Mainworld Data[edit]

Mainworld Size (S)[edit]

Hradus 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]

Hradus 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)[edit]

Hradus has 55-65% of its surface covered by liquid water. It has significant large liquid bodies. Wilderness refueling is possible.

History & Background (Dossier)[edit]

Hradus is a high-population, heavily industrialized Imperial world. The system contains the highest Aslan population in the entire Imperium.

  • Because of this, the Treaty of Hradus, which provided admittance to the Imperium, explicitly caps technology at TL-7, even though the Aslan have the capability to produce up to TL-12 goods.
  • The world was originally settled by Humans who were soon joined by members of the progressive Esuaheakhahryoyulr, fleeing the Hierate during the Aslan Cultural Purge.

World Starport (Sp)[edit]

Hradus has a Class B Starport, a good 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 most kinds of repair, and construction of non-starships. Most ports of this classification have both a Highport and a Downport.
