Jacent has a very thin atmosphere and very little surface water. The system has a population between 10 million and 100 million sophonts. This is a high technology world with available technology over the standards for Charted Space. It is a member of Darrian Confederation in the Darrian Subsector of Spinward Marches Sector. 100% of the world's population is the Minor Human Race Daryen.
Astrography and planetology[edit]
Jacent is a member of the Spinward Main.
Even though its atmosphere is very thin, Jacent is a habitable planet due to a high oxygen percentage in its air, primarily the result of extremely active marine plant life and Jacent's close orbit.
The sea supports a broad native ecology which the human inhabitants make some use of, but only plants inhabit the land, and these are being displaced by imported species of more use to people.
