Hhurster is an agricultural, nonindustrial world still lacking adequate means to expand its economy.

• As an agricultural world, this world is a near-ideal environment for producing quality foodstuffs of plant, animal, and other forms. Quality foodstuffs are a major export commodity for this world.
• It requires extensive imports of outside technology to maintain a modern, star-faring society. Having to import most manufactured and high tech goods drives the price up for these items at this world.
• It is a Non-Aligned world dominated by human sophonts located in the Duhamel Subsector of Theta Borealis Sector.

• It is a balmy tropical world, with a climate of high temperatures.
• This world is administered by a planetoid-state on Verstand.

System Data

The worlds of the system have been surveyed. They consist of:

• The mainworld.
• x7 secondary rocky worlds.

Mainworld Data

The mainworld orbits within the star's Habitable Zone.

• It lies within the zone's warmer inner H+ region
• It receives higher levels of stellar energy.

• The world orbits beyond the star's Jump Shadow.

Mainworld Size (S)

Hhurster 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)

Hhurster has a pressure of 0.43 to 0.70 atmospheres. While the thin 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.

Mainworld Hydrosphere (H)

Hhurster has 45-55% of its surface covered by liquid water. Wilderness refueling is possible.

Satellites:

Hhurster retains a small, close, very thin atmosphere moon.

• It orbits once every few weeks.

Mainworld Geography and Topography

No centrally held map of the world exists within AAB Library Data records.

• Locally, detailed maps may be available.
• Verified updated charts are constantly sought.
• Detailed survey data commands premium prices.

(Placeholder chart, predominantly dry world.)

Native Lifeforms

Primitive native life occupying a number of ecological niches. Its metabolic functions drive the process of atmospheric renewal.

History & Background (Dossier)

Hhurster is an agricultural outpost of a planetoid-state of Verstand. The world's technological base and infrastructure are gradually being upgraded.

• The resources of the system are being exploited.

There is little activity within the system.

• Commercial traffic is relatively infrequent: ships occasionally visit.
• Commo regularly picks up signals and private chatter. Communications are in Riftian Anglic.
• One or two commercial navigation beacons may be active.
• A number of vessels may be operating among the other worlds and moons that make up the system.

Note that social data, though only 40 years old, may be out of date.

• Verified updated data is constantly sought.

World Starport (St)

Hhurster has a Class C Starport, an average quality installation which features amenities including unrefined fuel for starships, some brokerage services for passengers and cargo, and a variety of ship provisions. There is a shipyard capable of doing maintenance and other kinds of repair. Ports of this classification generally have only a downport, unless this is a trade port or system with an hostile environment mainworld.
