• In the narrow region between permanent night and permanent day, the primary star eternally hangs on the horizon.

The mainworld orbits within the star's Habitable Zone.

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

• The world orbits inside the stars Jump Shadow.

Mainworld Size (S)

Htoiyhaa is a Meso World between 8,800km and 10,400km in diameter. The world has a standard gravity between 0.6G and 0.8G. The horizon will appear about 4.4km away.

Htoiyhaa 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)

Htoiyhaa has 55-65% 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.
• Large areas of the surface are cratered and covered in regolith and thick dust of meteoric origin, leaving around 60% of the icy outer shell exposed.
• Below the outer icy shell is a world-ocean of liquid water.

• A number of commercial navigation beacons will be active.
