Some taints may require more protective equipment. TL–5 or more advanced survival gear is required to settle this world.
Mainworld Hydrosphere (H)[edit]
This world has no free-standing water or ice on the surface. Wilderness refueling isn't possible on this world. Water for the inhabitants needs to be imported and extensively recycled. These worlds are classified Desert World or a Hell World depending on their atmosphere.
