Mainworld Data[edit]
An older world, Greenrok's oceans drained off eons ago, leaving huge basins of metamorphised eclogite, a green olivine rich rock that gives the world its characteristic name.
- Strip mining cleaned out most of the exploitable mineral deposits centuries ago.
Mainworld Size (S)[edit]
Greenrok 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.
Mainworld Atmosphere (A)[edit]
Greenrok has a pressure of 0.71 to 1.49 atmospheres. A Standard Atmosphere does not require survival gear and will likely be easy for most sophonts to breathe.
Mainworld Hydrosphere (H)[edit]
Greenrok 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.
History & Background (Dossier)[edit]
Greenrok is a member of the Dzarrgh Run, a small but important Main crossing between Tuglikki, Provence, Deneb, and Corridor Sectors.
- High cargo capacity, low jump rating vessels move among its systems, carrying vast amounts of goods and commodities between its member worlds.

- Worlds lying on the Run are highlighted in tan.
Strip mining earned enough money for this world to be a technological boutique for traders traveling between the Imperium and the Vargr Extents.
- The small but well equipped starport welcomed traders of all kinds, and the locals quickly transferred their allegiance to the Irrgh Manifest, and they reaped millions of credits helping the Manifest Navy maintain its high tech fleet.
World Starport (Sp)[edit]
Greenrok 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.
World Timeline[edit]
Major events that have affected this world and the wider region that it lies within:
- -9235: The Vilani discover jump technology. A few explorers and settlers begin to pioneer the region.
- -4045 to -2204: The Ziru Sirka claims a few rimward worlds and establishes a firm border. The Windhorn Rift and the absence of any significant Mains discourages large-scale Vilani expansion into the region.
- -3810: The Vargr discover jump technology and begin an era of expansion.
- -2400s: Vargr raiding into human-dominated areas significantly increases. This becomes known as the Vargr Pillaging.
- ca -1700: Vargr rimward expansion gradually ceases: the border between human and Vargr space stabilizes.
- -1776 to 0: The Long Night. There is widespread regression within the area and some worlds become barren.
- The Year 0: To rimward-trailing, the Third Imperium is founded.
- 300-420: The Imperial First Survey charts the system.
- early 400s: The Irrgh Manifest is founded.
- 869: The Glory of Taarskoerzn is founded. It splits the Irrgh Manifest.
- 995-1065: The Imperial Second Survey charts the system.
- 1065: The Second Survey is published. Information about the system becomes widely available.
- 1090: The Dzarrgh Federate is formed.
Later Eras[edit]
New Era[edit]
Virus destroyed the port in 1140, and the survivors were forced into the highlands surrounding the ruins. Water is a very scarce resource, and can only be collected from the ruined port's old cisterns. Unfortunately the port is inhabited by Virus infected machinery, which makes this a dangerous occupation. Several dozen of the survivors have been killed decoying the robots, and the population has dwindled from the attrition or from thirst.
