Mainworld Data

Home is 12,422 kilometers in diameter and has a standard atmosphere.

• Home has an axial tilt of 12° and its seasons are less severe than those of Terra. Slight differences in geography and physical data give Home a smaller albedo than Terra (about 0.285 compared to Terra's 0.300), which means that Home absorbs somewhat more heat than does Terra. Even though Home is slightly farther from its star, its average temperature is 18°C.
• Home has no natural satellites.

Mainworld Geography & Topography

Sixty percent of the world's surface is covered by water, dividing the surface into three continents. There is one large archipelago with many large island subcontinents. Approximately 10% of Home's surface is covered by icecaps.

Point of Interest: First City Highport

The Secretariat meets in mammoth chambers in Home's First City. Home's hive-like orbital highport, Resolution (popularly known as 'Wolfe's Rock'), was carved from an asteroid that was pushed into orbit. Resolution houses the secure chambers of the Solomani High Council as well as Ivan Wolfe Naval Base, the adjacent Albadawi Naval Academy, and a large Confederation Marine garrison.

Resolution orbits every 25 hours, as it rests higher than the geosynchronous altitude. Thus, it progresses visibly each day as viewed from the surface.

Historical Data

With the end of the Solomani Rim War in 1002, the Confederation's former capital Terra (Solomani Rim 1827) was occupied by Imperial forces and the Solomani were forced to establish a new capital approximately thirty parsecs Rimward. Home was selected for its close proximity to Terra physically, for the similarities between its star and Sol, and for its distance from the Imperial border.

• Prior to becoming the Confederation capital, Home's history was uneventful. Small Sancaterrist farming communities dotted the world, many of which still exist in Home's scenic outback.
