Htalrea (VR 2340) is a poor, nonindustrial hellworld with a population struggling to survive in an inhospitable environment.

• It requires extensive imports of outside technology to maintain a modern, star-faring society.
• It is a member of the Aslan Hierate Kyatulyare Vassal in the Old Colonies Subsector of Vanguard Reaches Sector.

• This is a hot world, with a climate of high temperatures.

System Data

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

• The mainworld.
• x7 secondary rocky worlds.
• x2 planetoid belts.
• x3 gas giants.

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 inside the star's Jump Shadow.

Mainworld Size (S)

Htalrea is a Meso World between 5,600km and 7,200km in diameter. The world has low gravity between 0.32G and 0.46G. The horizon will appear about 3.6km away.

Mainworld Atmosphere (A)

Htalrea 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)

Htalrea has 05-15% of its surface covered by liquid water or ice. Wilderness refueling will be difficult. Water for the inhabitants needs to be imported and extensively recycled. These worlds are Hell Worlds or Poor Worlds depending on their atmosphere.

• Much of the surface is an arid, hostile environment.

Satellites:

Htalrea retains a small vacuum moon.

• It orbits once every few days.

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. Its metabolic functions drive the process of atmospheric renewal.

History & Background (Dossier)

Htalrea is a member of the Aslan Hierate Kyatulyare Vassal.
