The mainworld orbits just within the star's Habitable Zone.

• It lies just within the zones colder outer H- region.
• It receives very low levels of stellar energy.

• The world orbits inside the stars Jump Shadow.

Mainworld Size (S)

Gursiv 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)

Gursiv has a pressure of less than 0.1 atmospheres which requires the use of a Vacc Suit. TL–8 or more advanced survival gear is required to settle this world.

Mainworld Hydrosphere (H)

Gursiv has 35-45% of its surface covered by ice, either in vast sheets or contained deep within craters or fractures on the surface. Wilderness refueling is possible. Water for the inhabitants can be got by mining and melting ice.

• The surface of the world is composed of a crust of ice many kilometers thick.
• Much of the surface is cratered and covered in regolith and thick dust of meteoric origin, leaving only around 40% of the icy outer shell exposed.
• Below the outer icy shell is a world-ocean of liquid water.

Satellites:

Gursiv retains two tiny planetoid moons.

• Their surfaces are cratered and irregular
• They orbit once every few days.

Mainworld Geography and Topography
